The deposed editor-in-chief of an old, distinguished publishing firm, recently taken over by a multi-millionaire, corporate raider, is bitten by a wolf on a lonely stretch of road in Vermont the night of a full moon. As he slowly watches himself metamorphose into something lupine, he discovers that he has been betrayed by his most promising protege, his wife of 16 years has been unfaithful, and that he has fallen in love with the raider's beautiful, headstrong daughter. What follows is a series of grisly events that reaches a bloody and horrifying climax. [More]

Reviews for Wolf
Most of the way, Wolf is quite satisfying, and Nicholson is in top form.
Nichols has allowed Wolf to evolve from a well-mounted, supernatural drama to goofy camp.
A sometimes shaky, always enchanting Beauty and the Beast story for grown-ups that is the very essence of smart fun -- droll, sophisticated and surprisingly, pleasingly light.
Monster movies are supposed to frighten the audience; this one fails utterly in that arena.
Nichols tries mightily to put a new spin on a very old tale, but try as he might, he never gets much off the ground.
An effective attempt to place a werewolf story in an incongruous setting, with the closely observed details of that setting used to make the story seem more believable.
