The Wolf Man

[Ranger REG]

I hope your wrong the last good werewolf film was American Werewolf in London, I would like to see another one.

Apparently you missed or chose to ignore the sequel, American Werewolf in Paris.

*Mumbles to self about how they should make a Werewolf: The Forsaken movie*

I prefer The Apocalypse version. For effect, they should talk to Peter Jackson and Weta Digital. A good werewolf film is where the true hybrid is a half-upright man, half-wolf (mainly the head of a wolf).

I agree on some of the "good" werewolf movies others have posted----I also liked the first Howling

I vaguely remember a werewolf themed tv series---at the time i liked it, but i dont remember much of it---the werewolves seemed to have a "gorrila-like" stance (at least that is how i remember it---it was a long time ago)

Werewolf One of Fox TV's early shows and one of many brutally canceled by a network that seems to enjoy murdering good TV.

Half a century ago gluing short and curlies on the face and slapping fake teeth in may have been enough for a werewolf, but I expect more out of a werewollf movie nowadays. A movie maker does not have to go CG, since there is a huge array of practical effects to use, but IMHO, Hypertrichosis and bad teeth don't cut it.

I definitely know that CGI isn't good enough yet. It's nearly there, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to be good enough. (Isn't there a term for this - it is so close to the "real thing" that the differences really makes it look awkard, while a little less realistic or a little more would make it acceptable... )

What practical effects did you have in mind?

What practical effects did you have in mind?

Watch the first Underworld film, aside from the transformation scenes where there was a little CGI work to smooth things out it was all live. The Lycan "giant deathbeast" forms were done with makeup, suits, and some leg extending prosthesis. The heads were the most difficult part and were animatronic.

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a guy in make-up to a CG or animatronic werewolf. That isn't too say that there haven't been good inhuman werewolves, The Howling and Dog Soldiers come to mind, but a human being can act and bring some personality to the monster in a way that a puppet or CG can't. Inhuman werewolves are just sort of generic.

I do think it's kind of funny that people want CG werewolves, but nobody says, "A guy in make-up to play Frankenstein's Monster? That's stupid! He should be CG!"
