The Wolflman

"Even a man who is pure at heart and says's his prayers at night, may become a Wolf, when the Wolf bane blooms, and the Autumn moon shines bright". Man fears none other than the foul creature which roams the moonlit trees.

Lawrence Talbot returns to Blackmoor upon the plead of his brother's fiancee Gwen Conlife. His brother Ben has been missing for weeks now and Gwen fears for the worse. Truth unfolds for Ben's body to be found in a ditch, mangled and torn by an unknown beast. Lawrence decides to stay at his ancestral home to uncover his death.

He discovers a sickly truth of his traumatic childhood and death of his beloved mother. His father, Sir John Talbot, is none other than the cold murderer and wolfman of the town. Sadly for Lawrence, he too becomes infected by the beast and turns into a werewolf himself. Will be inherit his father madness or seeks vengeance for his mother and brother?

Rating: 2 out of 5 fairy clouds. The story is slow and dark, failing to capture my interests barely 15 minutes into the movie. Highly predictable plot and commercial shots. A disappointed and not worth the time or money to watch.
