(VHS, Thorn EMI Video)
North Carolina drive-in wonder Earl Owensby stars in and produces Wolfman, based on the familiar werewolf legend. Set in a turn-of-the-century South, the actors are impeccably attired in period costumes. However, when they open their mouths nothing comes out but rural drawls, completely spoiling the effect. The acting is amateurish beyond belief, with lines spewed off as if they are in the latest high school play. Lead Owensby is the worst offender, with many scenes featuring his repulsive hairy torso, and that's when he is not a werewolf. The soundtrack is a repetitive synth-driven drone. About the only thing I can say to its credit is that there are a couple of good nightmare scenes and the werewolf attacks are bloody if poorly staged.
