The Wolf Man Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 19, 2025
"The Wolf Man" unfolds leisurely, interspersed with creepy romantic exchanges that add a touch of drama. Nevertheless, the storytelling is decent enough to make it a watchable film.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
It finds modern sophistication and cultured intellects unprepared to deal with a threat that's already at hand, maybe even under our own skin.
Sacramento News & Review
Daniel Barnes
Ironically, The Wolf Man is stronger and creepier in the scenes without the wolf man.
Washington Star
J.W. Stepp
This vehicle features Lom Chaney, jr., as a rather pathetic, and certainly unawesomely made-up. werewolf as the Thing which severs innocents' jugular veins in the mists of English moors.
The Hollywood Reporter
THR Staff
The Wolf Man serves its horror straight. A very substantial cast undertakes to sell believably a tale of superstitious folklore.
Movie Chambers
Paul Chambers
The original and only entry in the Wolf Man series that I truly like. Lon Chaney, Jr. was born to play the troubled Larry Talbot, a guy who gets bitten by a werewolf (Bela Lugosi) and openly laments his future as the hairiest man in Europe. Nicely done.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Horror movies today rely on gore and as many jump out of your seat moments as they can throw at you. This one relies on old fashioned atmosphere and acting ability and that's all it really needs.
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
Most horrifying is the potential inability to sway our own innately darker tendencies.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
Chaney may appear to have had a bad run-in with a hair dryer, but he's still the definitive villain as tragic hero.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A film of sometimes uncertain greatness that is nonetheless the most entertaining and effective Universal monster movie since Bride of Frankenstein.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
The Wolf Man's tantamount pleasures are its economy and speed, its silvery manipulations of light and shadow, and the panache with which the lighting, the story, and the rich cast navigate [its] tone.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
A feast of horror, for animals of all kinds.
Variety
Variety Staff
The Wolf Man is a compactly-knit tale of its kind, with good direction and performances by an above par assemblage of players, but dubious entertainment.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A stodgy Universal thriller from 1941, redeemed by a name-heavy cast and by Lon Chaney Jr.'s lumbering, affable performance in the title role.
ESplatter
Steve Biodrowski
A classic despite its flaws.
Film Threat
Felix Vasquez Jr.
In spite of its age, the emotional impact, and sheer terror hasn't lost its punch with great performances, and a tragic ending.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's a good, solid film, held together by Chaney's appealing performance and great supporting players like Lugosi as Bela the gypsy who turns into a wolf.
New York Times
Theodore Strauss
Without any build-up either by the scriptwriter or director, he is sent onstage, where he, looks a lot less terrifying and not nearly as funny as Mr. Disney's big, bad wolf.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
It's not as boring as Dracula, but not nearly as inventive as, say, Bride of Frankenstein.
