The Wolfman(2010) is filled with the essential elements of thrill like the blood-thirsty beast, the mysterious forest, the sinister father and the heavy fog. They are quite enough to scare folks. In order to scare people more, Director Joe Johnston has over emphasised the violence and bloodshed. Over bloodshed and gore has made the werewolf repulsive rather being scary.

The Wolfman(2010) is stylishly made, family bonds and ties form crucial part of the storyline. There are some long drawn drama sequences that could leave more impact, if not dragged. If the director would have had given more time to the romance between Lawrence and his brother's girl and less to the bloodshed then it would have added substance to the movie..Well don't expect a substance in a horror flick! If you like thrills, dark woods and mysterious forests then The Wolfman(2010) is just for you! Ratings 5/5.

The Wolfman

Another horror turn up, well the movie was conceived by Del Toro, who has simply given a low budget monster movie , inspired by 1941's The Wolf Man. the story revolves like that Lawrence Talbot an English Aristocrat encountered by chance with a lycan, who is blood thirsty, those brutal creatures have murdered his brother that made him enter into the worst and cruel world of man beasts, Del Toro who has delivered his roles before in the movies like The usual suspects and Traffic.

As Lawrence Talbot he cannot justify the role , he is really looking pretty uncomfortable in an 1890's attire, probably it could be something different, having the company of hollywood actors like Emily Blunt and Anhony Hopkins and the dialogue delievery is like line reading, he could have had brought something more usual all an all Del Toro is resuming really hopeless and out of the place in the movie The Wolfman.

The story has another turn up and make you feel something wrong when his character turns into dreaded werewolf, with a twist that each time the moon becomes full the story seems so ridiculous as it changes the track of a somber Victorian drama to a hard core horror outcome to support it there are grisly shots of torn flesh, severed limbs and exposed spines what else can you think.
To give you another shock there are gruesome attack triggers that form a kind of nervous laugh along with uneasy chuckle.
