The Wolfman (2010)
The Universal Monsters are Back!!!
I've always been a huge fan of the Universal Monsters, especially Lon Chaney Jr's "The Wolf Man". In a world where remakes are a joke, this movie is definitely worth of having the update! After seeing the new Wolfman yesterday, I am beyond satisfied. You are immediately thrown into this creepy European world, whether you want to be or not. By the time Lawrence Talbot transforms, it is beyond relentless! I've never seen a werewolf kick ass like this one does.
The old Universal Monster films were known for their epic, grand sets and groundbreaking special fx. This update takes those elements and turn up the heat. The sets, the makeup, the costuming, music, sound fx, gorgeous cinematography...all done so perfectly. I'm so happy that they kept true to the original look of the Wolf Man. They took that original look and made it into the most horrifying (and cool) werewolf I've seen on the screen to date.
The sounds of this film are insane. You literally feel like this beast is around you at all time. Universal Studios set the standard for creepy mood and atmosphere in horror movies...even to a stereotypical degree. They take this stereotype and turn it into an all too real (and all too creepy) world of our own.
I cannot wait to see it again in theaters and I cannot wait for the DVD. I'm dying to see the behind-the-scenes for this.
I cannot stress more to you fellow monster movie lovers that this is a must see film. There was obviously a lot of love put into this movie and it shows. Let's support the Universal Monsters and keep their legacy alive.
Winterbeast (1992)
This movie is the worst movie...ever!
This movie has opened my eyes to how horrible a movie can be. I thought I found the worst movie ever so many times. Then my sophomore year of college I saw this thing...I can't explain how much I enjoyed it's horrible nature. It makes no sense, the villain is a gay Jewish guy, they all wear flannels, the acting is so bad, there is no plot, the bad guys are terrible claymation products, we don't even understand who actually IS the Winterbeast...it's just bad!!!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!
Can't say I didn't warn you however.
