Rarely do pure-bred patriotic American films come along anymore. The current military flicks are usually filled with destructive characters, government conspiracies, and the horrors of war—elements of a layered, involving anti-war film.

The Real Wolfman
Man has not always been at the top of the food chain. Only in the last two centuries did our ingenuity give us the tools to overcome the world’s top predators.

The Wolfman
While some werewolf movies act like they have the authority to summon a full moon at their whim, The Wolfman actually allows such phenomena to happen at their natural time, bothering to fill the weeks in between with plausible plot developments.
If the body count of The Wolfman doesn’t break 100, it’s got to be close, especially if you count each of the pieces most of the bodies wind up in. Think When Animals Attack on steroids. Then again, I doubt lupine predation was ever a tidy affair.
