the wolf man be a likable but completely unremarkable addition to the universal horror stable . with such transparent effect a pentagram scar draw on with pencil crayon and werewolf transformation that simply dissolve from a pair of bare leg to a pair of hairy one and this isn not exactly the most sophisticated movie and even for it time . it lay on the werewolf mythology pretty thickly and in particular the unconvincing dictionary definition of lycanthropy that open the movie and and the poem that several character repeat boringly throughout . there not much chemistry between the actor represent lon chaney jr. and evelyn ankers do not convince a a possible couple and and chaney and claude rain do not convince a father and son . it all very run of the mill . i think my favourite part be the completely irony free bit where a priest tell an old pagan gypsy woman represent fight superstition be as hard a fight satan himself .
