The Wolf Man 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman October 24, 2021

Universal and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for the legendary 1941 Horror film 'The Wolf Man.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the wide release, which is at time of writing only available as part of the four-film UHD Classic Monsters Collection with 'Dracula,' 'The Invisible Man,' and 'Frankenstein'. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

The Wolf Man 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  3.5 of 5

Universal's matte SteelBook follows in the film's footsteps as a black-and-white presentation. Chaney Jr.'s wolf form faces forward on the front, emerging from some light fog below. His hands are grasping around a crooked tree branch and a full moon lingers top right. The rear panel depicts the same character, hunched down a bit, wandering through a foggy locale. A horse and buggy appear behind him. Small studio and legalese appears bottom left in white and a model number bottom right, also in white. The spine is black with the film's title in white, center. A Universal logo appears at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features a key scene with Sir John raising his cane (left) against The Wolf Man, who is carrying Gwen (right). Fog and a couple of trees fill the background.

The Wolf Man 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

This is a handsome SteelBook. The black-and-white design is genius. The UHD inside is spectacular and this whole package comes very highly recommended.
