Anton H One of the best, coolest, and most UNIQUE werewolf films ever made. It seems to bring three separate plots together—each usually belonging to their own subgenre—into one intriguing storyline that stays with you. Mike Nichols definitely understood the assignment. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review steve d Pretty good movie. Seems a bit underrated. Worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Kenneth P This was a mostly silly, campy, tongue in cheek horror flick as far as I'm concerned. It seems that the actors had nothing better to do so they decided to make this flick and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing serious about it and I would never recommend anyone watching this except for laughs. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review George C On my 2nd or 3rd watch ever, it's even better than I remember, in part because I have a more sophisticated (more being the operative word, not complete- I'm 39) view of story-telling and film-making, but also because this time, about 10-minutes in, I realized it's not a werewolf movie or a thriller or a romance- it can be all of those, but first it's a movie about civility. If you watch this movie, keep that word in mind, civility. Maybe it's an unintended theme, but it's deeply present throughout the film- how people with it behave and what people without it become. If you're young or otherwise cinematically unaffected, you might turn it off out of boredom after a few minutes, or laugh your ass off throughout the movie, but a piece of art is only as good as the good it does, via the joy it facilitates- so laugh! But I damn-near laugh-cried like 3-times. It's SO INTENSE! Suspension of disbelief is the price of admission, and about $4 on most streamers. Some of the best "can't take your eyes off of them" actors of our time, giving their all to a highly improbable script, and Ross Geller's in it for about 5-seconds too! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review J M This is a criminally underrated horror film that feels refreshingly mature and adult when compared to most of the output we endure from this genre. By concentrating more on character and story than blood and guts, it comes across as more realistic and, therefore, more effective. And what a cast! I think this is one of Nicholson's better later-in-life performances and his casting is ideal, although he tends to look more and more like Wolverine's dad as the movie progresses. Pfeiffer is wonderful as always but doesn't have much of a part to play here. I'm surprised an actress of her caliber took it - I imagine it was the chance to work with Nichols and this cast. But she does own the end of this movie, which is hauntingly beautiful. Spader's casting seems a bit too obvious - I mean, we all know he can play charmingly manipulative slimeballs in his sleep. And by the end he looks a bit like Teen Wolf's obnoxious cousin. Thanks to the efforts of all involved, including director Nichols who knows how to bring out the best in his actors, this comes across as a very classy production. And "classy" is not an adjective often used to describe a horror film. You won't be jumping out of your seats or grossed out to the max, but you will be interested in the story and the journey on which Nicholson embarks. It deserved better reviews and audience attention than it got. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Rami A Films like this are either good or bad. With the case of 1994's Wolf, it falls in the "good" section. It's a simple story that's overshadowed by its brilliant performances, with Jack Nicholson stealing the show.
