Wolf Guy1975
“In the depths of his glaring eyes lies the strange fate of this man!”
Directed by Kazuhiko Yamaguchi
The premise
Akira Inugami is the only survivor of a clan of ancient werewolves who relies on his supernatural powers to solve mysterious crimes. After a series of bloody killings perpetrated by an unseen force, Inugami uncovers a conspiracy involving a murdered cabaret singer, corrupt politicians, and a plot by the J-CIA to harvest his blood in order to steal his lycanthropic powers.
Horror Vault's take
In the neon-soaked underworld of 1970s Japan, a lone reporter named Inugami carries a secret older than civilization itself — he is the last of a werewolf lineage, and his preternatural senses make him uniquely suited to hunting the truth. When a string of savage, inexplicable killings rocks the city, Inugami's investigation pulls him into a sprawling web of yakuza muscle, dirty politics, and shadowy intelligence operatives. This cult Japanese genre-blender fuses hardboiled crime thriller energy with supernatural mythology in ways that defy easy categorization. Sonny Chiba commands the screen in a rare understated turn, lending the film an unpredictable, brooding menace.
