"Wolfen" is one of my favourite horror movies.The atmosphere is very creepy,the acting is great and the film is quite gory as well.I remember seeing this one when I was young and it scared the hell out of me.It's a shame that most of the modern horror movies can't do the same.Try to find this marvelous,eerie flick-it won't let you down.
