The Story of Wolf (1994)

In this in-depth retrospective, I tell the story behind one of the 1990's most underrated horror gems: Mike Nichol's "Wolf", a werewolf movie like you've never seen before. I dive deep into its rocky development, production, reception and legacy, while giving my own thoughts on the film. Starring: Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader and Christopher Plummer. Directed by Mike Nichols, written by Jim Harrison and Wesley Strick, and produced by Douglas Wick for Columbia Pictures.

Those fast animatronic edits in the fight are superb. Looks terrifying! When done right, puppets will always have a quality about them that cgi just can't achieve.

[@Modenut]

Nicholson as a werewolf is easily one of the most inspired castings of all time

[@ninetyZeven]

Like Anthony Hopkins as H*tler, ha ha. That's The Bunker, 1981.

[@susiecoll6206]

He is often described as lupine

[@fusionspace175]

I have a theory that Jack watched Batman Returns and saw Danny and Michelle get big playing spooky animal people, and he said hey, I wanna be a wolfman. I have absolutely no proof of this, I just want it to be true.

[@GiantBoarMonster]

Nicholson was one of my dads favorite actors. Quite a few of his movies we had, still have on VHS. How can ya not appreciate Nicholson

[@-MrFozzy-]

………why?

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

Since 1994, this has been in my top 5 werewolf movies of all time.

[@DriscolDevil]

Agreed, although we have few good ones. Ginger Snaps was pretty good too, if you haven't seen it. The werewolf stuff has so much potential for great stories, I'm surprised it hasn't taken off more.

[@carrion_man3700]

I actually adore Wolf. I think it's an imperfect classic that demands rewatching. It just has a certain quality to it that brings me back. Warts and all, Wolf is an engaging and enjoyable film.

[@vampirascoffin870]

Gary oldman - Dracula Robert de niro - Frankenstein Jack Nicholson - wolfman Kevin beacon - invisible man Arnold Vosloo - the mummy to bad we never gotten a 90s universal monster crossover it was planned but never came out sadly but I love this movie!!! great video and insight!

[@jtbcu2003]

I didn't know they were planning to do this.

[@F-Los]

The 90s version were pretty damn awesome.

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

Also John Malkovich as Jekyll and Hyde

[@chrisbullard5901]

There was the short-lived show “Wolf Lake” that seemed to get how a modern pack of werewolves would function, and of course, the 1981 film “Wolfen” is a great comparison. Having Will buy a cabin in the woods and some acreage (where he conveniently installs 8-10 foot deer fences around the perimeter) would’ve been a perfect end scene. He tells his publishing company that a condition of his remaining with the firm is that he retreats to his cabin for a week of remote work.

[@alvermette218]

I saw this in the theaters upon release and have always enjoyed it, I never understood why werewolf fans turn their backs on this. It's new approach to the werewolf myth is what makes it stand out among films like The Howling and An American Werewolf in London.

[@wstine79]

A Layton Eversaul retrospective video about WOLF is a much better Valentine's Day present than roses and chocolate.

[@LaytonEversaul]

It's also kind of/sort of a romance movie.

[@wstine79]

@@LaytonEversaul absolutely. It also reminds me of that Hammer Wolfman movie.

[@jonbourgoin182]

It'll probably take until the next major holiday that we see the next video. So basically July 4th. Maybe Memorial Day if we're lucky.

[@fusionspace175]

Wolf is a B schlock movie with an A list cast and budget. Its a fascinating artifact of the time, capitalizing on the prestige monster trend to an extent, but swerving hard away from it by not embracing the gothic period or aesthetic. It strips the myth down to the folklore roots, and manages to be more than a poor man's Jekyll and Hyde, as Jack's wolf self is more of himself, not a restrained opposite. I find it quite enjoyable, but I'd watch it in the context of its late night Showtime and Cinemax genre staple offerings, where it fits in better tonally, than the Draculas and Frankensteins it will be compared to. A fun watch overall.

[@powellp]

Great, informative video on an underrated thriller. I thought I knew most things about this film's production, but (as always) you managed to uncover a lot of new fun facts. I was always under the impression the last third was heavily reshot, but could never find a work print or information on what exactly was changed. Now I know why.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Fun Fact: Michelle Pfieffer in *"WOLF"* was voiced in Japanese by two different actresses. For the film's software edition, she was dubbed by Sumi Shimamoto (Toki from Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 film: *"Princess Mononoke").* But for its 1997 TV Asahi edition, she was dubbed by Masako Katsuki (best known as Michiru Kaiou/Sailor Neptune from the first *"Sailor Moon"* anime series from 1992-1997 and the 2nd & 3rd movie of its film trilogy.)

[@Jude107c]

I loved this movie! It also gave me the notion that if Jack Nicholson was 40 years younger, he could’ve played Wolverine in the X-Men

[@jeanemlicar]

Great minds think alike for I was just about to say the same thing.

[@peabee4758]

I could definitely see that.

[@mr.turner6470]

I love learning about films I’ve never heard of before, and this is one of the reasons I’m subscribed to you. Another awesome video and movie recommendation that I’m excited to check out. Thanks as always, Layton!

[@LaytonEversaul]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Casarzino]

I've always loved this movie. Even though it's not really scary, it has great performances and characters, and it's just really enjoyable to watch. Some of the dialogue is excellent, the score is fantastic. My favorite scene is Nicholson's visit to the mystical 'doctor'. The fact alone that Nicholson approached Kubrick to direct this shows how much he believed in the project, but of course it was always going to be unlikely a perfectionist auteur like him would let himself be hired for a project that wasn't his own.

[@BraxtonWages]

I remember when Columbia Pictures videos had that pan and scan feature which all their movies in 1994-1996 had and it was jarring!

[@DapperManDan]

I have been a fan of this movie since it was released! I was 15 years old when it hit theatres and it was part of my traditional Last Day of School movie trip, in fact that year I watched it back to back with Speed.... and a few weeks later my cousin and I hit a up a theatre that had a weekend Triple Feature deal where it played with The Crow and The Shadow. Jack Nicholson is my all time favorite actor... and has been since I saw him as The Joker in Batman in 1989. So when I saw the trailer for Wolf and saw he was going to play a werewolf I knew I had to see this movie opening day. Too this day I still watch Wolf at least once or twice a year, typically around Halloween as it has that perfect Fall Horror movie vibe. I also remember seeing the episode of Siskel and Ebert where they reviewed Wolf and if I remember correctly it was split decision with Siskel liking it and it just not completely working for Ebert ( i may have that backwards), but the biggest part of that review that I remember was how they both liked how the movie was shot to make it look like the character of Will Randall was in some sort of metaphorical prison and becoming a wolf was his way escaping that prison... in fact they made the analogy that even though the Bradbury Building is beautiful piece of architecture, it's layout and design is very much like an old multi story prison.

[@dylanwong6065]

While not one of the best, Wolf (1994) is a fun awesome entertaining werewolf film. In my opinion, Wolf (1994) is my seventh favorite modern monster film after Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Mummy (1999), The Invisible Man (2020), Van Helsing, The Mummy Returns, and Hollow Man.

[@Technique1995]

I love this film. It has great atmospherics, music. And Jack Nicholson is born to play a warewolf.

[@EmlynBoyle]

I saw this when it was released, and only appreciated the horror/werewolf aspects. 30 years later, I appreciate the social satire elements (which went over my teenage head). It's never quite an easy mix, but is definitely unique. Jack Nicholson was inspired casting, as is James Spader as another sleazeball of a character. Spader is also sinister asf when he starts to wolf out. It's also weirdly, a superhero origin story? Spider-Man...but with a wolf instead of spider. Another terrific video from you sir!

[@burresseffects]

Great video, Layton. The way you used the term "Oscar nod" made me google the term, and I'm fascinated by it since it doesn't appear to actually mean an Oscar nomination or a win. Instead it's some kind of ominous "gesture" by the Academy, and I'm wondering what the hell that even means. Who's watching for these nods? How does anyone know these nods are even happening?

[@karlj.claridge7949]

It's long since been a particular favourite of mine. Definitely a movie with a great many "hidden gems" within, waiting to be discovered, and rediscovered again and again...

[@mediocreMorpheus7795]

Wolf was always one of my favorite Werewolf movies, despite a lot critics claiming it isn't very good.

[@brianmcwhorter2867]

Easily in my top 3 werewolf movies of all time.

[@jonathanaldecoa1099]

I wanted to like this film when I originally saw it back in the day on its original release. I’ll give it another watch. Informative video.

[@CrashHell]

This was a great movie experience. I remember seeing this at the Sacramento Drive-in, watching it outside in lawn chairs under a half-moon sky. So stoked for Nicholson to wolf out and beat Spader, and Michelle was so damn hot! Always a fond memory I hold on to for decades.

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

Criminally underrated Werewolf film. Full of class & atmosphere

[@CardanoWEEDStakePool]

Awesome video! As always

[@hajaklin]

One of my favorite movies. It is a recipe in how to make an excellent movie, the magic of movie making, screenplay, directing, acting, and the ways many scenes are shot.. It really is a must be movie in an education to make or see how and what makes movie making an art. And mystic, romantic, mixed with ordinary striving life.

[@derekmurrey9655]

I remember being equally interested in and terrified of this movie as a young 7 year old snot nose kid. Wound up rewatching it several years back and really enjoyed it. Something about the subtlety of Will's transformation into the wolf that I think deserves a lot of praise.

[@ohhkayy0919]

Man....Ennio Morricone's music MADE this movie.. absolutely perfect..Williams would have made it too blockbuster movie-ish

[@leamanc]

This is the only movie I ever walked out on. Maybe I should give it another shot.

[@LaytonEversaul]

It has a mixed reputation, so that's not surprising.

[@moviesbye9294]

That says everything we need to know about you.

[@kevinoconnor4102]

Went to see this in my local cinema when it was released. There was hardly anyone at it.

[@enigma7784]

This is a genius for me for the werewolf genre, I first saw it when I 10 and I classed it in the same league as Dog Soldiers and American werewolf in london but after watching it for the first time in 7 years There were themes in the film that exploited my life with an arched back and receding hairline already balding at the back and front and struggle with pancreas and bowel problems as well as a chronic anxiety disorder and depression, Wolf would be to me if offered I remember thinking to myself is something I'd take in a heartbeat and reclaim if only for a short while what it means to be 31 and in perfect health as well as a confident extrovert genius haha so it's a thought provoking classic rewatch it when you get older then you will love it more 💯

[@Skitguy287]

Every time I’ve had a PB sandwich and a glass of milk, I think of Nicholson since seeing this as a kid

[@MykeHavoc]

Excellent video! Just a small correction: I bought a bare-bones Blu-ray of Wolf around 2010. It was in a two-pack with Coppola's Dracula and later a three-pack with Brenaugh's Frankenstein.

[@Sobersasquatch]

Fascinating. Thank you.

[@gamersilviogg9664]

Wow amazig so happy you did this one. One of my favorites , seen it so many times.

[@soondartube]

Terrific video though, one of my fav movies. I think its worth mentioning that Silence of the Lambs winning best picture opened the door for these high brow horrors in the early 90s. Bram Stoker's Dracula, Interview with the Vampire and this.

[@LaytonEversaul]

Good point!

[@michaelroberts1415]

Wolf was a great movie for it’s time

[@ryandeffley7652]

I've never been able to get over Spader's character in this. Stewart not only tries to steal Will's job but also sleeps with his wife. This is something you wouldn't wish on anyone, and the guy was doing it to his mentor and best friend. Few characters have been more despicable.

[@seanclay7121]

I just remember my Pops saying, "Nicholson is a werewolf? It's about time." There was no way we weren't going to enjoy that movie.

[@AndyMFX505]

The animatronic wolf versions of Nicholson and Spader were also done by ADI as well. Production approached Rick at first but turned it down when he was busy with a Sylvester Stallone movie that never got made and hired Greg Cannom to do makeup. Greg wanted to focus on the makeups while they hired ADI to do the animatronics. When Greg’s approach was deemed too much and was let go, they were able to get Rick but still had ADI commissioned to do the animatronics. Rick’s only contributions to them was final touches with the hair work to better match his makeups.

[@madjack821]

I was 12 yrs old when this came out and was thrilled when my dad let me get it on pay-per-view

[@davidge5856]

Wolf may not have achieved it's breakthrough to the cinema snobs, but for general horror fans, it's a classic! Of all the Hollywood monsters, werewolves are probably the hardest to make and/or sell. Vampires (outside of the 80's) don't tend to require too much make-up FX work, Mummy's lean towards action more than horror, and zombies are typically cheap and easy to make. Modern werewolves require more investment in either anamatronics or computer FX, and remain a hard sell after so many lackluster werewolves have muddied the waters of the sub-genre. The original Universal Wolf Man only had one solo movie (compared to Dracua, Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon, who all had multiple solo sequels). The rest of his appearances were in highly entertaining crossover "monster mash-ups" where he was usually the least monstrous, most human (or heroic) of the group. The werewolves of the 50's to the 70's were few and far between, mostly being teenaged werewolves, British or Spanish werewolves, or TV werewolves - all imitating the Lon Chaney Jr. look. Then there was a brief revival in the 80's, with The Howling, An American Werewolf in London, and Stephen King's Silver Bullet really making werewolves "cool" again, plus a short-lived (but beloved) TV series called Werewolf, where once again the titular wolfman was shown mostly as a tragic-hero character. But a slew of bad Howling sequels, a Michael J. Fox teen werewolf comedy, and some questionable werewolves on series like Tales from the Darkside just as quickly made them cheesy again. So to have Wolf come out in the 90's as a fairly big "prestige" picture was pretty notable, with the only other major werewolf alternative being Bad Moon, which wasn't a bad werewolf movie, but wasn't the most technically polished film either, nor did it have a very complex story. Wolf is probably the most prestigious werewolf film of the lot however; arguably the best acted, certainly the most complex werewolf film outside of An American Werewolf in London and/or Silver Bullet, and as a throwback to the Lon Chaney Jr. look, it served as an homage as well. Just like there are "slow zombie" and "fast zombie" fans, thanks to Rick Baker there are now "wolf-MAN" fans, and "wolf-like" fans (with most horror fans embracing both kinds). Good zombie movies are a dime a dozen now, solid vampire films are pretty easy to find, and even Frankenstein still gets reimagined every couple of years, but good werewolf movies are much harder to find, helping Wolf rise easily to one of the top slots imwo.

[@isuriadireja91]

it's a fun little 90s movie with a great cast. I've always enjoyed it despite its unevenness. i really like the blending of the creature feature stuff with all the petty office politics. oh, and Michelle Pfeiffer has never looked more beautiful than in this movie. she's just GORGEOUS and mischievously sexy in this.

[@Spiralblack3]

Woohoo Layton!!!

[@nightmareknee942]

Back when I was a kid, my friends and I wanted Jack Nicholson to play Wolverine based on this role.

[@Hewylewis]

Well, this retrospect was unexpected. :) PS: Please do Jumanji!

[@meb1982]

Hidden gem! I love that movie!

[@barryglennon1442]

Always loved this movie.

[@dvlad1627]

Love this movie

[@MrSwinefuzz]

I have always loved WOLF. It's a refreshing change of pace from the usual youth-skewed horror film, trading cheap, lurid sex and violence for classy sophistication and office backstabbing. Rather than finding horror in a young man losing self-control to insatiable sexual desire giving way to violent rage, this wolfman tale was about a late-middle aged man REGAINING CONTROL of his life and learning to enjoy the glass-is-half-full pros of a supposedly horrible curse, further illustrated by the dying old man being jealous and asking Jack to bite him!

[@raynwolfsbane2084]

One of the most underrated horror movies of the 90s.

[@robertdegraffenreid7309]

This movies was fantastic I loved it

[@Stryker20008]

I really like this movie. It doesn't rely on elaborate fx.

[@Lunchladydoyle]

I love the werewolf genre and Wolf is definitely a worthy entry. Unfortunately I think Nicholson’s romance with Pfieffer really slows the movie down whenever it gets exciting. I just thought her character was badly written and not engaging. Still it’s a real pleasure to watch the Spader and Nicholson play werewolf rivals and the overall makeup design, social commentary and acting is great. Odd that the chemistry between the lovers in the film falls flat because I enjoyed their scenes in the Witches of Eastwick.

[@LaytonEversaul]

I agree about the romance element. It seems too forced and disrupts pacing.

[@YeLizardLords]

Michelle Pfeiffer was the shawman that the old Indian spoke of when Will visited him for information. When she first meets Will he is being taken by the wolf & She offers him a drink, an elixir. Their 2nd meeting Will confessed that something is happening to him, she tells him not to look at it as a negative. she then offers a warm bed & safe place for him to sleep when the wolf begins to come, promising everything would be alright in the morning. Though the audience never sees her bittin directly as they did with Will & Stewart she is taken by the Wolf for only being close to the Wolf in spirit as the Indian said was possible, the analog of the Wolf was inside her all along.

[@lancelindqvist8848]

Awesome

[@edbeasant9494]

When you see Jack in his more advanced makeup he looks like he would've made a good wolverine lol.

[@distinguishedcatfish]

As an avid werewolf movie fanatic, I remember being a bit befuddled by the film upon my initial viewing. I was a teenager and didn’t expect the more thinking man’s monster movie approach. Even then, Nicholson’s casting felt like a serendipitous event akin to Benicio Del Toro in the 2010 Wolfman film. Rick Baker’s involvement had me on board regardless, but Pfeifer and Nicholson felt pitch-perfect against Plummer and Spader. It’s not easy to go toe to toe with someone as big as Jack Nicholson, and no one felt out of place or miscast. Well, maybe David Schwimmer.

[@betarayhill4126]

To me, these are what werewolves should be. I have always loved this movie

[@MrBracey100]

I really like this film. Its a personal fave. Its smart, sexy and horrific in all the rifht places. While not perfect both my wife and I find it to be extremely satisfying as a film.

[@jaycon3460]

[@jamesarnold2399]

Sorry y'all,but the only thing memorable about this movie was how boring it was.

[@lsimon343]

I absolutely love this movie I think it’s one of Nicholson’s best. I’ve watched it so many times and I always find something new some little detail that I’ve missed James Spader is fantastic. I’m so excited that you focused on this movie new sub here and loving your content.

[@mickeymackenna1090]

For me "Wolf" has since gained a cult following for its atmospheric cinematography, compelling narrative, and memorable characters. Whether you're a fan of horror, drama, or romance, this hidden gem is definitely worth a watch.

[@jimbowlan5804]

It’s pretty good always wanted to see Jackie as the wolf man when I first saw this in 94 it’s up there as my favorite Jackie movies

[@chrisbullard5901]

In a way, it’s a genre film that’s trying not to be genre, and that’s why it succeeds. It fits perfectly alongside “Black Rain”(1989), “The Ghost and the Darkness”(1996), and “Clear and Present Danger”(1994).

[@Rejetnicks]

I can watch Wolf over and over again. I like the characters and the strange 90s TV atmosphere.

[@gamersilviogg9664]

Same here it has an unique feel to it.

[@Rejetnicks]

@nickxero2740 idk, the aesthetic reminds me to an Law & Order episode. It´s not cinematic or epic like The shining for example. Wolf has an unique charme. Love it.

[@tryingbutfailing]

The Ennio Morricone soundtrack made it feel very 90s as well. It was perfect. Made every scene with wolfiness feel dreamlike.

[@XenoTheProducer]

Once again, the level of research and excellent presentation is the reason why I always look forward to a new upload. Great work as usual mate!

[@grahamgreene779]

Absolutely loved this movie as a kid, the "realistic" depiction of a werewolf is top tier. Always wished it got more respect than it got. Thanks for covering this film.

[@tcehaus2600]

Marketed heavily is an understatement, I forgot how big it was when it came out. Its mad that ive forgotten it over the years and how a mainstream film like that feels like its fallen into obscurity. I remember at the time that had a weird ending and parts of the it didn't match up, my way of comprehending the mixed up tone. I love your videos Layton, they take me back to a time in my life that was amazing.

[@billyziggler1862]

22:17 that image of jack nicholas as the wolf is exactly how I picture Wolverine: the Chris Claremont wolverine from the comics circa 75-90.

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

I think Claremont once said that the closest actor to Wolverine was Bob Hoskins and if you've seen his early 80s role - it kinda makes sense. He is fucking intense in Long Good Friday

[@chingochango5918]

As I always thought. Funny enough I think James Spader in this film acts like how Sabertooth should have -

[@FilmmakerJ]

My best friend picked this out for one of our movie marathons last year. And I was really impressed by how good it was and how much I enjoyed it. I think it was far better than it had any right to be, even with other contemporaries like Teen Wolf or American Werewolf in London.

[@LaytonEversaul]

They definitely tried doing something different with the genre, and it's hard to fault them for that.

[@jamesmaybrick2001]

To split hairs those two are not contemporaries with Wolf. Teen /London are with each other. Wolf is 10-15 years later. Different decades entirely. London is '81, so thats closer to 70's than Wolf is to the '80s.

[@Farmeryeti]

I was curious about this film for a while before eventually giving in and watching it last year. If I were to compare it to anythig in terms of vibes I guess it would be the werewolf equivalent of Cronenberg's The Fly - structurally they're similar enough and I thoroughly enjoy both films exploration of what beocomnig this new kind of creature would be like and taking that to its logical conclusion

[@LaytonEversaul]

Great observation!

[@wstine79]

WOLF was my second favorite of the Universal Monster 90s updates. Jack Nicholson was awesome as the Wolfman Michelle Pfeiffer was pretty good.

[@LaytonEversaul]

What was your first favorite?

[@wstine79]

​@@LaytonEversaul Bram Stoker's Dracula. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein Third, Mummy Forth, and Mary Reilly Fifth.

[@Drew791]

14:56 That is so brutal! Can you imagine being that stuntman and having your serious injury / concussion used in the final film? What a terrible idea all around to get that shot by just launching a body into stone stairs (thin protective padding be damned)!

[@moviesbye9294]

It was the stuntman's idea, he insisted on not wearing or using any wires.

[@crazyralph6386]

It would’ve been more insulting to the stuntman to NOT include it into the Final Cut of the film?

[@apebitmusic83]

Great Morricone score ❤

[@EmlynBoyle]

[@jamesmorant1406]

On my top 5 list of best werewolves movies

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

Damn with all the connection to Harrison Ford with Jim Harrison almost writing the western movie and Mike Nichols having worked with Harrison Ford before, I feel there was an opportunity that was lost there in him playing the part instead of Jack. Bear in mind the result was phenomenal but I would have loved to have seen Harrison branch out and do something like this. He would have been able to play the normal man in crisis. Even the painful part, but the monster/confident part, he would have had to do things he has not done before. But I think his "in" would been to make him more tortureous than the character that Jack played.

[@TheJohnnyCalifornia]

In some ways, Wolf was like a combination of The Nutty Professor and Spider Man if Peter Parker was a middle aged loser instead of a teenager.

[@averycummings3537]

Wolf is a great movie. I always thought so.

Thank you!

[@TedBunnie]

I love this movie! It is kind of like an elegant soap inside of a movie. It also carried classic horror themes.Very unique and creative. If it had been better thought~out, it would have been a hit. It was too vague and convoluted.

[@kelschc]

This movie remains one of my favorites. The scene where he meets the mystic stays with me to this day. “It feels good to be the Wolf? Power without guilt? Love without doubt?” In some ways it’s a coming of age story. Nicholson’s character finds his true Male confidence even in middle age. I found that inspiring. The wolf is just a symbol.

[@WhiteLightPanda]

Personally i love this movie i mean JACK as a werewolf come on...but the one hill about this movie that I'll die on is how could anyone who loves werewolf films or even (werewolf adjacent haha) not like James Spader in this...his behavior towards the end is truly of a person possessed and as a kid in 1994 I actually had a few nightmares of him like that flying out of fog and mist after me 😂
