Moody Tragic Werewolf Legend - A Universal Horror Classic

Reviewed by MartinHafer 9 / 10

a monster you can really care for,...

If ever there was a "nice guy" monster, this is it. Lon Chaney, Jr. plays Larry Talbot--the son of a rich land owner (played by the great Claude Rains). Well, one day Larry is going for a walk and is just minding his own business when he's attacked by what he at first thinks is a wolf. Well, it turns out to be a werewolf and he is bitten in the process, so he is doomed to spend all the nights with full moons seeking out humans to rip to shreds. Bummer--especially since Larry is a really nice guy and you do feel very sorry for him--this is the best aspect of the story. Well, our hero is indeed a sweet guy, though pretty dumb, as it never occurs to him that he COULD be locked in a padded cell and kept there whenever there's a full moon. Instead, he again and again roams the countryside ripping apart innocent folks until eventually he is killed by Talbot's nice father--who only then realizes the immensity of his deed. I think he should have stopped feeling so bad about killing the young man, as Larry is back in a couple more films as apparently it's tough to kill a werewolf EVEN IF YOU ARE USING SILVER! So, Claude, relax,...you didn't really kill him. At least not permanently!
