Wolf Man

Wolf Manframes its revulsion story as a tragic romance , but a dissimilar lycanthrope motion picture already did that much more in effect — despite being a tongue - in - cheek parody of the musical style . Christopher Abbott stars intheWolf Mancastas Blake Lovell , a loving husband and father who gets scratched by a wolfman and gradually transforms into a bloodthirsty monster while hole out up with his family on an isolated farm . Likethe previousWolf Manmovies , this reboot tell its werewolf tale through the lens of a doomed love fib .

regrettably , asWolf Man ’s mixed reviewswould suggest , it does n’t work nearly as well as its forerunner . The part are one - dimensional , the dramatic event does n’t land , it ’s not very scary , and the lycanthrope intent is disappointing after all the anatomy - up . But there is a not bad werewolf movie out there that has three - dimensional characters , terrifying scares , compelling dramatic play , and an unforgettable werewolf conception — and it ’s primarily a lampoon of lycanthrope movies .
