Well, maybe Johnston will go crazy with the film. I mean this is his first Horror film so give him a chance.Originally Posted by PamGrierOverdrive

I'm impressed with the make-up & there's no CGI! Rick Baker also did An American Werewolf in London which took all day for the character's complete transformation... Originally Posted by DWEarhart

Yeah, can't say I really give a shit about the original. Also can't say I really give a shit about a werewolf movie at this point if it isn't rated R. My mind is made up about this film.
END OF DISCUSSION!

That shot of Del Toro as Wolfie is fairly reminiscent of the classic film, but it still looks modern. I like it.

The original Wolf Man is a favorite of mine. In watch it at least once a year, if not more. And while I know I'll always have the original Lon Chaney Jr. movie . . . I sure hope this is good.
In the interview, they said it was like an old-fashioned gothic horror movie, which sounds good to me. It means it probably won't be a mindless gore-fest like some modern horror movies seem to be.

Well then, I guess you "don't give a shit" about one of the true classics of the monster horror genre. Originally Posted by PamGrierOverdrive

Guess I'll be Mr. Funsucker...
Wolf Man was the weakest of all the Universal monsters. It was more of a star vehicle then a monster movie. Chaney Jr. wasn't a great actor and don't push this "Well he got an Oscar for playing Lenny". Hate to tell you this, but it wasn't that big a reach for him.
The story was great until it got ruined because Chaney can't do accents. And the makeup was crap.
I'm hoping this remake sticks more with Guy Endore then re-edited Sidomak.

Really? I thought Wolf Man was one of the stronger ones, at least for the initial movies in each series. But then, different strokes for different folks. Which one was your favorite? Originally Posted by Royal

why would Chaney have to do an accent? wasn't he an american in the film? are you referring to Lugosi? Originally Posted by Royal
