The Wolfman
For you young pups who have never seen the 1941 Universal Studio classic, it’s "The Hulk" meets "Wolverine" meets "Beauty and the Beast". This dark and haunting tale begins with Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) returning home to investigate the mystery of his missing brother and ends up with him biting off more than he can chew. It is a bloody horror flick that will keep you a bit jumpy in your seat. The curse of the beast, the full moons, the silver bullets, the gypsy lore, the damsel in distress, and the mob of angry villagers are iconic symbols of the werewolf legend. The acting, the look of the film, and the action kill sequences are great in this re-imagined throwback to the old horror genre.
Alien gives it 3 "when the wolfbane blooms" stars out of 4.
