The Wolfman
Lawrence Talbot, an American man on a visit to Victorian London to make amends with his estranged father, gets bitten by a werewolf and, after a moonlight transformation, leaves him with a savage hunger for flesh.
Critics Sentiment
Lawrence subjected to treatments at Lambeth Hospital
Lawrence and Sir John transform and fight at Talbot Hall
The film peaks with the highly praised asylum sequence but crashes during the climactic werewolf battle that critics found ridiculous and CGI-heavy
The Wolfman starts strong with atmospheric Victorian Gothic elements and builds effectively through the first half. The asylum sequence represents a creative high point that critics consistently praised. However, the film stumbles in its final act with poor CGI effects and a predictable climax, though the ending provides some emotional resonance.
