WOLFMAN, THE | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Where the film suffers is its lack of involvement in the crucial levels of emotion and suspense, the driving forces of the original film. Had those essential elements of the story been developed further, this would be an effortless recommendation.

Those hoping for a knockabout action movie in the mould of the similarly set Sherlock Holmes will be sorely disappointed by this po-faced, moody, broody and sometimes slow film.

Visually, this film gets a lot of things right - from fog-filled forests and sinister mansions to terrifying transformations and gruesome gore.

The man-to-werewolf transformations [are] gruesomely spectacular and the subsequent slayings are even more grisly. Unfortunately, similar violence appears to have been wreaked on the script.
