“Wolfen” was one of the earliest horror movies that I saw as
child, the first being “Alien”. I remember some intense moments that stayed
with me until I was able to rent it again as a teen. It’s a slower police
thriller that takes its time and explores Native
American spiritualism and inner city “gods” which is something that isn’t in
may horror movies. It has great character development and some thrilling set ups to the death scenes.
Captain Dewey Wilson is assigned to solve a high profile
murder case that involves a land developer who was working on a massive redevelopment
of a rundown section of New York City. The people who become involved with the case
fall victim to the mysterious killer as well. While on the trail of the killer,
Wilson begins to suspect that things are larger than he or anyone suspects and
when he is enlightened by several wise Native Americans, Wilson is told about
the Wolfen, the Wolf Spirit. Wilson is then tested when he comes face to face
with the Wolfen and has to prove who’s side he is on.
