Abbott, almost invariably good (we’ll forgive Kraven the Hunter), is perfect here: he gives us a guy striving too hard to be a great dad, unlike Blake’s own father, and neglecting the husband side of the equation.

There’s no shortage of intensity or gore, not to mention brisk efficiency in the way the script isolates a fragile family unit before plunging them into lycanthropic mayhem.

Um filme muito tenso e intenso com uma boa direção e exelentes atuações, mesmo sendo um pouco previsível o filme traz uma boa reflexão.

The film is ok, the acting is great as is the dialogue, your genuinely interested in the couple. But the film falters in it's central premise, which just isn't very interesting, after the film you wonder what it all means.

As it is, it’s an atmospheric, sporadically disquieting depiction of fatherhood in freefall.

What you’re ultimately left with is the typical catch-and-release horror template that occasionally sags under the weight of its own ambitions, as well as one that, having exhausted the idea’s potential early on, simply limps to the finish line.

It’s, unfortunately, just one-dimensional, a little first-draft-y, perhaps rushed and hurried, and never as powerful or emotional as the film obviously hopes to be.

Both intellectually and emotionally, there’s something promising afoot, and yet, Whannell doesn’t go far enough.

Slack when it should be terrifying, “Wolf Man” suffers from cheap sentimentality, laughably obvious script reveals, poor continuity and a creature that is less predatory than painful. Pity comes to mind.

"Wolf Man" is a better horror film in the trailer than the actual eventual execution.
