The Wolfman is not a good movie

It's basically a collection of jump scares, sudden startles and violin stabs pasted together, and bolted on a woe-is-me monster plot. This film has jump scares nestled within jump scares, and apart from that, it is a pretty weak rerun of Dracula from 1992, with some added blood and guts strewn about, some fancy hallucinations and a werewolf that is about as scary as the bears on Munich's CSD. Hugo Weaving as inspector Abberline is amusing, but the namedropping just reminded me that I would rather be watching From Hell. Fair warning: People dragging their girlfriends into this movie will be punished with no less than three (!) romantic comedies.
