‘Wolf Man’ has horror hounds howling!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films
I was intending on keeping my luscious lips shut about the release of the ‘The Wolf Man‘ trailer (thanks to Bloody-Disgusting for the video below). One, I haven’t seen the original and two I’ve been on a vampire binge of late. However my fellow bloggers (see Monster Land and The Vault of Horror) seem to have their panties in a little bit of a twist in regards to the CGI being used to transform the fabulous Benicio Del Toro from man to wolf.
Now I will probably cop a serve for this but… lighten up bitches! I thought the transformation looked great, Del Toro has the acting chops to display the pain and anguish of becoming the beast; which without said talent would render make up or CGI effects to something you put in little plastic bags when your walking your wolf in the park.
The atmosphere appears to be suitably gothic and we all know by now how much I love seeing a bit of ye olde psychiatry in horror films. Anthony Hopkins makes another appearance as a slightly mad supernatural sage, which is reminiscent of his role as Van Helsing in ‘Bram Stokers Dracula‘. Its Hopkins people, he’s a knight and can do no wrong in my eyes (except that weird film about the New Zealander who raced across the desert in a go-cart)!
‘The Wolf Man’ has the potential to make amends for any ‘New Moon‘ bollocks we will have to endure in the coming months, so suck it up and rejoice ye merry gentlemen and lassies, Werewolves for grown ups are coming!
