She-Wolf of London, 1946 - ★★★

This is my first watch in my Horrible Collection 2: Shock Harder list.

I actually enjoyed this more than I would. I mean, for Londoners their accent is pretty American, but hey, this was the 40s, I'll forgive it.

The story is actually quite interesting. Like it often was the case with classic werewolf movies, before they could show great transformations on screen, it's all about suspense.

Brutal Murders are happening in London, and it seems like they weren't done by a human. It seems there's a wolf, or maybe even a werewolf roaming the park at night. Our main character, a nice young woman, about to get married, wakes up after one of those murders with dirt on her shoes, wet clothes and blood on her hands. Is she a werewolf? Who knows.

Sadly, even though it is supposed to be a shocking twist, most of you will know what's happening far before that ending, because they really give it away, are pretty on the nose with it.

But still, I liked it. It's not a great movie, not one I would call a classic Universal monster film, but it is enjoyable enough. And it's really short, only about an hour. I could have definitely started off with a worse movie than this.

I'm rating She-Wolf of London 3 out of 5 stars, because even though the ending was foreseeable I enjoyed what I got.
