The Wolfman on DVD



Jacket: "... Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro tear up the screen in this action-packed thriller. Lawrence Talbot (Del Toro) is lured back to his family estate to investigate the savage murder of his brother by a bloodthirsty beast.  There, Talbot must confront his childhood demons, his estranged father (Hopkins), his brother's grieving fiancee (Emily Blunt) and a suspicious Scotland Yard Inspector (Hugo Weaving).  When Talbot is bitten by the creature, he becomes eternally cursed and soon discovers a fate far worse than death.

Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, The Wolfman brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins."

As mentioned above, this film is a throwback to the Gothic horror films we watched as kids. The story is a little choppy and can drag at times, but I appreciated the simplicity of it.
