What to Know

Critics Consensus

Suitably grand and special effects-laden, The Wolfman suffers from a suspense-deficient script and a surprising lack of genuine chills.

Sure, it's more sinister and gory (ridiculously so at times), but Del Toro's acting is a standout. Go to Full Review Keith Uhlich Time Out Nov 17, 2011

As for the epic battle pitting werewolf versus werewolf -- let’s just say it couldn’t be any less frightening had the filmmakers elected to pit Pekingese against Poodle. Go to Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Jul 13, 2024

…better than a dire reputation suggests; it’s clearly a loving attempt to revise a classic story, with top talent all on message, and a few neat moments for genre fans to enjoy, even if the final wolf-on-wolf fight is risible… Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Aug 22, 2023
2.5/4

Benicio Del Toro was well fitted to play the doomed hero. The main actors were all very good as was the atmosphere. But seemed too much like trying to hit the marks without the true depth needed. I enjoyed the film but could have been a new Classic See more Read all reviews
