The Lon Chaney, Jr. classic Universal Monster Movie The Wolf Man is a provocative tale of a man’s struggle against fate. While courting a young shopkeeper Larry Talbot is attacked by a werewolf, and is told by gypsies that he has taken on the werewolf curse and will become a killer. Co-starring Claude Rains and Bela Lugosi, the film has a strong cast. But the script is weak, and does a poor job of showing Talbot’s struggle to come to terms with his affliction. And, Chaney too has difficulty bringing depth to the Talbot character. Still, the make-up effects are quite good, and the score is able to create an impressive atmosphere mood. While it has some flaws, at its core The Wolf Man is a compelling and frightful film.

Just a classic monster movie from the 1940s that is still good to watch. It has inspired many future movies of the kind, so watching it gives you a good base reference. Have fun.

Not really the movie for me--boring story, dull acting, lacking in horror of any kind. The biggest problem is with the character of Talbot (and the acting of Chaney Jr, ugh.) He's a super creep with no redeeming characteristics, so there's no sense of identification possible from an audience perspective. I didn't feel sad for his desperation, I was just ready to be done with it.

“Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.”

The Wolf Man truly is Lon Chaney Jr's baby. Every time I rewatch Universal's the Wolf Man I still find myself as entertained as the first time I w More
