1. A wonderfully campy horror film that made a star of Lon Chaney Jr. Despite its hokiness, it stills holds up.
2. Apesar de ter se transformado em um personagem trágico e fascinante nos filmes posteriores da série (com seu constante desejo de morrer), Larry Talbot é apenas um monstro convencional e nada interessante neste primeiro capítulo.
3. A classic creature feature.
4. Bad moon rising.
5. Classic horror with somewhat misused cast
6. A purely Hollywood hokum story of the lycanthropy legend, but done with much gusto and fun.
7. A feast of horror, for animals of all kinds.
8. 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.
9. Most horrifying is the potential inability to sway our own innately darker tendencies.
10. Even with a canon that includes the definitive versions of (among others) Frankenstein, Dracula and The Phantom of the Opera, this 1941 classic has always remained my favorite of the studio's prolific output.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?
A handsomely told tale with an affecting performance from Lon Chaney, Jr., The Wolf Man remains one of the classics of the Universal horror stable.
1. En underbart campig skräckfilm som gjorde en stjärna av Lon Chaney Jr. Trots sin hokiness håller den stilla. 2. Apesar de ter se transformado em um personagem trágico e fascinante nos filmes posteriores da série (com seu constante desejo de morrer), Larry Talbot é apenas um monstro convencional e nada interessante neste primeiro capítulo. 3. En klassisk varelse. 4. Dålig måne som stiger. 5. Klassisk skräck med något missbrukad kast 6. En ren Hollywood-hokum-historia om lykantropilegenden, men klar med mycket gusto och kul. 7. En fasans fest, för djur av alla slag. 8. Vargmänniskans lika nöjen är dess ekonomi och snabbhet, dess silverartade manipulationer av ljus och skugga, och den panache med vilken belysningen, berättelsen och den rika gjuten navigerar [dess] ton. 9. Mest skrämmande är den potentiella oförmågan att påverka våra egna medfödda mörkare tendenser. 10. Även med en kanon som inkluderar de definitiva versionerna av (bland andra) Frankenstein, Dracula och The Phantom of the Opera, har denna klassiker från 1941 alltid varit min favorit av studions produktiva produktion. Vad är kritikerkonsensus utifrån dessa individuella recensioner?
