Review

"In the business world Stewart is something of a bizarre jellyfish, but in full lycanthropic form, he is something of a surreal and absolutely menacing evil that Spader makes his own. "Wolf" is an underrated horror gem, one that works as social commentary and horror cinema, and it's a great piece of nineties filmmaking. Filled with an understated intellect and using the werewolf movie formula as a commentary for aging and the battle of the males in a society obsessed with power and dominance, Mike Nichols "Wolf" is one of our favorites of the genre, and a guaranteed good time for anyone looking for a different kind of horror film." - Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
