I thought this film was very well done and a stronger story than the original. It's portrayal of late 19th century England was perfection. The main and supporting characters were played very well and although the plot was predictable, it had enough new twists to make it exciting. I found the attraction between the wolman and his brother's fiance a believable consequence of their mutual desire to escape from their dark and dreary existence. Anthony Hopkins, as the father with the shocking history, played the strongest character and added new drama to this gorey tale. Anyone who enjoys seeing a classic horror movie with enough cg to keep it exciting should see this film! Highly recommended for the genre!
