The Wolfman 4K 2010 Unrated DC

You know, that's how they filmed in the early part of the last century. They relied on close-ups, linear storytelling, and simple dialog. It was all new at the time, and monsters were just appearing on the big screen. Now the viewer is not scared, show them the werewolf in all its glory - he needs intrigue and a sense of hopelessness.

“The Wolf Man” is naive, silly, scary in places, but more comical. Comical because good actors say all sorts of gibberish on the screen and do it with a serious look. And also because the director Joe Johnston, having shot separate scenes perfectly, can't connect them in one whole story, which would be interesting to watch from the beginning to the end. The repetitive motif, trying to cause fear at the beginning of the movie, at the end causes nothing but boredom. And the hour and a half in the movie theater becomes a real torture.

Of course, the movie can be praised for the brilliant work of artists, make-up artists and Sir Anthony Hopkins. But that's what he is sir, so that even from a flat character to create a voluminous image of a cunning and cruel father of the family. And on the artists alone good movie can not build a good movie, it takes a little more, but, apparently, the creators of this picture this time forgot about it.
