The Wolfman

If you go to see this movie expecting a traditional horror movie then you are going to be severely disappointed.   Terrifying this movie is not.  Instead its a darkly, tragic drama, showing a man struggling to remain human in-spite of his terrible affliction.   I liked how they remained true to the original story in this.  It would have been so tempting I imagine to modernize the story to make it more horrific to suit todays audiences.  But then I think it would have lost much of what made the original so great.   Also I liked how they made the werewolves LOOK human, still mostly bi-pedal, just with more hair, bigger teeth, and claws.   Twillight : Full Moon this is not.    3.5/6.0
