Eric Stevenson I've recently been binge watching "The Twilight Zone" and I noticed something. Every time I watch a black and white horror or sci-fi film, it just feels like I'm watching a long episode of "The Twilight Zone". I'm glad to understand all the pop culture references to this film now. I recognize that episode of "Dinosaurs" as being a direct parody of this film. I recall how it was featured in "The Sandlot". Anyway, the movie's great on its own.The best parts are probably the philosophical talks these characters have. I especially love hearing about how the mind affects the body. It's a very clear looking film and the makeup effects are quite nice. I was afraid it would end at an hour in. Something 70 minutes long has to have good pacing. Bela Lugosi only played Dracula twice, but he was in a lot of other horror movies at this time, like here. ***1/2

Julian R. White In my opinion, a classic like this doesn't really need a prolonged, overly descriptive review. It's actually a lot better now when I watch it as an adult, rather than when I saw it as a kid. My overall reaction? This film is great. You really start to feel bad for the main character who, simply cannot come to tell himself that what he is experiencing is even real. He is a poor soul, cursed with an ancient hex. You feel frustrated that the townspeople accuse him of simply murdering people, even when they see the clear signs that this is indeed something out of the ordinary. I will have to admit though, that the ending was a bit quick, and left you with a lot of questions. I feel like the ending could have been a lot better, and it also feels a tad bit rushed as well.

O2D I'm going to assume this is the first movie about werewolves and if it is, I think I finally understand why every werewolf movie has gypsies in it(I don't think Werewolf In A Girls Dormitory did). Although this is a good movie, there are a few things I don't get. Why does the werewolf who bites Larry just look like a regular wolf? They did the same thing in The Werewolf Of Washington and it just doesn't make any sense. The other thing is that the gypsies all ran out of town but the old lady mysteriously shows up in the woods to find Larry. It's a bit confusing. There are some other minor issues but they don't really affect the movie. Surprisingly, this may be the creepiest Lon Chaney ever was. He manages to pick up an engaged woman using extremely creepy lines that would have made anyone else call the police. Not bad for an 80 year old movie. Just make sure you watch this before you watch Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, I didn't.

Ghost196311 'The Wolf Man' falls far behind the others of its kind (such as 'Dracula', 'Frankenstein'), and while it has passed the test of time along with the others, it is one of the less iconic of the Universal Monsters. There is no doubting, however, that 'The Wolf Man' is still very much enjoyable and is good in its own way. While Lon Chaney Jr. gives a good performance, the characters are much less relatable, but this is still a good movie.
