I thoroughly enjoyed Wolf Man from start to finish. The film was consistently entertaining, never losing my attention for a moment. The main actor delivered a standout performance-he was absolutely perfect for the role, bringing depth and intensity to the character that really drew me in.
The movie had just the right amount of jump scares to keep me on edge, paired with stunning cinematography that elevated the atmosphere. The visuals were hauntingly beautiful and perfectly suited to the tone of the story.
While I'm a big fan of Julia Garner, her performance didn't quite meet my expectations in this film. She felt a bit off in the role, and I wonder if the issue stemmed from a lack of chemistry or simply a miscasting. It left me wishing they had gone in a different direction for her character.
That said, the twist at the end was fantastic-I didn't see it coming, and it added a fresh layer of intrigue to the story. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews, as I thought Wolf Man was a great reimagining of the classic tale. For me, it's a solid recommendation for fans of atmospheric, suspenseful horror.

I had no idea what to really expect with this movie. I purposely avoided any info on it (I know the original), purposely avoided looking up the cast and purposely avoided watching the trailer. I came out very pleasantly surprised. Regarding the director I didn't love "The Witch" as much as other people seemed to. I thought "The Lighthouse" was interesting but odd. This one really had me impressed and had a perfect cast! Lily Rose Depp does a PHENOMENAL job especially. She genuinely creeped me out at several parts and I'm a hard one to scare. I thought the charisma with the cast was really good as well. I actually had no idea who played Count Orlok and was shocked to see it was Skarsgard. That showed me what a fantastic job they did on the makeup. I think it was a little long but I think any movie over 2 hours is too long. That being said it held my attention the entire time and I never found myself wanting to know how much time was left. It was unfortunate because I missed the first 5-10 minutes due to a theatre chair being broken so I was a little confused who Aaron Taylor Johnson was in relation to Lily Rose Depp the entire time. The audience seemed to really enjoy it... with one guy trying to gather an applause afterwards which didn't work out in his favor and was a little cringe, but I personally haven't seen anyone attempt to clap after a showing before. I didn't see anyone get up to leave during the movie which is rare for a packed theatre with the length of the film. I've been just sitting here pondering the film for several hours and I love movies that make you think like that! Creepy/ true gothic aesthetic. I also appreciated small details like I noticed the men wearing their wedding rings on their right fingers which was true to that area and time period. I'm extremely into the fashion from that time period and they did an excellent job with that as well. I will buy this movie when it comes out. It's truly not just a film but a work of art!
