    Movie Review: The Wolfman

    By Malice Intended

    The Wolfman is a remake of the 1941 horror classic of the same name, set during the Victorian era. After the brutal murder of his brother, Lawrence Talbot (Benecio Del Toro) returns to the town of Blackmoor to attend the funeral. Upon his arrival, he is reunited with his estranged father Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins) and his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) and learns that his brother’s murder is the latest in a series of slayings that have plagued the town.

    Scotland Yard inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has arrived to investigate. He is instantly suspicious of the Talbot family and begins to antagonize Lawrence. As more villagers are killed, it becomes apparent to everyone involved that they are being terrorized by a mythical, ravenous beast.

    For the most part, The Wolfman is a traditional monster movie. It isn’t just a remake, but a throwback to an earlier time. It willfully conforms to all the genre trappings its name suggests, more so out of respect than laziness. It gives us everything its trailers and marketing materials promise, and manages to be a diverting. if not wholly satisfying, horror movie.

    Director Joe Johnston has never been the most visionary filmmaker, but his skills and background in special FX make him well suited for this material. The film is shot by Shelly Johnson, who keeps the characters shrouded in darkness and fog. The Victorian setting of The Wolfman is empty and foreboding; dark hues are invaded by the not so occasional spray of deep red crimson. The set design and costumes are meticulously detailed, though not groundbreaking.
