The wolfman

Post by weedguru_animal »



Its a tough task to do much with a story which has been done many times before. The rise of the lycans attempted to expand upon the story, by mixing two passages of supernatural genre together, but for me, it failed. Perhaps with better actors it would have been much improved. The reason I gave this a chance, The Wolfman, that is, was because it involved two of my favourite actors, Hopkins and Del Toro. The main thing that stood out about this latest in a long line of werewold flicks, was the graphic savagery depicted, as well as the expected sterling performances of Del Toro and Hopkins. Its rare, in werewolf efforts, to see the beast in question, lacertaing not just individuals, but whole groups of people...which was a refreshingly exciting touch. A man riding through a forest in darkness, is prone, vulnerable, to slaugher by such a wild beast, but a whole gypsy encampment???? hohohohoho! what fun, for a vicious, needy for blood monster, to truly go to town. Hardly worthy of scaring me, though my dreams were affected after watching it...I enjoyed this.

My parents watched it and said it was "really good". I'm going to give it a watch because I like Hopkins and Del Toro.
