This overlooked horror offering from Universal was released nearly six years before Lon Chaney Jr.’s The Wolf Man made the figure of the werewolf an iconic monster, and holds up remarkably well in a head to head comparison with the classic. Chaney, of course, outperforms Henry Hull in portraying a man beset by a nasty case of lycanthropy. But in terms of plot, pacing, special effects, and overall horror atmosphere, Werewolf of London holds its own.
