Wolf (1994)
Raymond Alden has a pretty but estranged daughter, Laura, who is attracted to his subordinate, Will Randall, who has recently been separated from his spouse. Will is special, in a way, because he has been bitten by a seemingly dead wolf, and finds himself energized, his senses heightened, and has acquired a thirst for blood. He consults Dr. Vijay Alezais, who gives him an amulet that will prevent him from changing into a werewolf in return for a bite - Will refuses, but accepts the amulet as a gift. Will and Laura continue to meet, while Will's rival, Stewart, who is also attracted to Laura, will force a confrontation between them, complicated by the involvement of the Police who suspect Will of killing his wife.

Much of Wolf can be devoured with pleasure. To be more interested in philanthropy than lycanthropy may be a fault to the good.

A fine little fable of business world mores that has the gross misfortune to turn into a horror film at a time when nobody quite knew what horror was.

A sometimes shaky, always enchanting Beauty and the Beast story for grown-ups that is the very essence of smart fun -- droll, sophisticated and surprisingly, pleasingly light.

Mike Nichols' underrated 1994 hybrid not only of wolf and man, but also of satire and horror...an eccentric film that may well be regarded, decades hence, as a movie classic. [Blu-ray]

Monster movies are supposed to frighten the audience; this one fails utterly in that arena.

Nichols has crafted a rapturous romantic thriller with a darkly comic subtext about what kills human values.

It's a wonderfully entertaining and beautifully performed film.

Nichols has allowed Wolf to evolve from a well-mounted, supernatural drama to goofy camp.

The film isn't a waste of time, and works rather well for about two- thirds of its length as a comedy of business life. For a horror film or a serious exploration of the divided nature of modern man, you need to look elsewhere.

With the always edgy, slightly demonic, and predictably unpredictable Jack Nicholson as the wolf man, it actually works . . . almost.

If he'd followed through, Mike Nichols might have made a brilliant picture -- seems he just couldn't bear to look a gift wolf in the mouth.

A guaranteed good time for anyone looking for a different kind of horror film...
