The only werewolf movie made by legendary horror studio Hammer Studios, The Curse of the Werewolf is a film that is about what it means to be an outsider and whether one can escape their place in society. In many ways the movie is the ultimate example of the nature vs. nurture debate. As a young orphan, Leon is raised lovingly by adoptive parents, ...
Written and directed by John Landis, with Academy Award-winning makeup from legendary artist Rick Baker, An American Werewolf in Londonhas become the standard-bearer for which all other werewolf movies are judged.

Before he tackled vampires in Interview with a Vampire, director Neil Jordanco-wrote and directed what can only be described as a blend between a fairy tale and psychosexual thriller. Playing off the "Little Red Riding Hood" story, the movie is known for its stylized look and iconic animatronic wolf transformation. For some, the confusing nature of...
While the majority of the films on this list are specific genre films, Mike Nichols' Wolf is an example of a werewolf movie trying to go mainstream. Starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer at the peak of their Hollywood powers, the movie makes a not-so-subtle attempt to tie in the theme of aging with the werewolf trope. Nicholson plays an agi...

One of the most financially successful French films of the 2000s, Brotherhood of the Wolf is a movie of mashed-up genres that artfully plays with the idea that there is something terrible lurking in the woods.

Conceptually, Howl is a fresh and thrilling take on the werewolf movie. After their train crashes, a group of strangers must battle a hulking werewolf, not only trying to survive the monster, but each other. The film is definitely more of the B-movie variety, but it does feature some genuine thrills and scares. The problem with the film lands with ...

- An American Werewolf In London (1981) Prior to An American Werewolf In London, writer-director John Landis was known for his knockabout comedies: The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Kentucky Fried Movie.
- The Company Of Wolves (1984) Something special happens when Neil Jordan makes horror films. Both Interview With The Vampire and Byzantium made our list of the greatest vampire films, and his beautifully gothic The Company Of Wolves almost tops our werewolf list.
- The Howling (1981) There were three werewolf films released in 1981, and two of them make this list (the other, Wolfen, isn’t bad either). Friends and comrades John Landis and Joe Dante went head-to-head with An American Werewolf In London and The Howling respectively, and while the latter is ultimately the lesser of the two, it’s a pretty close call.
- The Wolf Man (1941) It took Universal a while to get werewolves right. In the first wave of Universal horrors in the 1930s, Henry Hull was 1935’s rather underwhelming Werewolf Of London.
