I recently watched The Werewolf (1956) on Tubi. The story follows two scientists who, after a car accident leaves a man severely injured, bring him home to test a serum on him. However, the serum transforms him into a man-eating werewolf.

Directed by Fred F. Sears (The Giant Claw) and Steven Ritch (City of Fear), the film stars Don Megowan (Blazing Saddles), Joyce Holden (Private Eyes), and Larry J. Blake (Sunset Blvd).

I found this to be a unique take on the werewolf genre, with a compelling backstory and premise that is well narrated. While the werewolf transformation scenes may feel dated, they still offer an enjoyable experience, particularly the sight of a Wolfman in a business suit. The subplot involving the family and the unfolding of the story is smartly executed, and the ending, while somewhat sad, feels realistic.

In conclusion, The Werewolf offers a distinctive and enjoyable addition to the horror genre. I would give it a 6/10 rating and recommend giving it a watch at least once.
