Poor Larry. Tries to steal a guy's wife and becomes a werewolf instead. Tale as old as time.
Brian CollinsSep 28, 2017“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.” I love The Wolf Man. I love its atmosphere (in fact when I think about “the look” of classic Universal horror, it’s generally the fog…

David SimsAug 1, 2020Bela Legosi could appear in every movie for under a minute and I think the world would be a better place. Reviving the Universal monster movie, this film captures much of the fear and lore that appeared on the early 30s films. I found it interesting that Lon Cheney Jr was…
Ethan ColburnMar 26, 2024It is so clear to me that the wolf man is the best universal classic monster, and that werewolves in general are underappreciated. I always felt excluded from vampire fever but as my frontal lobe develops i am slowly freed by the realization that I was a werewolf all along.…

"I believe a man lost in the mazes of his own mind may imagine that he's anything. Science has found many examples of the mind's power over the body." The Wolf Man is a psychological thriller about a young man, traumatized by the death of his older brother, who returns…
ScreeningNotesJan 28, 2014There's a tiny element of unintentional camp to the quaint, delightful classic thriller The Wolf Man, in that it's so very sincere about explaining lycanthropy to an audience who presumably has never heard of werewolves and finds them exotic and alien. The film repeatedly…

- Morgan likedThe Wolf Man
i thought larry was kinda creepy at first but then i started to feel bad for him, especially with his super sad/nervous eyes, the wolf man is definitely my least favorite universal monster designs though, all that hair is ewww but the movie was good
MovieDaddy lovedThe Wolf ManOf all the horror sun-genres, werewolves are my least favorite. What makes this such an exception is a fantastic script about family, legacy, and origins. Cheney is fantastic, and Lugosi’s brief time on screen really showcases this as a quintessential Universal Monster icon.
Jojo likedThe Wolf Man“You policemen are always in a hurry, As if dead men hadn’t all eternity” Probably one of the oldest movies I’ve watched so far but I Love werewolves old Larry was a little creepy at first but Felt bad for Larry that his dad had to kill him in the end. 6/10
- Carson Willoughby dislikedThe Wolf Man
I felt I never got something to sink my teeth into. The protagonist acts creepy to this poor girl the whole time. I know it’s a product of it’s time and was huge at that time. But it’s just not scary or what I find to be worse -it’s not interesting
Erika Leigh Kuhl likedThe Wolf ManA very dark ending unfortunately a little outdated and the makeup could have been a bit better but a solid film nonetheless. More tragedy than horror. Elements of fate and future are foreshadowed through the characters in a poetic way.
Frogdor likedThe Wolf ManOverall this film is built up with a good cast and writing, with the acting being generally solid. That said, while I enjoyed the film I’d argue that there wasn’t anything to write home about.
- Izaak Whisler likedThe Wolf Man
the most plot of all the original creature features i’ve seen thus far but the pacing is way too slow also it was laughable how the transformation was simply fading shots of his feet
logan likedThe Wolf ManMore thematic than I thought it was going to be when I started the film. Set design is also pretty great. I love the use of fog in the woods, it's very atmospheric
Jules dislikedThe Wolf ManIt was not great, I wanted it to be good but just because it’s in black & white doesn’t mean it’s a really good classic movie.

A stodgy Universal thriller from 1941, redeemed by a name-heavy cast.

Still the definitive werewolf movie.
