...scene which I have not seen in other werewolf movies, Will visits an Indian sage of the occult to find out what he can do for his little hairy problem. The sage/doctor, played by Om Puri, informs Will that his transformation will be permanent with the next full moon unless he wears the medallion which he gives him. In return the doctor asks for will to bite him. Old and close to death, the doctor would rather live life as a tyrannical werewolf than die. With his old wrinkled hand held limply in front of his face, the audience...
...climactic final scene, with the full moon shining, Laura puts Will in the only place on her father's enormous estate which doesn't have windows, the barn. With the horses going crazy in the other stalls, Will fights with the werewolf powers of the Universe as his medallion burns a hold into his chest. He sweats, he pants he thrashes with all the energy and method acting which Nicholson can muster. Predictably enough, Stewart has been infected by the disease when Will snapped at him in a fight and cut his hand. He arrives at the estate and decides...
...moreover, got where it is with some distinction. Its scrappy, try- anything-and-see-what-works program philosophy has yielded no TV breakthroughs but a few notable experiments.

The network's highest-rated show...

Pop culture was now as fragmented as modern art, and movies were boutique items in the great mall of contradictory American tastes. Movies for kids: I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957). Movies for mature adults: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). And finally, in 1969, movies for immature adults: porno went public. That same year the Supreme Court recognized that entertainment -- home entertainment, at least -- was not legally required to please the bland majority palate. In Stanley v. Georgia...
...hates. In the end, Morrow was to be redeemed by his experience, but due to the accident, the segment was left with a more ambiguous ending. Still, Landis' Twilight Zone prologue, with Aykroyd and Albert Brooks driving along a deserted road, is a wonderfully effective piece of American Werewolf-like comedy-horror. Likewise, his other pictures have often been flawed but given a sense of anarchistic earnestness that, like the many misfiring SNL sketches, earns an audience's indulgence. If only there were a point to the continuous car crashes in The Blues Brothers or the kilotons of carrion...
