Title: MOVIE DIFFERENT FROM BOOK. BOTH SMART, ENTERTAINING.
Product review: Having read the book by Whitley Streiber, it's clear that the director of the movie took creative license. (There was no Indian and the Wolfen were not wolves, but werewolves). However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that both versions of the story worked well; with the movie having an interesting moralistic subplot. Although I enjoyed other werewolf movies ("American Werewolf in London" and the 1st "Howling"), "Wolfen" was refreshingly subtle in its depiction of the beast, giving only their perspective by using a "wolf cam." Thus, "Wolfen" is a good choice for those who enjoy intelligent thrillers as opposed to blood-splattering slice and dice horror films.
