Moon Of The Wolf (1972)

Set in the Louisiana back country, a small town sheriff (David Janssen) investigates the brutal murder of a local girl that is first attributed to a wild animal. But when further killings ensue, it becomes clear that this was no four legged animal doing the slaughter. Based on the novel by Leslie H. Whitten and directed by Daniel Petrie (RESURRECTION). For a horror flick, there aren't any scares at all and not even any atmospheric tension and is there anything duller than a horror movie without any tension or frights? Janssen gives a nice, easy going performance as the sheriff though. With Barbara Rush, Bradford Dillman, Geoffrey Lewis, Royal Dano, Claudia McNeil and John Beradino.
