THE WOLFMAN LOOKS LIKE A HOWLIN' GOOD HORROR!
December 10th 2009 00:22
A nobleman, Lawrence Talbot, returns to the family estate in Victorian-era Blackmoor on the request of his brother’s distraught fiancée Gwen to help look for his missing brother. A suspicious Scotland Yard inspector joins the search. The movie stars Benicio Del Toro as Talbot, Anthony Hopkins as his estranged father, Emily Blunt as Gwen, Hugo Weaving as Inspector Alberline, and also features Geraldine Chaplin. Now, that’s a cast!
But if the production stills are anything to go by the movie promises to be a sumptuously moody portrait of rage and despair, a dark piece of nightmare art. The MPAA have given it an R-rating, let’s hope it’s what the industry refers to as a hard R (which would mean at least a strong MA down under). Bring it on I say! I want the hairs on my back to bristle with fear, the saliva in my mouth to swirl feverishly, and the howl in the pit of my throat to ache for release into the hot, sweaty night.
Here are a selection of some of the more mesmerising stills, savour them!
How good does Rick Baker's werewolf make-up look! Those lycan eyes (all the better to star into the abyss), those lycan talons (all the better to rip you to shreds), those lycan teeth (all the better to devour your flesh) ...
Here's the sensational trailer:

I like Joe Johnson's The Rocketeer, but still am a bit bummed that he had to replace Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo). I juts think that Romanek really had a vision that would have been worth seeing.
That being said Benicio looks like he was born to play the Wolf part and the stills look like moody goodness.
Hope it ends up as good as the trailer.

'The Wolfman' looks like good old fashioned blood-curdling fun. It has a fabulous cast also.
It's been a while since I saw a really scary film. Hopefully this is more of a scarefest than 'Paranormal Activity'. I found that suspenseful rather than scary.
Cheers!
