|
|
|
Written and crafted with great sensitivity, this is high class gothic horror
Feb 07, 2010
|
The poor pacing, blatantly obvious narrative signposting and over-reliance on false scares generated by sudden sounds and movements, removes any chance of The Wolfman actually being frightening.

|
Splattered with the blood of authenticity, this is an impressively executed genre film spiked with scares, tension and pathos as we enter the surreal world of the tortured werewolf

The matter-of-fact way everybody involved faces this supernatural horror drains most of the chills right out of it.

If you like your horror with a bit of B-goodness and nostalgia added for flavour, then The Wolfman is right up your alley.

The film’s biggest departure from the 1941 classic--and its silliest mistake--is making Sir John a werewolf, too.

Doggedly, or rather wolfishly, the film doesn't go in for camp or mirth, at least until its misjudged and semi-endless wolf-on-wolf climax.

The Wolfman avoids what must have been the temptation to update its famous story. It plants itself securely in period, with a great-looking production set in 1891.

This is fairly satisfying, particularly a ghoulish episode in a Victorian insane asylum.

Benicio Del Toro looks even more like Lon Chaney Sr. than Chaney Jr. did, and he’s a far better actor than the previous Wolf Man.
