Wolf Blood, also known as Wolfblood: A Tale of the Forest, is an American silent 1925 werewolf film starring George Chesebro, who also co-directed it with B-serial veteran Bruce M. Mitchell.
His boss, Miss Edith Ford, comes to inspect the lumberjack camp, bringing her fiancé Dr. Horton with her.
Other notable techniques used in this film are low-key lighting, long sequences with very wide angles and stretched-out travelogue sections.
Because of this George Chesebro was able to use this lack of knowledge at the time to experiment with the myths and legends of werewolves in the later part of the film.
Unlike later werewolf movies we know today, this film does not mention any of the modern tropes such as transforming on a full moon, or killing one with a silver bullet.
According to Neil Worcester many of the film's cinematography techniques are considered unappealing and jarring.
In his "modern" assessment of Wolf Blood in the 2016 reference Tome of Terror: Horror Films of the Silent Era, film critic Troy Howarth describes its pace as sluggish and overall style a disappointment:The film spends an eternity dwelling on its old-fashioned romantic scenario before even beginning to toy with the notion of a man turning into a wolf.
