Tubi Thursday: Scream of the Wolf (2022)

 I was going to watch Scream of the Wolf (1974) because it was a Dan Curtis Film.
...sadly, the Tubi Copy is like a 4th Generation VHS rip, so...what's Plan B?

Scream of the Wolf (2022).

Let's do this!

Somewhere out in the in descript regions of the UK, a bunch of folks are making a Vampire Film.

Nice misdirection there.

A couple new guys are called out to work on it and we *sort of* get an American Werewolf in London reference with them asking for directions at a Pub.

It's about the only comparison I'll make to a good Film, so enjoy it.

After lots of stalling and nothing, we learn that a Werewolf has made it to the Manor.
Is that why this is also called Wolf Manor?

It sometimes kills some folks- like the guys on the way to the Manor- but sure takes his sweet time.

This Film has time for lots of complaining by the old guy playing the Vampire AND for him to have a $36 Dream Sequence (one lady in a top hat dances while music plays).

Can you start killing some folks again, Mr. Wolf?

Thank you.

In the most telegraphed of endings, we see the old guy has a silver cane and uses it to stab the Wolf and walk away in the morning.

Confusingly, we then cut to a bunch of Werewolves all meeting on the road by the Manor...since I guess the victims are now transformed?

That or there was always five of them?  Who cares?
The End.

Okay, let's jump right into positives.

The Werewolf Suit looks cool.  I like Practical Werewolves (more than Practical Magic).  It's nice and furry.

There are also some decent gore and fake limbs.

The Setting is nice.

Sadly, that's it, as the Film drags for long, long stretches of time.
The Werewolf can't enter the House...until he can.  That will get us to the mandatory runtime!

I'm only here since there's a bad copy of a Film I wanted to see, so I got what I was going to get.

Is this a Werewolf Comedy or a decent Werewolf Film?  They say its one, but it is certainly not the other.
