I feel the classic look should be used as an "incomplete" stage of the curse nowadays. At first the change takes the wolfman form but the more times the infected person transforms the more bestial lupine form begins to take hold.
My dad n I have grown apart over the years, but we can still get along with horror movies. He grew up on the old classics and would take me to see the remakes...this is definitely a close to the heart movie for me.
I agree , the cinematography so great, I come from the north of England and it’s accurate romantic and bleak etc etc. I remember watching this original movie when I was a kid and this a perfect modern interpretation of it, the madness and cruelty of Victorian England, the obsession with medicine ( of which ( batmans Arkham asylum is based on) is all evocative and I love that. Emily Blunt is great in this she’s a great actor that fact she’s gorgeous makes it all good. H weaving as usual always great

@@primalwerewolf9356 facts bro i would rather be a werewolf and in most movies a bite from werewolf can kill a vampire like in tvd ,the originals and in underworld
The acting in this movie was phenomenal. It actually has a story outside of get bit, turn, kill people and die at the end. Del Toro and Hopkins were outstanding playing the werewolf characters.
I love this movie. So fucking underated dude. The atmosphere, character relationships, plot, effects, all were amazing. Along with a STELLAR cast it still blows my mind how this movie didn't recieve SO much more love.
Great analysis, I love your channel and videos. Another reason to his Dad being stronger is probably because his dad was bitten from the “original” werewolve.
I don't think he was really physically stronger, but instead that he had completely embraced the beast, which is symbolysed by Lawrence keeping his shirt on and John don't. But it could also be a case of experience, that was Lawrence's only third transformation, John had possibly thousands.
I enjoyed the film. The jump scares worked in that I felt the need to turn my head around in my car to make sure nobody was in the backseat. And the directors cut is even better. It is a shame that the public nor the studio gave this another chance. I would've loved to have seen Hugo weaving's version of the Wolfman.
What I still don't understand is how the detective thought Sir John wasn't a werewolf, despite how he witnessed that Lawrence was right about himself being a werewolf. He did hear the doctor say how Lawrence ranted about Sir John being a werewolf
Given there were several men stationed all over town even outside Talbot Hall I think The Inspector suspected Sir John might play a part but wasn't sure but told his men to be wary of both men sadly the police man outside the hall was found by Sir John.
This movie was solely responsible for selling me on the less anthropomorphic design of Universal's wolfman. They were able to make it look and feel just as animalistic and powerful as other interpretations.
Fun fact: Five years after this film, Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt (Lawrence Talbot and Gwen Conliffe respectively) would return to star together in the crime thriller film Sicario. Which my absolute favorite film from both of them.
I think This movie is underrated, the special effects still hold up, the story in interesting, the atmosphere is creepy, but my favorite thing is the acting, specially Anthony Hopkins, that man manages to be scarier in human form than as a Lycan. This movie is my favorite werewolf movie.
I think I know what the silver wolfs-head cane is about. In the original Wolf Man movie with Lon Chaney, the wolfman was killed by a man with a wolfs-head cane, the man beat the werewolf with the cane until it was dead. So in this movie, the cane is an homage to the original movie.
Yo Cogan, have you ever checked out the Legacy of Kain videogame series? You'd love the vampire lore in it. Further more, the whole storyline is one of the most amazing stories I've experienced that delves into time, fate and redemption. Hope you check it out and hope more that you make a video about it someday. Thank you for the content. Keep rockin man.
I want to cover video games eventually and I will definitely do legacy of kain! I havnt played it but I’ve heard about it about a lot of people have recommended it Thanks 🙏
Two video games series that would be great to cover if you're a fan if horror, The Suffering and Dead Space as the look and feel of these series are the stuff of nightmares.
This is a film that gets better the more I watch it, I do wish they'd do a sequel with the surviving Detective struggling with Lycanthropy only his victims are criminals until one gets away forcing him to face a killer as strong and as smart as he. Yes I've heard of Wolfcop but never seen it. Just incase the plots the same.
This is a really underappreciated movie. It’s sad when movies that are really good don’t get the box office claim so you never get sequels. This is definitely one that deserved more.
This is a painfully underrated movie. Having bought the special edition with the director's cut , I will tell you that it is the superior version. What would have made it even better are the extended scenes that had been cut that are in the bonus material. I especially like the puppet show scene which inexplicably is deleted from the film. Great sets and acting are only diminished slightly by what I would imagine to be some slow pacing. I also would have liked to see more time with Maleva, the Gypsy woman. I also believe that had they allowed Rick Baker to do more of the practical effects, the transformation scenes would have been amongst the best in retrospect. Had the original movie from 1941 had its plot a bit more fluffed out as they did in this movie, it to would have been better. All-in-all both of these movies are my favorite werewolf movies.
It's interesting that you bring up problems with the pacing and Rick Baker not being allowed to go full American Werewolf in London was originally supposed to happen but the studio stepped in a said keep the make up practical but the transformations will be CGI which led to tensions. Also this film was done in the Writers Strike in 2009 or 2010 and as a result of certain scenes being cut and the original script being altered the director demanded the script be fixed because the changes gave the movie a disjointed feel and as a result of their refusal the first director either left or was fired. Do yes while a good werewolf movie there was by far a better film that could have been made here.
@@donovanbradford8231 All good points and I absolutely agree with you. I wish I had the skills to make my own edit. I would have included the scene from The costume ball where the blind woman was singing some sort of Opera. I would have removed some of the dream sequences as to streamline the story a bit more. I might have also backed off a little bit on The Love story I spect between Lawrence and Gwen. Perhaps it would have been better if they just had had him meet her in the town as is done in the original film. I think making the Father the werewolf is the lesser of the two good ideas in both movies and perhaps having his father kill him in this movie would have also played better. I can imagine those scenes and I think it would have been less complicated
Hi Cogan Lollins! Recently I discovered your channel and had the chance to watch some of the content which you created in time. I have to confess that I'm quite interested, cause I really like to read about Mythological and Supernatural Beasts and look at different transpositions of them, but sadly my knowledge on this subject is not vast as yours :) I definitely like The Wolfman (2010). I think they showed the right balance between supernatural and pseudo-scientifical causes for this transformation. I really appreciated your exposition, but I think that you may have missed some details about these Werewolves. At 12:44 you said that they retain some of their supernatural powers in HUMAN FORM, such as Fast Healing and Enhanced Hearing, but also some kind of "Beast Glance", able to scare a horse and tame the guard dog, Samson. Also in the movie there is no actual clue that they keep a better sight or smell ... in truth is actually the opposite, as they show how Lawrence suffers from some grade of random hallucinations, even after his full recovery in the daytime (this reminds me a bit of the "An American Werewolf at London" and, alongside the aging and the homicide of part of his family, this thrilling flashes could also be related to the gradual loss of sanity and final self-destruction of Sir John Talbot, making this "werewolf condition" quite similar to rabies disease). More important than this, it's actually stated and shown multiple times that in human form these werewolves possess some grade of INHUMAN STRENGTH, which allows Lawrence to hold back three villagers (and short after he confess to Gwen that he feels his shoulder surprisingly stronger). The same STRENGTH possessed by his Father, who was effortlessly able to knock down Singh (the night that his brother was killed), kill Carter (the police officer of Scotland Yard), toss a wooden table through the living room, and overpower his son with his bare hands despite his old age ... Obviously all this before the major physical changes, but interestingly just the day before the full moon (as all the other signs of their condition, such as the visions and the growling of the dog), proving that their "wolf side" and all the abilities are always within them, but they are influenced by the fall and the rise of the moon (as exhibit by some transitions during the movie), reaching their peak with the complete transformation). I'm afraid that I wrote something a bit too long (but I hope not too pretentious) but I'd really appreciate it, if this comment could reach you. My Best Regards to You!
You know what. I actually really enjoyed this movie too. I'm more of a fan of the entire Lycan type but this was a great movie. It also reminded me of the old movie Wolf with Jack Nicholson. Kind of the same vibe. Still a really good movie. Sad it wasn't as widely accepted. The asylum room where he turned and slaughtered all the onlookers was GREAT 😃
Young people called it corny, I loved it as a fan of the original franchise. But idk, maybe alot of spending on great actors, I bet Del Toro would keep doing it .
13:19 maybe I can shed a little light on this for you. This movie deals a lot with the afterlife and the demonic ties that werewolves have its subtle but it's present. So, whenever they mean set him free, they mean set his soul free of the curse. Meaning Lawrence's father is dead just like Lawrence. However, unlike his father Lawrence is spending his eternity in heaven as he was a man of faith prior to being cursed. He hated his actions as a monster and was set free by someone who loved him. It's meant to be a polar opposite and touch on the old parable of the dual wolves inside us. Lawrence's father fed his black wolf, his flesh, his sinful nature, his curse, etc etc. by giving into his desires. Lawrence fought against his desires he fed the white wolf, he prayed for forgiveness etc etc. and in the end technically love one the day as his love for Gwen gave her the opportunity to set him free. Narratively it's a little played out it's a very familiar trope, but that's what it means. TLDR (In World) set him free means set his soul free from the damnation of hell forced upon him by the curse. All werewolves are damned to hell but can be "set free" by someone who loves them. There is no cure for the body but there is for the soul.
The silver tipped walking stick is a direct transplant from the old original Wolfman. In which Laurence's father kills him (in wolfman form) by beating him with it. Even had the same wolf's head motif.
It was honestly so good watching this and Daybreakers when they both came out around the same time as it was great watching a good horror movie as a kid that wasn't an old classic
It’s a shame this movie had a soft reception and fell somewhat short in the box office, as it does go back to the first werewolf movie that paved the way for so many more to come in the years followed. There were some flaws within this remake such as the CGI not being top notch, by today’s standard, and some of the pacing could’ve been more of a horror movie pace than an action movie pace. Though believe this movie may gain a cult following and an interesting piece of movie trivia; Joe Johnston wanted to do a sequel to his 2010 remake of THE WOLF MAN, with a now-cursed Inspector Abberline (Hugo Weaving) using his new werewolf abilities to finally hunt down Jack the Ripper in 1890s America.
p.p.s. Rick Baker's character was not the first to be killed, in the film, by the wolfman. Rather, it was Lawrence Talbot's "brother" that was first to buy the farm.
You've basically covered all the vampires and werewolves I've grown up on. Except "Bad Moon" (1996) & "Wolf" (1994), I know you're always looking for requests, so I hope you'll check them out and give them a shot.
An interesting fact about the Tibet feral man was a reference to The Werewolf of London because that's how the MC got infected in that film back in 1935
I love this movie and too bad that there will never be a sequel because of the ending where the inspector became the new werewolf. Even before that, in the scene in the asylum where the doctor tells the witness camera that if Lawrence was a werewolf, he was going to grow wings and he was going to fly away... giving a reference to vampires
I really enjoyed the movie and Rick Baker is a fantastic makeup artist. I think it would have been interesting seeing the makeup used in The Werewolf of London 1935 like Henry Hull.
I think love can set you free thing is one of those in 100 years some guy will gain control over his form because of his love or something, kinda like how he temporarily gained control though his love
It's said had the sequel happened, Hugo Weaving's character was going to use his werewolf abilities to try and find and stop Jack the Ripper somewhere in America.
I never listen to Reviewers. They are after all just humans with an OPINION... that's it. I LOVED this movie. Own a copy for my library and think it's very well done!
honestly, I feel like it was the boy's fault. if he had not stupidly ran off into the woods, Lawrence would never had become a werewolf in the first place.
Although I prefer the classic with Lon Chaney Jr. and Claude Rains (especially since they don’t go through the cliché of the love interest be the one that “frees him” but his father, movie writers tend to forget about family love with these kind of things), this movie both brutal and enjoyable. And the mention of Jack the Ripper is dope.
There is a book titled, The Hyde Effect, by Stephen Vance. A similar scene is made when doctors roll out a patient on a gurney into a medical theater. Pretty much the same thing happens. Moon rises, patient transforms and the observers panic and get killed. Its a fun read if you like werewolf stories. Very satisfying. I liked this movie very much. But I was disappointed in the father vs son for dominance. That wasn't satisfying. The original WOLFMAN hinted briefly on the tensions between Larry and his father, played by Claude Raines. I had hope for a different reason and something different regarding the death of the brother. I do like that the movie references the original Werewolf of London. overall the 2010 movie was entertaining. But I think it could have been better.
I heard a rumour that Paul Mauser created the very first 1889 Belgian Mauser from hearing of his cousins werewolfe encounter during a horse coach ride in the Ardennes. Lol
I love this movie. I think it will end up becoming a classic. The acting, cinematography, scenery, etc. Anthony Hopkins stole the show in this movie. in my opinion, the action scenes were second to Anthony’s charisma on the screen.
The Wolfman is a great movie and yet I wish that it had done well but it was rewritten because of The Writer's Strike and Twilight destroyed The Werewolf just like The Vampire as well as the release date getting pushed back from 2008 to 2009 to finally 2010. I love the twist with Sir John Talbot being The Werewolf who killed his oldest son Ben and cursed his youngest son Lawrence as a werewolf not to mention I love The Rated R Horror and Gore. Now Ryan Gosling I heard is going to be The Wolfman and will he do Lon Chaney Jr. proud like Benicio Del Toro did in 2010, I hope so and he seems much better than The Rock who Alex Kurtzman wanted for The Dark Universe which shows what a hack Kurtzman is being how he didn't want Dracula Untold in The Dark Universe and let Tom Cruise take control of The Mummy didn't know what he was doing. But nice video and could you do The Brendan Fraser Mummy along with The Invisible Man 2020 and yes, The Mummy 2017.
Have you thought of covering "Gingersnaps" or "Dracula Untold"? I know each isn't conventionally popular, but each has a cult following. Thank you for your channel and congratulations on it's growth. You absolutely deserve it!!❤️

An interesting fact about the Tibet feral man was a reference to The Werewolf of London because that's how the MC got infected in that film back in 1935
I love this movie and too bad that there will never be a sequel because of the ending where the inspector became the new werewolf. Even before that, in the scene in the asylum where the doctor tells the witness camera that if Lawrence was a werewolf, he was going to grow wings and he was going to fly away... giving a reference to vampires
I loved the movie to be honest. The werewolves mostly, story could have been better but I did love it. The howling they had were amazing too.
I don’t know if you do video games or not but the vampires from the game vampyr are really cool.
I was 3 when this came out, but watched it when i was 7. Thiz is the movie that got md interested in werewolf legends.
I really enjoyed the movie and Rick Baker is a fantastic makeup artist. I think it would have been interesting seeing the makeup used in The Werewolf of London 1935 like Henry Hull.
I think love can set you free thing is one of those in 100 years some guy will gain control over his form because of his love or something, kinda like how he temporarily gained control though his love
I remember reading somewhere the beast was likely a mix of a farmers hunting dogs herd protecting dogs and a wild wolf hound
This is one of my best wolf movie
It's said had the sequel happened, Hugo Weaving's character was going to use his werewolf abilities to try and find and stop Jack the Ripper somewhere in America.
When i first heard DelToro was playin the Wolf i didnt think he was the rite fit but he did great job 👏
The guy in the train played by Max von Sydow was actually the little boy from India now much older and checking on his bloodline.
I love this movie. Was great
I never listen to Reviewers. They are after all just humans with an OPINION... that's it. I LOVED this movie. Own a copy for my library and think it's very well done!
honestly, I feel like it was the boy's fault. if he had not stupidly ran off into the woods, Lawrence would never had become a werewolf in the first place.
this is one of my favorite werewolf film Love love love it.
I love this movie. The gothic feeling with the horror is perfect! :)
Wolfman 2 with inspector Abaline hunting Jack the Ripper with his new wolfman powers would’ve been dope
It was a nice base for a league of extraordinary gentlemen pt 2 we had Dracula, the mummy, and the wolf man, even dr jeckyl!
Save yourself some time and just skip to 2:32
This was such a well done movie and the look and time it took place I have it in my film collection and I like the director cut better. 📽📽📽🎬🎬📽📽
Even if they don’t do a sequel release for theaters, it would be nice to see them do maybe a sequel for a Netflix release.
5:30 makes him sound like some kind of disco-era record producer or club owner 🤔
Although I prefer the classic with Lon Chaney Jr. and Claude Rains (especially since they don’t go through the cliché of the love interest be the one that “frees him” but his father, movie writers tend to forget about family love with these kind of things), this movie both brutal and enjoyable. And the mention of Jack the Ripper is dope.
There is a book titled, The Hyde Effect, by Stephen Vance. A similar scene is made when doctors roll out a patient on a gurney into a medical theater. Pretty much the same thing happens. Moon rises, patient transforms and the observers panic and get killed. Its a fun read if you like werewolf stories. Very satisfying. I liked this movie very much. But I was disappointed in the father vs son for dominance. That wasn't satisfying. The original WOLFMAN hinted briefly on the tensions between Larry and his father, played by Claude Raines. I had hope for a different reason and something different regarding the death of the brother. I do like that the movie references the original Werewolf of London. overall the 2010 movie was entertaining. But I think it could have been better.
I’ll have to watch this one. It’d be cool to see a video on the werewolves from Dog Soldiers
Quentin Tarantino from dusk till dawn with George clooney, one of my favourite movies of all time vampires are really interesting
This movie deserves he sequel 🎥👌👌👌
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏📿
So Bela Lugosi played in a werewolf movie and Dracula? Like Michael Keaton playing Batman and The Vulture.
I loved the movie... It's in my top 10 list of werewolf movies ❤
The cane is from the original. He beat the werewolf that turned him with a very similar silver cane
They were saying that the cgi,for the werewolf wasnt accurate,i think it was spot on...
You are a genius for this
the cane is an item from the original movie serves the same role in the update
This movie is a 10/10 for me
The plot had some holes: So what? It was an Awesome flick. BTW, Inspector Abberline was the lead investigator in the Jack The Ripper cases.
I heard a rumour that Paul Mauser created the very first 1889 Belgian Mauser from hearing of his cousins werewolfe encounter during a horse coach ride in the Ardennes. Lol
If Werewolves have a primal connection to each other, and the founding wolf.
Then they were the first Titan Shifters before it became trendy.🐺🐺🐺
The cane is paying homage to the Lon Chaney Jr picture. Lawrence, while a werewolf, is killed by his father with the cane.
I love this movie. I think it will end up becoming a classic. The acting, cinematography, scenery, etc.
Anthony Hopkins stole the show in this movie. in my opinion, the action scenes were second to Anthony’s charisma on the screen.
This is my favorite werewolf movie
You should do the werewolves from the movie Wolves
The Wolfman is a great movie and yet I wish that it had done well but it was rewritten because of The Writer's Strike and Twilight destroyed The Werewolf just like The Vampire as well as the release date getting pushed back from 2008 to 2009 to finally 2010. I love the twist with Sir John Talbot being The Werewolf who killed his oldest son Ben and cursed his youngest son Lawrence as a werewolf not to mention I love The Rated R Horror and Gore. Now Ryan Gosling I heard is going to be The Wolfman and will he do Lon Chaney Jr. proud like Benicio Del Toro did in 2010, I hope so and he seems much better than The Rock who Alex Kurtzman wanted for The Dark Universe which shows what a hack Kurtzman is being how he didn't want Dracula Untold in The Dark Universe and let Tom Cruise take control of The Mummy didn't know what he was doing. But nice video and could you do The Brendan Fraser Mummy along with The Invisible Man 2020 and yes, The Mummy 2017.
I love this movie so much and I’m a vampire fan
This movie was so good. It's true horror.
Side note but I like how odin gets demoted to just "thors father" lol
Have you thought of covering "Gingersnaps" or "Dracula Untold"? I know each isn't conventionally popular, but each has a cult following. Thank you for your channel and congratulations on it's growth. You absolutely deserve it!!❤️
Hell I love both of those movies. The Ginger Snaps trilogy is truly slept on. And I actually wanted to see where Dracula Untold would go
