Halloween Video Crypt

A made for TV fright film that touts a modern day werewolf on the loose in Louisiana.  Although this movie gets a little talky in spots, I like the atmosphere present from the Louisiana setting and the modest amount of frights served up:  Some nice POV shots of the monster descending on his soon to be victims.  Also, some creepy moments as a country estate is stalked at night by the howling, marauding  wolf man and a hospital is plagued by the unwelcome presence of the destructive monster.  Certainly not the best monster make up you will see but thankfully we are not shown the beast too often until the conclusion of the film. The cast has two dependable talents in the form of David Jansen (The Fugitive) and Bradford Dillman (Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Bug, The Enforcer, The Mephisto Waltz). This is a good choice to play on Halloween night or on scary movie night.  When the dialogue heavy scenes are wearing on, that is a good time to grab a cold one or a slice of pizza.
