Legend of the Werewolf (Freddie Francis; 1975)
Legend of the Werewolf is an attempt to make a Hammer-styled gothic horror film on a relatively low budget, and, based on my sadly limited exposure to the studio’s output, it mostly succeeds. This is likely helped by the presence of prolific Hammer director Freddie Francis and the legendary Peter Cushing. Legend of the Werewolf begins as a somewhat standard and boring werewolf affair, but quickly becomes a rather compelling murder mystery when Cushing classes up the joint as a curious mortician.
