The Undying Monster
[1][2] The film stars James Ellison, Heather Angel and John Howard, and focuses on a series of mysterious deaths within the wealthy Hammond family.Although the local townspeople are convinced that the attacks are the result of the curse of Hammond Hall - "When stars are bright on a frosty night, Beware thy bane in the rocky lane" - Curtis seeks a more scientific explanation.Afterward, Dr. Jeff Colbert, a friend of the Hammonds, reveals that they have been afflicted with lycanthropy for generations — that is, they are werewolves — and he had been attempting to cure them of the disease.[3] The Hollywood Reporter explained that Twentieth Century-Fox had planned to release The Undying Monster so as to exhibit it on a double bill with Dr. Renault's Secret.[7] Alternately, Stuart Galbraith IV from DVD Talk stated that, while it featured great atmosphere, and was well-made and directed, overall the film was "disappointing" due to its less than stellar cast and illogical plot twist.
