The Wolfman

Worth it for the scenes of great carnage. There were entrails everywhere! Attempts to rush through the first act are clunky. The bombastic Danny Elfman score is overused early on, and loses impact later. It should have started slow, like a regular corset drama, rather than the highlight-reel-style editing there is now. “Previously on Lost…” Del Toro was GREAT, but the supporting cast was unextraordinary. It’s no masterpiece, but like I said, there are a couple of fantastic scenes of wolfman pandemonium, beautifully and bloodily filmed by Joe Johnson and company, paying great tribute to the classic sub-genre.
