Producer Earl Owensby is one of those prolific regional film makers that made their name with low budget films that made money but rarely were seen outside of the area they were made. In Owensby's case, Georgia and the South.

Owensby who also plays Glasgow isn't the greatest actor, think an American Paul Naschy and you're part way there, however his co-star, Kristina Reynolds is excellent reminding me of a raven haired Blake Lively. It's a shame she made a paltry two films.

Yes Wolfman is cheap but it's also well made and nicely atmospheric, set in the late nineteenth century it has a creeping Gothicness about it - think swirling fog and musty old houses with added Occultisms with that quaint tv movie vibe of the time, which as Keirarts alluded to earlier isn't a bad thing in the late 70's America. Wolfman has a reek of stale bourbon soaked Southern Gothic and is a film i always enjoy.

Never heard of this before. Thanks for reviewing it.
