Movie Description
When a mild-mannered, middle-aged book editor gets bitten by a wolf, it gives him a shot of confidence over younger colleagues, highly tuned senses and a few new lycanthropic appetites. Like a clever "New Yorker" cartoon, this urbane horror film satirizes middle age in New York's cutthroat social and business worlds.
Synopsis
The deposed editor-in-chief of an old, distinguished publishing firm, recently taken over by a multi-millionaire, corporate raider, is bitten by a wolf on a lonely stretch of road in Vermont the night of a full moon. As he slowly watches himself metamorphose into something lupine, he discovers that he has been betrayed by his most promising protege, his wife of 16 years has been unfaithful, and that he has fallen in love with the raider's beautiful, headstrong daughter. What follows is a series of grisly events that reaches a bloody and horrifying climax.
Industry Reviews
"...Nicholson is amazing, finding humor and poignancy....A rapturous romantic thriller with a darkly comic subtext..."
Rolling Stone - p.97-8 - Peter Travers (07/14/1994)
"...The fun is waiting for the moment when the eyes glint, the teeth are bared, and Wolfman Jack makes his welcome entrance..."
Sight and Sound - p.52 - Philip Kemp (09/01/1994)
"...Coaxes satirical bite from the trio of Nicholson, [Spader and Pfeiffer]..."
Premiere - p.90 - Josh Rottenberg (02/01/1995)
"...Nicholson is thoroughly sympathetic...[and] even more compelling after a wolf bite brings out the animal instincts..."
Entertainment Weekly - pp.68-9 - Michael Sauter (01/13/1995)
"...An intriguing thriller...Enjoyable for its humor and sophistication..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy (06/13/1994)

USA Today - Mike Clark (06/17/1994)
"...Invariably an actor to watch, Nicholson is adept and surprisingly low-key and subtle in many of the scenes....Nicholson and Pfeiffer play nicely together..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (06/17/1994)
"...The tone of the movie is steadfastly smart and literate....The movie looks great..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (06/17/1994)
