Wolf Man (2025)

I LOVE IT

It's already become one of my top 5 favorite supernatural King movies, together with "The Shining", "Silver Bullet", "The Mist" and "It chapter 1" (Just edging out "Doctor Sleep"). I get the critique of it being way too short to be considered a faithful adaptation of the novel, but for a condensed two hour movie I believe it's as good as it's ever gonna get. Also, I don't believe any of the longer TV productions have truly managed to capture King's finer character work either, with the one exception being "Storm Of The Century"...

Better but still not great. Why bother teaming with Universal and using the Wolfman label if they didn’t want to keep the resemblance to the Chaney Jr look? The Del Toro makeup was much better at the that.

I really liked the Joe Johnston movie, and the Wolfman makeup by Rick Baker was pretty awesome.
God I miss Rick Baker.

I agree.

I guess cause that invisible man movie wasn't really like the original it was a tech suit of some kind. So I guess the new monsters are more realistic and modern? idk. Bad idea tbh. Universal is smart but they never really knew what to do with the monsters for some weird reason. That whole dark universe thing was odd. What the hell were they trying to build towards? Especially with that Mummy movie.
