"Werewolf of London" (1935) was considered a flop at the box office having been released too soon after Fredric March's Academy Award winning role in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931). Both films were far too similar despite the lycanthrophy of the latter film. "The New York Times" was underwhelmed, Frank S. Nugent going as far as to say that "the film goes about its task with commendable thoroughness, sparing no grisly detail and springing from scene to seen with even greater ease than that oft attributed to the daring young aerialist" and that "the picture still rates the attention of action-and-horror enthusiasts." The premise of the pre-Lon Chaney film would possibly be even better as a limited television series.
