With Halloween creeping up on us we figure it's as good of a time as any to take a fond look back at some AWFULLY GOOD MOVIES from the horror genre, and this week we're howling over Joe Johnston's 2010 remake of the 1941 Universal Classic THE WOLFMAN. And while there are a lot of differing opinions on this Benicio Del Toro-starring take on the classic tale, I tend to roll with the opinion of my main man The Arrow who found it to be "a moody, well shot & acted, hairy dose of gory fun" in his review HERE.

Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. His father sent him from the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor to an insane asylum, then he goes to America. When his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns to his father's estate to learn that his brother's mauled body has been found. Reunited with his estranged father, Lawrence sets out to find his brother's killer… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Someone or something with brute strength and insatiable blood lust has been killing the villagers, and a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline comes to investigate.

If you've never taken the time to peep THE WOLFMAN, our latest AWFULLY GOOD MOVIES OCTOBER MONSTER MASH below will be a good primer for ya, and maybe you'll wanna give this one a shot when you're in the mood for some hairy fun to get into the Halloween spirit.
