The Wolfman

...it’s a cabin in the wood flick with a werewolf antagonist. On that level, it does the job.

...a superb adaptation of a well loved horror classic, a frightening and heartrending new take on an enduring monster, and a brilliantly crafted update to the werewolf subgenre.

...bloody creature feature is also a biting family drama.

puts a scary, sometimes creepy spin on the classic horror creature

Director Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man) takes genre schlock reassuringly seriously; Abbott and Garner are consistently excellent; the central idea, of the threat that lurks at the heart of the family, is intriguing.
