I haven’t seen it, haven’t read any reviews, haven’t read the novelization, haven’t talked to anyone who’s given any information, but I want this on the record, that I think the twist is Anthony Hopkins/Sir John Talbot is the original werewolf. ---

“She’s a werewolf, too!” WOULD have been a good twist. But no, it was not her & yes, I was right! How could people not have liked that movie!? Granted, it wasn’t “fun” and there wasn’t one lighthearted moment in the film, but it was dark & atmospheric & Gothic & gory & scary & worked for me! ---

I liked it too! It had two of my favorite actors and I loved the atmosphere. I didn’t realize the part you mentioned was supposed to be a twist though. I thought that aspect was pretty clear from the trailers… ---

I missed that. Another one is the “dog eat dog world” comment, tho I think it’s reaching to consider that “fun”. BUT I will admit the public demonstration at the asylum WAS fun!
