Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Sophisticated to a point, this well-executed wolf-man tale works due to its clever setting and enormous star power. We all know Jack Nicholson can go nuts, but the script makes his character aware of his changes, sometimes for the better, early on. The setting, a publishing house in the middle of a takeover, gives the characters dramatic life before the horror elements kicks in. A senior editor about to get the boot, Nicholson's character becomes a new man after being bitten by a wolf. He takes on challenges at work, lives a more robust life, and attracts a new love. But will his newfound energy consume him? Director Mike Nichols keeps the action alive in the first half, but the film peters out at the end with cheap theatrics and the overuse of slow motion. Michelle Pfeiffer has little to do as simply the love interest with a grittier than average personality. Better is James Spader as a smarmy colleague. Nicholson is in fine form, relying on his keen gift to spark interest (a twitch of the head, a look in the eyes), instead of heavy doses of movie makeup. Giuseppe Rotunno's sweeping camerawork sets the mood quite well. Easy to recommend, with the added feature it's hardly gratuitous. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - Hated it!!!
Start, middle, finish. Hated it.
Another movie where Nicolson just annoys the living *&^%& out of me!!!
More like a werewolf movie for romantics.
Boring, dull, unmemorable and just plain annoying.
Lame script, dull special effects, boring directing.
I remember being happy when the ending credits finally rolled.
Another Jackie Boy clunker I should have had enough sense to get up walk out on.
From beginning to end, a disaster that I'd put in top twenty ... Read More
Rating:  - great and easy transaction!
Great and easy transaction--fast shipping and product arrived in great condition. I would definitely recommend this seller!
Rating: - More 'suspense' than blood
This is a movie I'd forgotten about, but thought it was worth going back to and writing a review. If you are a Jack Nicholson fan like myself, you'll want to consider adding this to your library even if you're not a horror fan. Nicholson plays editor Will Randall who gets pushed around by people and even edged out of his high position in the company by a younger man...until he's bitten by a wolf. Suddenly Randall has a wild streak and is fighting to be 'alpha male' again, though not even he is aware ... Read More
Rating:  - not a good werewolf movie
It is more of the lines a spirital werewolf movie then an regular werewolf movie. They actully don't turn into a werewolf but they act like one!
Rating: - Long live Oldman, De Niro, and Nicholson as the big three!
Following Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, and released some months before Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein, Mike Nichol's and Jack Nicholson's take on the Wolf Man legend is profound, provocative, and a whole bunch of other great adjectives. Michelle Pfeiffer is a babe, James Spader is a punk, (and memorable villain), and Nicholson is a wonderful new addition to the line-up of truly amazing Wolf-Men, the Manhattan editor with spunk (and vitality), Will Randall. Another bonus, aside from the story and its ... Read More
