The Wolf Man / USA / 1941
Another classic that somehow eluded me through the years, The Wolf Man has finally fallen under my radar, and subsequently taken its rightful place among the horror films I most admire. Far from being the endless string of comical werewolf attacks I envisioned, The Wolf Man is a film about superstition, belief, and the power of the mind to influence reality. Lon Chaney’s iconic character endures because he is so much more than a guy who turns into a wolf and kills people. He is a victim of a terrible curse, an unwitting participant in a string of nefarious deeds that he would give anything to stop. The evil here is beyond anyone’s control, including Chaney’s, leading to a unique horror scenario in which even the source of the horror is terrified of what might happen next.
