Wolf (1994)
While driving through Vermont, New England, the middle age chief editor Will Randall hits a wolf with his car. He stops the car to drag the animal out of the road, but the wolf is alive and bites his hand. He goes to the doctor, takes a rabies vaccine and the doctor releases him. Will is under stress in his job since the publishing house where he works has been bought by the tough millionaire Raymond Alden and the employees are expecting downsizing. Will is supported by his wife Charlotte Randall and his colleague and assistant Stewart Swinton. Raymond invites Will to a party at his manor and he offers an unwanted job position in Eastern Europe to him and he learns that he had been betrayed by Stewart, who will occupy his position in the publishing house. Will also meets Raymond's rebel daughter Laura Alden. On the next morning, Will Randall goes to his work and learns that he has acute senses and he feels more competitive and decided to fight for his job. Further he discovers that Charlotte is cheating on him with Stewart and that Laura and he are in love with each other. But Will Randall is becoming a wolf and his transformation completely changes his life.

A guaranteed good time for anyone looking for a different kind of horror film...
October 26, 2009
Mike Nichols' underrated 1994 hybrid not only of wolf and man, but also of satire and horror...an eccentric film that may well be regarded, decades hence, as a movie classic. [Blu-ray]

With the always edgy, slightly demonic, and predictably unpredictable Jack Nicholson as the wolf man, it actually works . . . almost.

The film isn't a waste of time, and works rather well for about two- thirds of its length as a comedy of business life. For a horror film or a serious exploration of the divided nature of modern man, you need to look elsewhere.

Nichols has allowed Wolf to evolve from a well-mounted, supernatural drama to goofy camp.

Much of Wolf can be devoured with pleasure. To be more interested in philanthropy than lycanthropy may be a fault to the good.

Monster movies are supposed to frighten the audience; this one fails utterly in that arena.
May 12, 2001
Nichols has crafted a rapturous romantic thriller with a darkly comic subtext about what kills human values.
November 16, 2014
A fine little fable of business world mores that has the gross misfortune to turn into a horror film at a time when nobody quite knew what horror was.
January 01, 2000
A sometimes shaky, always enchanting Beauty and the Beast story for grown-ups that is the very essence of smart fun -- droll, sophisticated and surprisingly, pleasingly light.
January 01, 2000
It's a wonderfully entertaining and beautifully performed film.

If he'd followed through, Mike Nichols might have made a brilliant picture -- seems he just couldn't bear to look a gift wolf in the mouth.
