The Wolf Man 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras
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
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.
