Burly Movies: WOLFEN trailer

Happy Halloween! WOLFEN is one of my favorite movies ever, plus it's the perfect "contemporary" horror movie. Prior to the sucktitude of Hollywood, before CGI and sequels and remakes and other horsesh*t, WOLFEN was part of a trifecta of no frills, hardcore make-up effect, story-driven, character-filled horror flicks concerning lycanthropic behavior. This trifecta included AN AMERCAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON and THE HOWLING.

What seperates WOLFEN, for me, is the fantastic character work by Albert Finney and Gregory Hines. Finney is particularly feral and craggy in this movie. Also, the "wolf vision" camera work in WOLFEN is unsurpassed for making you feel like, indeed, you're experiencing what it's like to be "unhuman."

Very cool and highly recommended.
