Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #48. Wolfman

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 2010

Format: Blu Ray

Wolfman. Big budget effort to bring back one of the classic Universal movies from the 50s. Is it a sucess, i personnaly say yes. The casting was very good with Anthony Hopkins and emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro. The story differed just enough from the 1941 original to keep it fresh and not a copy. There are many flashes back to the original wich was a nice touch (like the wolf cane, the gypsy camp,the looks of the werewolf, etc) The action is more modern as well (normal after 70 years...) more gore is included and more blood scenes as well as a werewolf which is much more impressive. So adapted to our modern palate. But hte movie succeeds and is magnificient to look at. Great images, costumes and sets. Will be enjoyed by all even those who aprreciate less the horror genre. I would put it up there with the Dracula from Coppola but not in front of it.

Ce remake du classique Wolfman de 1941 est tres reussi. La cinematographie, les acteurs et la musique en font un tres beau film, tres complet. Il y a beaucoupd de rappel du film original et on a meme garder le design du loup garou original. Meme les gens qui ne sont pas amateurs du genre pourrons apprecie ce film. A voir.

Great quotes:

Gwen Conliffe: It must be a wonderful luxury doing battle with imaginary demons, Mr. Talbot. Mine right now are very real.

Lawrence Talbot: You should kill yourself. Sir John Talbot: Oh, I cannot tell you how often I've considered that. But life is far too glorious, Lawrence, especially to the cursed and the damned, like myself.
