When I was 6 years old my father showed me, An American Werewolf in London. I spent the entire time watching the movie shitting my pants, between the fingers of my hands that covered my eyes. I then slept in his parents bedroom for 2 weeks terrified from visions that would appear when ever he closed his eyes!
Cut to the present and I am going back to the cinema to see the film that fundamentally created his obsession with werewolf’s, possibly London boys and irrational fear of the song Blue Moon! Thanks to the the Astor Cinema!
There are many werwolf films made but 99% of these, for some reason are always low budget and extremely tacky! Im not sure why film makers who are starting out or who have no budget chose to make a creature feature as their choice of film and that they choose a highly saturated identifiable creature like the Werewolf who is renowned for terrible film adaptations. It’s like they wake up and go, I’m gonna make a film! Lets see shall it be a terrible Werewolf one or a shark one?!? The only other creature who can compete with WW’s for most over saturated terrible amount of films is, sharks. Funnily enough sharks and WW’s are the two creatures that terrifying me more than anything else! ( I have a HUGE imagination, some-what curbed at my age now BUT I grew up believing WW’s were ver real!)
So I am SO FKIN EXCITED that all of a sudden there seem to be a flow of WW films that look like they have a budget and also have names attached to them that are known for being attached to quality KIKASS films! See the below;
And not so high brow… BUT def looks like its gonna be a FUCK load of FUN!
I have always said WWs could be portrayed or have an extremely sexual connotation to them. In that case of Operation Blood Hunt, the WWs look stacked and that gives me a major hard on! Imagine, muscular, animalistic sex with stacked hairy, stinking blokes, weather in wold or human form. I got hard when i saw that scene in Underworld where the WWs are put fighting…
When I was was looking for a two four lettered word to get inked on my fingers the long list came down to “OPEN WIDE”or “WERE WOLF” I decided to go with WW cause it has so many meanings for me. At the time I didn’t realise it would soon become an explanation for guys who met me and were shocked that I can be “normal” or that I can be “gentle” and that I don’t just go around “smashing shit”. Some even suggested what they see on film is a “character” to which I can genuinely tell you that it is not. But to think that is my only state of being is quite naive. When it comes to sex, there is a WW in me but it is up to the person I am fucking to bring it out.
Here’s some more good WW films of recent times…
