In this visually stunning and underrated eco-shocker, the murder of a millionaire property developer puts New York cop Albert Finney on a trail that leads from the skyscrapers of Wall Street to the slum wastelands of the Bronx—where highly-evolved predators stalk human prey.

“A supernatural monster movie of extraordinary stylishness in looks and sounds as well as performances…Not since Nicholas Roeg's Don't Look Back has there been such a beautifully mounted and designed scare movie.”
–Vincent Canby, The New York Times

“***1/2. What is perhaps most interesting about Wolfen is that the story remains plausible–given its basic assumptions, of course. This is not sci-fi, fantasy or violent escapism. It's a provoking speculation on the terms by which we share this earth with other creatures.”
–Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
