The Werewolf of London
The movie centers on botanist Dr. Glendon, whose foray through Tibet in search of a rare night-blooming 'marifasa lupina' ends when he is savagely attacked by man-beast Yogami. After that, the juice of a rare Tibetan flower is the only thing that keeps Dr. Glendon from turning into a werewolf during a full moon.

A horror film that would have been better with someone else in the lead. Still, it's a classic.

...a 1935 thriller that's one of the most well-crafted and polished suspense movies of the era. The plot blends new components of the werewolf 'legend' with some science-fictional elements.

Intriguing, if slightly stodgy, early werewolf shocker

An abstracted-husband fable to go with the anxious-bachelor comedy of Mamoulian's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

For my money, Werewolf of London remains the best werewolf picture of all time.

The combination of uninspiring leads and a somewhat half-hearted script makes it tough going, even at a trim 75 minutes.

An intermittently captivating snapshot of the road not taken towards a more scientific and urbane werewolf genre than the one we ultimately got.
