The Wolfman (2010)

Universal Monster Legacy: The Wolfman is definitely worth taking a look at. I like to consider myself something of a horror movie buff. Personally, I do not think anyone can consider themselves a true horror movie buff without having at least some appreciation for the old Universal Studios monster movies. Boris Karloff as Frankenstein and the Mummy. Bela Lugosi as Dracula. They might have gotten worse as the trend continued, but no one can deny the influence Universal Studios had on the horror movie genre.

It can easily be said of the classic monsters, the vampire has been the reigning king for a long time. After all, for each werewolf movie, there have to be at least three vampire films. Dracula alone has enough remakes to outstrip our fuzzy friend. That's without getting involved with either the Anne Rice bunch or the new Twilight trend. With that said, Benicio Del Toro is set to breath new life into The Wolfman in Feb 2010. The fact that the quintessential creepy old man, Anthony Hopkins, is in the movie too is definitely selling it for me.

Looking for an opening day review, check out Radio_Lady on Twitter for her views of the movie, I intend to. I also fully intend to try and see it in its opening weekend. The Wolfman opens 02/12/2010. The Official Movie Site
