Wolfman, The

An ominous, somber, eerie atmosphere and striking cinematography drench this graphically violent, intense remake of the classic 1941 Lon Chaney thriller in which a brooding New York City actor (Benicio Del Toro) returns home to the dilapidated Blackmoor estate of his widowed father (Anthony Hopkins), who lives with his longtime servant (Art Malik), in England in 1891 after his estranged brother disappears, and when his brother is found disemboweled and he promises his late brother's comely fiancée (Emily Blunt) that he will find his killer, he becomes the victim of a werewolf while hunting the animal with gypsies and is in turned hunted by villagers and a tenacious Scotland Yard inspector (Hugo Weaving) when the lycanthropy curse reveals itself during a full moon.
