i agree sir, old school Fx are way better and realistic. besides, the howling reborn didn’t have not even one transformation sequence. every werewolf movie has to have a transformation sequence.

Comment on Full Moon Features: Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman, two years later by Craig J. Clark

I don't know whether The Wolfman will ever develop an American Werewolf-style cult, but I do hope the version that lives on is Joe Johnston's cut, which is superior to the one released to theaters in every way.

A Bram Stoker’s Dracula where the count took his wolf form for more than one scene would have also been nice.

in an era of twilight waxed chested werewolves and Hostile, torture porn movies make big box office hits, the Wolfman had a hard time finding a happy audience. I think the new werewolf fan, who is into twilight hated the feral, monstrous wolfman and had issues with the graphic violence and gore. In contrast the fans of the very popular torture porn flicks, seemed to feel there wasn’t enough gore and violence. The wolfman seemed to have a cult following but had a hard time connecting with today’s audiences. Lets face it folks the modern Werewolf has been tamed and it seems like people didn’t know how to handle the return of the werewolf as a tragic monster rather than a brooding love sick romantic figure.

I for one loved the movie, i am a fan of the original and was originally very cautiously optimistic about the remake. I found the film refreshing in an era of the tamed loved sick (neutered werewolf) a brutal monster flick returned the wolfman to a place of dark bestial horror. I think the wolfman is a cult film but failed the expectations of the studio, which hoped for a box office smash. Monster movie have always been looked down upon by critics at large and if we look at the wolfman for a niche audience i think it could be appreciated. A great example is American Werewolf In London, which had initially be panned by critics due to the introduction of humor into horror. The movie now is appreciated by many and considered a cult classic. I hope that the wolfman will one day be considered the same and i think a loyal cult following is better than being part of a passing trend. I know the twilight fans say they love werewolves but will they still love the franchise in 10 years? I would take a small but loyal cult following any day.

i was happy to see the return of the classic Gothic horror story and a werewolf with some serious bite.
When i saw it in theaters, I was so happy with it. I know the film struggled with rewrites, delays and budget cuts but i felt the final product was still well done. The makeup was solid, the set design and cinematography was fantastic.
what can i say i like my werewolves tragic, with practical makeup effects and as what they originally depicted as monsters

It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t process in Hollywood. Too many times film executives meddle a movie to death, impeding the artists from doing what they need to do. At the same time, there are some filmmakers that never listen to execs (I see you, Shyamalan) and end up making crap because they can’t accept ‘no’ for an answer.

I wish the Wolfman would have been what I wanted it to be: The Bram Stoker’s Dracula of Werewolf films. But instead it was just… very meh.

Comment on Has fan-driven werewolf film “Freeborn” been resurrected? by Anthony Brownrigg

I quite agree.. there is a lot of blood in this. We expect this film to get an R for violence.. that help? While its a drama, its far from a teen romance.

I don’t know if we need yet another Twilight/Vampire Diaries/ romance/drama psuedo horror film. That particular segment of the genre seems rather full at the moment.

From Anthony Brownrigg, The creator and director of the Freeborn Project,

Who whoa.. Okay.. I’ve just heard that pack members are flaming folks here? What? noooooo.. no no no say its not true… I would like to issue an apology if it is from me to the owners, and moderators and individuals on this board. Werewolves are werewolves and we all love em.. And there’s been a lot .. I mean a LOT of speculation as to ‘what’ freeborn actually IS… whether its a horror film or a furry film.
Thankfully,

I have just posted a video on the freeborn youtube site that takes on that very topic.. A lot of opinions have been based on the ‘teaser trailer’ done in 2005. THAT is explained in this too.

The original community who gave input on Freeborn were all die-hard werewolf fans. But over the years, it’s devolved into more of like a furry-werewolf fan hybrid…thing. It’s like its own trope born and nurtured on Deviantart.
