Best werewolf transformation
 
What Werewolf movie do you think had the best way of transformation from human to werewolf. To me the best one I have seen so far is from trick r treat.

wizard of gore 08-16-2012 12:17 AM

iv never seen trickrtreat.the first wolf mans the best coz of how fake it is,and the new wolf mans good for the most real,but to be honest those are the only ones i can properly remember

Rick Baker's work in An American Werewolf In London would be my favorite.

neverending 08-16-2012 12:46 AM

American Werwolf in London is great, as Elvis said.

What's the one with David Bowie.... is that The Hunger?

I agree.

Also the werewolf transformations in The Howling.

The Hunger was about vampires.

An American Werewolf In London is still the best for me too. The Howling was pretty good too.

MichaelMyers 08-16-2012 05:06 AM

How about the cheesiest? See Teen Wolf (1985). White wolves can jump! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpOQ3SK6zXE

I like this one as its a classy under the table number.I love the way he fights against it and finally succumbs to the beast inside.
American Werewolf in London was fantastic for its day too.

American Werewolf in London followed by The Howling = best



worst=

Dara 08-16-2012 06:13 AM

Remus Lupin transforming is a good un too.

Yup...nothing can top that, very realistic.

Dara 08-16-2012 06:23 AM

Who here has got the most 'mid transformation' werewolf feet though?You know who you are...

Dead&Bloated 08-16-2012 11:52 AM

An American Werewolf In London all the way. One of the few horror movies containing some comedy that I like.

though back then i had a thing for werewolfes, so i watched and liked every single movie about them, even van helsing.

Never watched Van Helsing-I just can't bring myself to do it I'm afraid.

It came out when I was doing the goth thing the first time round! It was compulsory viewing!

wizard of gore 08-20-2012 12:36 AM

sounds like a must see

randomgamer666 08-20-2012 01:52 AM

an american werewolf in London and that bit in trickrtreat

Dara 08-20-2012 02:00 AM

George from Being Human does the pained human struggling to suppress the beast well too.Love the spine.

randomgamer666 08-20-2012 02:31 PM

great program to bad it ended

phantomstranger 08-20-2012 03:25 PM

"The Howling" is my personal fave.

Michael-Myers 08-27-2012 12:44 AM

American werewolf in London hands down for me. Also Silver Bullet was very good as well, both exceptional for their times.

It didn't! Series 4 finished a few months ago and series 5 is in production.


As for the Company of Wolves, I haven't seen the film but whilst studying "The Bloody Chamber" I pretty much learned the short story inside out. I was told the film was VERY different and to stay away from it.

I've also always liked Lupin's transformation. I feel like it pays nice homage to earlier transformations and uses CGI to good effect (unlike Van Helsing).

blackwriter 08-31-2012 12:07 AM

I know this isn't a horror film, but what about the werewolf transformation in Underworld? It looked pretty good... or am I the only one that thinks that? Ha.

Bloodwolf13 10-09-2012 02:35 PM

Underworld is not bad there are better ones out there i still think trick r treat is the best one and that the Harry potter one is the worst both the transformation and the werewolf it's self look does not look realistic enough

crabapple 10-10-2012 06:50 AM

Mmmm, I would say, American Werewolf, just because it takes a lot of time making sure the changes are specific and structural, and it's crazily lit so as not to hide things. The rubber effects had to be built pretty clean and perfect. ;)

Howling gets a great 2nd prize for its atmosphere and overall weirdness. ;)

I also dug the "pillar transformation" from Werewolf of London (1935)...still very clever and effective! Kudos to Jack Pierce and John Fulton for that one! ;)

roshiq 10-10-2012 06:59 AM

Sometimes I wonder why hasn't those studios making any werewolf-found footage film yet? I've an idea but (as always) being too lazy & unskilled to write it down:D

ManicOne 10-10-2012 04:15 PM

Definitely American Werewolf. Its focus on individual limbs (OMG the HANDS!!!) was fantastic, the sense of pain conveyed immense. Plus I was only about 8 at the time, caused fucked up dreams for weeks!
