Writer-director Sean Ellis revisits the werewolf legend as a fogbound descent into Victorian Gothic in Eight for Silver. Led by Boyd Holbrook as a pathologist in the late 1800s who knows a thing or two about nightmarish curses, stalking lycanthropic beasts and family tragedy, the film is more suspenseful than scary, higher on sustained atmosphere than well-rounded characters.
But it moves along at a stately pace and remains involving, driven by eerie ambient music, soupy chiaroscuro visuals and sporadic bursts of blood, gore and body horror.
It won’t disturb Lon Chaney Jr. in his grave, but still offers meat for genre fans to chew on. Of all the classic Universal monster movies, 1941's The Wolf Man possibly ranks up there with Dracula as.
