The Wolfman Review

By Allan Ford | Feb 11, 2010 | Movie Reviews (6) Comment

The Wolfman

The Wolfman is a remake of the 1941 classic horror film of the same name. Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman, is lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.
Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget.
But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline has come to investigate.

The Wolfman also pays more careful attention to the characters than one might expect. It’s not Shakespeare, but the script by Andrew Kevin Walker and David Self permits the various tensions–between father and son, peasant and ruler, order and chaos–to roam free a bit. That invests the onscreen figures with our sympathy and interest, allowing us to view them as more than empty ciphers. (That helps make up for the less-than-sparkling dialogue.) Del Toro looks like hammered shit, as usual, but he conveys the character’s inherent sadness just as Lon Cheney did seventy years ago. The twinkle in Hopkins’ eye reminds us all to relax, while Weaving’s clinical detective brings genuine morality to an otherwise stock antagonist role. They all understand the necessities of simple entertainment, and hold just enough depth to let us enjoy it properly…read more[Mania.com]
