We couldn’t have thought of a better person to play a werewolf. Benicio del Toro is scary looking as it is, and so much more so when you add some CGI to the mix. We love the freaky bone cracking and eye-popping that signals his change from man into beast, as well as the eerie Victorian countryside that he prowls in the dead of night, but sadly this doesn’t make the movie any less vapid.But I’m getting ahead of myself… In case you didn’t gather, the story is about a man who becomes a werewolf – and not in the fun, Michael J Fox Teen Wolf kind of way. No, unfortunately Benicio becomes more of a Michael Jackson Thriller caricature. We had really hoped for better, but this wannabe horror just disintegrates into a gross, cheesy mess. Sad.
Rating: 3 outta 5
