Hello readers! It’s MOVIE SATURDAY! YAY. Today we are going to be looking at The Wolfman. It is to be released Feb. 12, and is a remake of the monster classic from 1941. Just by looking at the trailer, I so want to see this. I really like the fact that Anthony Hopkins is in it. Below is the synopsis found here.
Inspired by the classic Universal film that launched a legacy of horror, “The Wolfman” brings the myth of a cursed man back to its iconic origins. Oscar® winner Benicio Del Toro stars as Lawrence Talbot, a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father (Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins), Talbot sets out to find his brother… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.
Lawrence Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline (Hugo Weaving) has come to investigate.
As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself… one he never imagined existed.
I know this isn’t a Christian thinking movie like I have posted previously, but I wanted to use it to get us to think. The Bible speaks of demons just like the Wolfman.
John 10 tells us of the parable of The Good Shepard and His Sheep. Jesus says this in John 10:7-10
Therefore Jesus said again, ” Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
My questions for you today are:
Are you following the right shepherd? Do you have areas in your life where the thief can find a way in and destroy you?
Until next time readers, God Bless!
