The Wolfman (2010)

A box office flop that only grossed $62 million for a film that cost $150 million to make. The only motivation I had for watching this was its Oscar win for best Makeup. Good makeup of course has nothing to do with the quality of the plot or acting, and with an imdb average of 6.0 that is really bad, especially when you consider there are some stars in this film.

Benicio Del Toro plays the main character, Anthony Hopkins plays his father, and Emily Blunt plays the girl he loves. The story follows the original pretty closely in some aspects. The cane being an omen, the gypsy presence, and the good guy getting cursed.

The leading characters had no chemistry and Hopkins wasn't scary one bit. It is rare for me to dose off during a horror film, bit this one was really boring. Don't waste your time.

Vote: 5/10
