"Vampires have sunk their teeth into the general public, thanks largely to the success of the "Twilight" books and films. Zombies just won't die, as filmmakers keep resurrecting the undead in countless flicks. And good ol' fashioned ghost stories, like "Paranormal Activity," never seem to disappear.
Yet, it's been many a full moon since werewolves ruled the land. That may change with the release of "The Wolfman"...The Benicio Del Toro film, perhaps the most hotly anticipated monster movie of 2010, is the latest attempt to bring attention to the mythical shape-shifter."
The Wolfman er ute på kino nå. Her er traileren:
Fra hollywoodstreams.
Her er den første, enda lengre traileren.
Men utfordrer egentlig varulvene vampyrene? The Wolfman har ikke fått topp anmeldelser, men det gjorde jo ikke akkurat Twilight heller.
CNN rapporterer at "We're officially past "New Moon" frenzy, and werewolves haven't exactly shown up in TV series, novels and other movies the same way vampirism has since "Twilight" and its cohorts left their mark", fordi "Vampires have always been more popular because there's a romantic element," Slantmagazine.com film critic Nick Schager said. "They're striking, dashing, and there are sexual components to the legend."
Et godt poeng.
Fra Twilight Secrets.
The werewolf, on the other hand, is not only plagued by a "cheesiness" factor that happens when the special effects are poor, Schager said, the myth itself is also decidedly less romantic."
Selv ikke Tayob kan redde varulven:
"Even Lautner's character, whose houndish transformation does retain some elements of the werewolf myth, turns into a wolf only when the undead come around, making him a somewhat safer choice for his love interest.
Kunne ikke la sjansen gå fra meg, nei.
Fra filmweb.no.
On top of that, the "New Moon" wolf men seem to become more attractive once their supernatural gene kicks in, and in typical werewolf genre films, "you don't get to be the good-looking, debonair hunk from 'True Blood,' " Schager said. "It's all about losing control and turning into a beast."
Jeg må si at jeg foretrekker vampyrer framfor varulver (men det kom vel ikke som noen overraskelse he he). Likevel synes jeg at det finnes noen kule varulvfilmer der ute, som det er verdt å få med seg.
Min favoritt er nok En amerikansk varulv i Paris - selv om den visstnok er en dårlig rip-off av En amerikansk varulv i London. Klipp fra filmen har jeg postet her. Den har i hvert fall gjort meg evig redd for å gå ned kjelleren på restauranter og utesteder!
