Scream of the Wolf - BLU-RAY

Fritz Haarmann, aka the Butcher of Hanover and the Vampire of Hanover, was a German serial killer responsible for the murders of two dozen boys and young men during the so-called 'years of crisis' between the wars. His case would partly inspire Fritz Lang's M, and it's central character portrayed by Peter Lorre, as well as this forgotten gem from 1973.

A real-estate tycoon, his coke-binging wife and a slum wino have something grisly in common: They're the latest victims in a series of random murders. A veteran NYPD detective soon suspects the killings may be supernatural and deliberate - ages-old beings of cunning intelligence and incredible power defending their turf from the encroachments of humankind. Using a Steadicam camera and Louma crane to simulate the predators' perspectives.

Nine months after a bestial maniac rapes a mute servant girl in 18th-century Spain, an illegitimate child is born marked with the sign of the beast, in this lurid lycanthrope tale from Hammer Films. Oliver Reed, in his first starring role, portrays the now adult Leon Corledo, whose murderous lupine instincts are abated only through the love of beautiful vintner's daughter Christina Fernando (Catherine Feller). With Yvonne Romain, Clifford Evans. 87 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English.
