A Maldição da Lua Cheia

This movie had some chilling and gross scenes, some of which I will never forget. Mostly, because I was only 14 years old when I saw it. Maybe, it is because I could relate to much of it from the kids point of view. Heck, I lived with an alcoholic mother who could run circles around the werewolf when it came to tearing things apart and scaring little kids!

Universal certainly got their money's worth; milking their original property, the classic Wolfman for characters and set pieces. There is the gentle, caring man who is cursed to kill strangers and even tries to kill the one he loves. There are the gypsies turned hippies that shout warnings of impending doom. Oh, and don't forget that it takes silver to kill a werewolf.

I watched this one again 15 years later and I saw it for the B-Movie that it was, but I'll still hold a special place for it in my heart because it did what movies are supposed to do: transported me someplace else, got me interested in the characters and best of all, it TRULY SCARED me!

When I was 10 years old I saw this movie on t.v.with my older brother. It really caused me to fear and oddly love werewolf's.My brother and I spent every weekend of our youth in the woods camping with my father.My older brother (by two years) never got tired of convincing me that he saw or heard something that he swore must of been a werewolf. As the years rolled by I forgot that for me this movie started it all. When I was older I asked my brother if he remembered this movie, he said he had no idea what I was talking about. It drove me insane as I searched for it over the years never getting any closer to validation that it did exist.I can not wait to finally sit down and watch this treasure again laughing, I am sure at a movie that seemed so scary as a youth. Thank you IMDb for finally bringing me this grand closer. This movie is amazing.

So bad it becomes good again. The acting in this one is horrible,the transformations are horrible,the make up is horrible.Actually everything is horrible.But it still is fun to watch, especially if you enjoy older horror flicks.Watch it when it airs on tv,it's not worth renting or even buying it.I'm not sure whether the producers of this flick were trying to mock werewolf movies or they were trying to make a serious movie.It looks more like a comedy then anything else.

I saw this film when I was a young boy, and it did frighten me at times.Not a realistic movie by any means, you have to watch it more or less with tongue and cheek.But it still is enjoyable, and I really liked the mountain-wilderness-setting.I related to the plot in an odd way, even as a youngster, because I came from a broken home much like the lead characters in the Boy who Cried Werewolf.or the first time in ages, the film came on late-night(or early,early morning) TV a day ago.Having grown up in the 1970's, I suppose I have a soft spot for many of even the campy spoofs of that genre.

The acting is certainly nothing stellar, but the setting more than made up for it, in my mind.The TV -repairman attack scene is high camp, but some of the woodsy chase clips are quite fun.I also really liked the musical score.

Robert Bridgestone (Kerwin Mathews) has divorced his wife Sandy Bridgestone (Elaine Devry) and travels with his son Richie Bridgestone (Scott Sealey) to an isolated cabin to spend a couple of days together. While walking during the night, Robert is attacked and bitten by a werewolf. Robert fights and kills him in self-defense and he turns into a man again. Richie claims to the Sheriff (Robert J. Wilke) and to his father that the man was a werewolf but nobody believes in the boy. His psychologist thinks it may be a trauma and Sandy decides to travel back to the cabin with Robert and Richie in the full moon. When a werewolf attacks the locals, the Richie claims that his father is a werewolf.

"The Boy Who Cried Werewolf" is a nice werewolf film, with the story of a boy that knows that his father is a werewolf but nobody believes him. The subplot with the hippies is silly but in general the film is enjoyable. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "A Maldição da Lua Cheia" ("The Curse of the Full Moon")
