Synopsis
The Wolf Man (1941) is the Universal horror classic you can watch online on iFILM. George Waggner directs, and Lon Chaney Jr. takes the haunted lead as Larry Talbot.
Larry comes home to the family estate in Wales after his brother dies, reuniting with his father, played by Claude Rains. One foggy night he fights off a beast attacking a young woman and gets bitten in the struggle. By morning the wound has healed clean, but a curse has taken its place: when the moon is full, Larry himself turns into a wolf man. Only the old Romani woman Maleva grasps what is happening to him, and even she cannot call it off.
This is the film that handed pop culture the silver bullet, the full-moon trigger and the verse about the man who is pure in heart. Jack Pierce's makeup and Chaney's performance reframed the werewolf not as a monster but as a doomed, pitiable man. Seventy minutes of thick fog, gothic gloom and dread, ideal for fans of vintage black-and-white horror. Stream The Wolf Man (1941) online on iFILM.
