WOLFEN is a movie cowritten and directed by Michael Wadleigh in 1981.
NYC. Albert Finney must investigate the murder of Christophe and Pauline Vanderveer who have been savagely murdered in their mansion. He is soon convinced that an animal must be responsible while the police and the FBI are looking for a terrorist group.
Highly recommended.
