I'm Working On: The Fury of the Wolf Man (Patreon)

Paul Naschy is someone I hadn't even heard of before we started doing DC and our earlier reviews of his films make no mention of him as a major horror star. We've learnt over time but we're still really novices in his filmography and each one is a discovery.
Reading some of the reviews of The Fury of the Werewolf on IMBD someone said it would be one day recognised as a masterpiece of surrealist cinema alongside L'Age D'Or and Un Chien Andalou. I think it probably won't, but I can see where they're coming from with the word 'surreal'. I think 'baffling' or 'meaningless' would be equally apt words, but Naschy is one of those people to whom you always give a little benefit of the doubt. In some ways this is just like every other one of his films, but then there's a world of weirdness that seems to have been bolted on to make it different. I don't think it's ever boring.
On a self-promoting side-note, the reason we're doing this film is partly because I have a werewolf novel coming out and I'll drop in a plug at the end of the review. Some of you will remember that we did the same this time last year when we reviewed mummy film Time Walker to coincide with my book The Mummy's Quest, and this is the next in that series.
