Reseñas (3)
El propio tema de las flores que florecen con la luna llena y toda la exótica exposición del principio de la película prometen mucho, pero todo lo socavan los demasiados diálogos posteriores de personajes secundarios innecesarios (sobre todo las dos ancianas alcohólicas) y la ausencia total del telón de fondo del Londres nocturno, que podría haberse aprovechado de maravilla. La película es más bien una historia íntima de interiores, lo que no importaría si su profundidad dramática no se viera debilitada tanto por los «diálogos ya mencionados» como por la igualmente incomprensible presencia del humor.

Why on earth didn’t I study botany? I could have traveled to exotic climbs, interacted with mystical creatures and beautiful women, drunk gin with alcoholic old ladies with an absurdly black humor view of life and experienced nighttime life with the full moon in London. But, thanks to Universal I realized mistake in time. And now I’m going to sign up for a gardening course, at least.

Werewolf in London is really just a nice mainstream movie; it doesn't have a completely bad werewolf mask, but it doesn't stand out significantly in this regard either. The film aimed to entertain audiences in theaters, which it probably succeeded in doing. It hasn't lost much of its humor even today. It lost everything from its horror aspect, though, which I think is quite a shame because werewolf movies also deserve to evoke fear in viewers.
