Joe Johnston directed this Horror Drama starring: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving, Geraldine Chaplin, and Art Malik. SEE PREVIEW Rated R for bloody horror violence and gore. Running time is two hours and five minutes.
A haunted nobleman (Del Toro) is lured back to his family estate by his brother's fiancée (Blunt) after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Hopkins), he sets out to find his brother... and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.
This film was made as an homage to the original 1941 film of the same name that starred Lon Chaney, Jr. For the most part they seem to have been faithful to the original story, but with the film enhancements that are now possible you're not going to mistake this version for the original. Production values are first rate and the CGI effects are at times startling as well as horrifying. The cast is fine although Hopkins is the dominant performer. Blunt is rather wasted in her role which is a shame for an actress of her ability.If you like horror films and would like to see one that's well made as opposed to the shoddy slasher films prevalent today, you should put this on your list.
