"It's not wolves, it's Wolfen."Dewey Wilson (Albert Finney), is a New York detective who is assigned to solve the violent murders of a prominent businessman, his wife and bodyguard. The victims have been ripped to shreads as if by dogs. At first the theory is that it is a terrorist group, but as he gets deeper into the investigation he starts to learn of an Indian legend about wolfen, wolf like creatures that prey on humans and the theory that urban renewal is depriving them of their traditional hunting grounds.
Based upon a novel by Whitley Strieber, this is a glossy and intelligent take on the werewolf horror.
