Paolo HeuschWerewolf in a Girls' Dormitory (1962)

From IMDb:
The new science teacher Dr. Julian Olcott (Carl Schell) with a mysterious past arrives in an institutional boarding school for troublemaker girls. Along the night, the intern Mary Smith (Mary McNeeran), who is blackmailing another teacher - Sir Alfred Whiteman (Maurice Marsac) - with some love letters, is slaughtered by a werewolf. The detective in charge of the investigation attributes the crime to a wolf, while her mate Priscilla (Barbara Lass) believes she was killed by Sir Alfred. On the next days, other deaths happen in the school, reducing the list of suspects.

Subject: Nothing memorable but worth a look if you're interested in werewolf films
I tend to be a fan of Werewolf films, being raised on the old Universal movies. So when I stumble across one I give it a try.

WEREWOLF IN A GIRLS DORMITORY true to its uninspired title, is an uninspired movie. Point of fact it starts out as a very bad move, poor acting and dialog throughout.

Though the mystery of the Werewolf's identity kept me watching, and the one good actor tends to be the actor who plays the werewolf. So nothing memorable or worth keeping, but worth a look if you're interested in werewolf films.

This film is more of a mystery/whodunit with a werewolf thrown in for good measure. It has a lot of twists and turns before getting to the answer; it's worth watching.

In my opinion, the only things really so-called campy about this movie are the dub work and the fact that it was made in '61. Movies were just different then, so naturally this one is. And dubs are so often crappy that the quality of this one isn't really relatively that bad. The actors' faces are pretty expressive, more in some moments than others, and if you don't allow your mind to think "their speech is so stilted, why are they acting like that??" and just allow yourself to appreciate that they ARE dubbed, it's hard to find much fault with them.

I honestly think this is a GOOD movie. It has a lot of little assets, many that aren't seen too often. The characters have various relationships, and everyone is allowed explanation of their character to allow pity, sympathy, or whatever personal reaction you might have. No-one is really vicious, either, and that's refreshing. A movie where nobody is mean to anyone else, but which still involves emotional and physical conflict? More of these nowadays, please.

[SPOILERSSS]



There are three separate tragic love stories in this movie, for one thing. They all get screen time, and both sides of each story are given exposure (apart from the girl who is dead before the movie starts). The storytelling is fairly slow, but that allows each plot thread to build rather than just feature, and lets you figure out or think you've figured out who's doing/thinking what before you're simply told. Leonore's death scene is SAD! And not just sad, either. The werewolf's plea to her to not think he's a murderer, when she's just admitted SHE has killed in cold blood for love of him? It's just a line that passes by, but ouch.



[END SPOILERS]

There's more, but you can see that for yourself. Watch it!

A campy and fun werewolf movie. Perfect if you have a two hour layover between flights, or any other situation where you need to kill an hour or so.

Kitchy, you bet. Lame no.
