The Wolf Man (Original vs Remake)

The Wolf man




Original
Remake
1941
2010
Actors: Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains & Evelyn Ankers
Actors: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins & Emily Blunt
Director: George Waggner
Director: Joe Johnston
Run Time: 1hour 10 minutes
Run Time: 1hour 43 Minutes
Acting: This version has a lot of well known actors and it shows.

Acting: This film has an all-star cast and almost guarantees it's success.
The gradual transformation of human to 
wolf man in this film was well done (for the 1940s). Atmosphere, lighting and such were the
 major effects for this film and done well.
Lighting, sets, plot, storyline & effects were all on point. This film IMO is one of the best made horror films done in the past 10+ years.


Review:
Both leading men played Lawrence Talbot in different ways but both played the part extremely well and made the part their own. The reboot kept to the original wolf man makeup look which speaks volumes. Both versions are worth seeing and I would recommend seeing both. In this reviewer's eyes there is no clear winner or looser between these two.
