Having seen the actual design of the wolf man itself, I'm not too enthused about this. After 40+ years, we're still waiting for someone to top An American Werewolf in London.
Oh good god! Not seen it before but holy crap that's bad. Looks like a early Victorian era vagrant. Even Carry On Screaming did better than that with OddBod and OddBod Junior.
But I agree with American Werewolf in London. Still the top of the tree, that transformation scene is still amazing.

Yeah, I can only hope that this is more of a body horror film and the hairy hobo is just one stage in his gradual transformation.

That is actually the entire film, a better paced version of it anyway.

Looks terrible. Can't beat American Werewolf in London or Lon Chaney Jr.
Agree with this and speaking of Lon Chaney Jr, i thought the 2010 remake of The Wolfman was pretty decent.

It was good and the basic concept and visual representation and direction worked quite well. The story was a little simplistic but your really there to focus on the protagonist himself. It wasn't by any means perfect but still better than a lot of recent remakes.
Have to agree. Yes it is simple, but thought it was really well shot, directed, acted and the sound design was great. I also liked the creature design. It's very much a psychological film and about internal struggle than out and out horror/werewolf. But it is called 'Wolf Man' which I think it depicts accurately.
