The film has an outstanding cast of TV actors, Barbara Rush, Royal Dano, John Beradino, Geoffrey Lewis, Bradford Dillman and David "the Man " Janssen. Bradford Dillman was married to one of the top fashion models of the 1950's the gorgeous Suzy Parker.
What can be said about a TV legend like David Janssen, the man with the gravely voice. A guy with enough screen presence to keep this junk extremely watchable. The film is set in a Louisiana Bayou town and most of the cast actually attempts southern accents. Not Janssen, he's supposed to be a southern sheriff who grew up in the Bayou, but he spits his lines out in his Midwestern accent with an "I don't give a damn about this stupid movie" manner. Janssen is clearly in it for a quick paycheck.
Moon of the Wolf is a very dumb film. Some old coot realizes that a werewolf is running around killing people, he keeps saying "Loup-Garou". Nobody seems to know what that means, but anyone who has seen the classic Jonny Quest episode Werewolf of the Timberland, knows that this is a french word for werewolf.
The film is short and knows what it is, just another B movie made for television.
75 minuteS, written by Les Whitten and Alvin Sapinsley.
