Before the masterclass in how not to launch your own shared universe that was 2017’s The Mummy, before even the anemic Dracula Untold (2014), Universal attempted to reheat another of their classic horror properties with 2010’s The Wolfman. And, yes, naturally it was a total stinker. That said, the little-remembered reboot is killing it on streaming right now, having hiked 21 places up the global Netflix charts today, according to Flix Patrol.
On paper, The Wolfman had a lot going for it. With Jumanji and future Captain America: The First Avenger filmmaker Joe Johnston in the director’s chair and an A-list cast headed by Benicio del Toro — an actor so naturally wolflike he might actually be a real-life lycanthrope himself — the film should’ve been a recipe for success. Unfortunately, this is one of the many occasions where a movie’s production troubles are written all over the finished product.
