Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wolfen is a 1981 horror-mystery film directed by Michael Wadleigh, based upon the novel The Wolfen by Whitley Strieber.The plot follows NYPD Detective Dewey Wilson (Albert Finney), who is assigned to solve a bizarre series of violent murders in which it appears the victims were killed by animals. In his investigation, Wilson learns of an Indian legend about wolf spirits, and that there may be predatory shapeshifters living in the vicinity.Released the same year as An American Werewolf in London and The Howling, Wolfen didn't meet the box-office success of those films, although it was well received by critics and has come to be regarded as somewhat of a Cult Classic. | |

Aliens in Cardiff: The "wolfen" (hyper-intelligent, near-mystical (if not actually mystical) wolves) have made their den in a derelict church in a run-down neighborhood of the Bronx, and don't take kindly to people coming to demolish their stomping grounds in an attempt to gentrify the borough... | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Wolfen / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: In the book, Wilson is described as being "lazy, venal, inclined to a Victorian view of women, and a profound slob"; none of these traits can be used to describe Dewey. | |
