Well lets be fair this whole film is one epic plot hole, but my major one is this:
Hopkins mentions that his Indian butler locks him before full moon and that one time he couldn't he ran around free and killed his wife......and yet he happily locks himself from the INSIDE later on when Deltorro changes in to the werewolf for the first time in the crypt.....
anyway I rated this 2/10.
It is fun and games until someone gets caught. Then it's rape.
Locked himself in, but didn't lock his son in....see....see?
Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...share
His father explained quite clearly why he didn't lock himself in that night and why Singh could not lock him in either. Is it really that hard to follow? It's not like the reason was cryptic or concealed...he told Lawrence (and us, effectively) what happened.
Perhaps the film studio was right to cut the character building scenes and dialogue down for idiots in the audience.
"Your petty vengeance fetish will have to do withOUT Mr. Groin!"
The OP is so broke he can't even afford to pay attention.
So long and thanks for all the fish!
Wait, he explained it? What did he give as the reason?
It makes sense that Singh locked him in but what does locking himself in accomplish? Do werewolves "turn" if they stay indoors out of the moon's rays?
If yes, he wouldn't need to be locked in. If no, locking himself in would do no good as he would turn and open the lock and get out.
Or do you think that werewolves aren't smart enough to figure out how to open a lock? If that is the case then he wouldn't have needed Singh to lock him in, he could have done it himself. For that matter, he wouldn't have needed to lock himself in at all, just stay away from windows.
I meant to ask "do werewolves not turn if they stay out of direct moonlight?
shareI've seen that most fiction had them turn regardless
shareIf the moon is full, the moon is full. Period. They turn. If you are interested in werewolf movies, you might want to learn something about the occult, or is that just asking too much?

Yes, the Chaney version is a classic. What I liked about the remake is that it had the wolf running on two legs and on four. In the occult tradition a werewolf is a person who literally becomes a wolf, not an anthromorphic version of a wolf. Chaney didn't have the tech to pull that off. We do, today, but the studio wanted to make an homage to the Universal version, so they kept the look of the beast the same--but one as fleet on all fours as it was on two paws.
shareI don't like this movie that much but I don't agree that what the TC says makes it bad. Frankly I somewhat enjoy this movie but it is very silly and not that scary. The scenes of the villagers falling into their own traps and the putting Larry on display in a mental institution are too silly to take seriously. They seem like things that would be in a parody. I remember when I went to go see this with a friend of mine when it came out all those years ago. At that scene in the mental institution, my friend turned to me and said, "This isn't going to go over well is it?" I laughed and said, "No it isn't."
shareYes, you are correct. Good call
shareThe movie had me until the werewolf brawl at the end, followed by Del Toro's Lawrence Talbot dying.
