Edddie Holt: It's not wolves, it's Wolfen. For 20,000 years Wilson - ten times your fucking Christian era - the 'skins and wolves, the great hunting nations, lived together, nature in balance. Then the slaughter came.
Wolfen (1981)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Michael Wadleigh
Starring: Albert Finney, Edward James Olmos, Gregory Hines, Diane Venora
Dewey (Albert Finney) and Rebecca run away from the wolfen (they look just like ordinary wolves but they're not.. it's suggested that they're spirits or gods) and go to van der Veer's apartment. Dewey smashes the scale model of the van der Veer building as he and Rebecca are surrounded by the wolfen. When Dewey smashes the scale model, the wolfen understand that their territory won't be turned into buildings and parks (as indicated by the model). The wolfen disappear. The last scene is Eddie (Edward James Olmos) and his friends looking at the city from a bridge...

More quotes from Wolfen
Trivia: There are a few major differences between the movie and the book that it is based upon. For instance, the film suggests that the Wolfen may have Native American mythological roots-that they are wolf-like spirits that have taken physical form to hunt people; in the book, they are a separate, intelligent species from humans that preys upon weak, abandoned and likely "unmissed" people. Furthermore, the film suggests that the Wolfen will continue to predate on the forgotten with impunity; per the novel, they have been discovered with their corpses as evidence and open conflict is likely.
