Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

tavm Well, having just previously watched La casa del terror, I now have also seen this-Face of the Screaming Werewolf-which contains footage of La casa del terror and La momia azteca, both Mexican-made horror movies. The Lon Chaney Jr. footage from the former is still not very exciting. Also dull is the new footage directed by Jerry Warren who's the producer who stitched this movie together and not very well since his new segments look very different, lighting-wise, from the Mexican footage assembled with it. The only parts I liked were the ones from La momia azteca which I've yet to watch in its entirety. So on that note, Face of the Screaming Werewolf only gets a 2 from me....

BA_Harrison According to various sources, the hour long version of Face Of The Screaming Werewolf that I have just suffered through was cobbled together from two unrelated Mexican films, La Casa del Terror (1959) and La Momia Azteca (1957), with added footage from director Jerry Warren; this goes a long way to explain why it is a complete and utter mess from start to finish—although I have a sneaking suspicion that neither of the original Mexican films are all that great either (I'm sure I'll find out one day, being the movie masochist that I am).It's always a tough job to summarise any film that is such a complete dog's dinner, but here goes…Under hypnosis, Ann Taylor (Rosita Arenas) recalls a previous life where she took part in a ceremony in a pyramid in the Yucatan. Keen to investigate further, Ann accompanies a team of scientists to the ancient Mexican monument where they discover two mummies, one really old, the other more recent. Both are taken to the scientists' laboratory/wax museum (?!?!) for examination, where they come to life and wreak havoc, with the most recent specimen (played by Lon Chaney Jr.) also proving to be a werewolf. Ann is abducted by the ancient mummy and is killed, while the werewolf mummy goes on the rampage in the city before being cornered in the lab and set on fire.In addition to the terrible editing, nonsensical story and poor acting, Face Of The Screaming Werewolf also suffers from plenty of padding, most notably the native ritual at the beginning of the film that seems to go on forever. Just think how (mercifully) short the film would have been had the editors been a bit more judicious with the scissors for that scene.

MartinHafer A bad movie can be fun--especially if the film doesn't take itself seriously or is so over the top that you cannot believe they'd make such a monstrosity. However, many times they're just bad--devoid of fun in any way. Into which category would I put "Face of the Screaming Werewolf"? Read on...Some scientists head to Mexico for archaeological doings. There, a group of Aztecs (???) dance about in long, boring choreographed production numbers. The scientists discover a couple mummies and take them back home. For kicks, they revive one of them and it turns out he's ALSO a werewolf!! Then, after ripping off one of their friend's faces, he faints--exhausted from all that face- ripping. So what do they do? Work harder to revive the monster! And, wouldn't you know it, the other mummy wakes up and has a really bad attitude as well.Does ANY Of this make the least bit of sense? Not at all--which isn't surprising considering the film's pedigree. Jerry Warren Productions took two Mexican films (one of which I saw and it was the god-awful original "Aztec Mummy" film--the other "House of Terror") and chopped them to pieces and added a bit of new material with a very faded American star, Lon Chaney Jr.--who at this point was a rather sad alcoholic. The film is just as awful as you'd expect given the circumstances under which it was made! And, as a result it's rather random and incomprehensible at times.So is this one bad enough to enjoy? Yes and no. Yes, you and your friends could watch it together and laugh at how incompetent the mess of a film is. However, I also say no because it's even more fun to watch original film "The Aztec Mummy" because it's unintentionally hilarious--as are the follow-up films (especially "The Aztec Mummy Against the Humanoid Robot"!).

dbborroughs Jerry Warren hatchet job took a Mexican comedy film where Lon Chaney played a werewolf for the last time and added scenes from Attack of the Aztec Mummy and new scenes. Mind numbingly boring thanks to Warren's tinkering (remember the Chaney footage was part of a comedy), the film involves using past life regression to find mummies in an Aztec pyramid, one of which is Chaney, the other is an Aztec mummy thats moving about. The Chaney mummy is revived and goes on the rampage because he's really a werewolf. Incredibly boring film is half over (This runs about an hour) before the mummies show up, and from there its nothing but disjointed scenes of the werewolf and Aztec mummy running about with little real dialog (most of it is either voice overs or clearly filmed later by other people footage of TV news reports). Unless you really need to see all of Chaney's films complete and in in all their cuts you should watch the trailer and move on.
