Wolfen Ratings & Reviews
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
Sets up its mysteries with an admirable tenacity, though the resolution we're ultimately offered is more than a bit forgettable.
Fantastica Daily
Chuck O'Leary
The often muddled, but scary Wolfen tops The Howling and An American Werewolf in London as the best of 1981's three worthwhile lupine thrillers.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Some sort of mixed-up commentary on gentrification.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Love, thought, care and craftsmanship have gone into this film.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
Wolfen goes through the paces of a typical detective thriller, but I'll bet you've never seen anything like it.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
'Sucken.'
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
The werewolf movie was revived and reworked with a vengeance in 1981 and Wolfen (1981) was a far more radical take on the genre than An American Werewolf in London or The Howling, though not as popular as either.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Wolfen is a thriller with a metaphysical side to it.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
I found it easy to root for the werewolves over the derelicts, millionaires, and arrogant police who were victimized.
