I decided to treat myself to the matinee this morning and while it is not great by any standards, I rather enjoyed it. Rick Baker's work was reason enough for me to like it-the transformation scenes were cool and I thought the fully turned wolfman a nice homage to the original. I'd say if you like old fashioned monster movies, you'll probably like this. It is not truly scary but there are several pretty good jump scares.

Cool, thanks for the review Scott. I love old fashioned monster movies. I really want to see this and hopefully will be able to catch it on the big screen.

Was it Nick Cave I saw second-from-right in the newspaper ads?

Maybe. I don't get the paper any more but I don't recall seeing his name attached to the film but that doesn't mean he isn't it just means I haven't heard if he is and let me tell you that the things I don't hear far outweigh the things I do.

Probably the reviews I read would have mentioned if he were in it, but it sure did look like him in the ad.
And I know what you mean about things heard and unheard...:beer:
The missus and I are going to have a date night soon. We're thinking about going to see this.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

cobalt79 Wrote:Good movie....worth a night out to see it on the big screen. No spoilers from me...but as Scott said..the transformation scenes were cool.Yup. I definitely thought it was worth seeing on the big screen. The transformation scenes were very, very good, imo. Like others have said, it wasn't truly scary, but I wasn't really expecting it to be either... I expected a pretty solid remake of the original Wolfman movie, and that's exactly what I got.
How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.
May the Norse be with you.
