Wolfman.Wolfman is part of the universal monsters pack of films – something we should all own – I think we all do own them! He is in the same family as Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy and the Invisible Man. All great collections that are must haves for movie fans.
Anyway, we have seen many werewolf movies, some were re-imagined some were re-tellings etc. An American Werewolf in London / Paris, Ginger Snaps 1-3, Dog Soldiers, Underworld 1-3, Chocolate, Twilight Saga, Bad Moon, just to name a few. But this Wolfman film was one of the best. Why? Because we got Atmosphere, music, acting, story AND horror, effects, blood and guts! The wolfman is also the REAL wolfman. Meaning that he is a man, standing upright and has torn clothes. I’m sick of people turning into actual wolves (sorry Twilight) but that is just crap. I want a MONSTER! I loved Bad Moon because the guy transformed every night and he was a monster…really bad ass and scary! This wolfman is equal to him, but still had the torn clothes.
One other pet peeve of mine is quick transformations, like Chocolate or Twilight. They just morph into a wolf. I want the long agonizing transformation – this is a curse after all! This film is a PROPER remake. Period setting and actual horror, no jokes, no funny moments etc.
I must say I jumped at least 5 times during this thing, which was really unexpected! And they had the double hit dream – you get scared in your dream and wake up, only to be scared again! I love it!!!!!!!!!!
And you get to see the wolfman in full do his thing. Of course in the beginning you only see shadows, but you do get at least 3 good scenes where you see him perfectly! And he’s makeup, not CGI, well he is CG when he’s jumping around etc, but you get to see an actual human in full wolfman makeup – which I like! And you got a surprise battle at the end that I wont give away, but you can figure out.
You should see this movie large.
5/5
J-Man.
