Unfortunately it's a steaming pile of excrement. The only thing the film and book have in common is the title.

And in the book, the wolfen's child-mimicking cry is more a case merely of the woman thinking that its cry sounded like a child's rather than truly sounding like it, as evinced by the man's dismissive attitude. In the movie, conversely, both persons are fooled, and the cry as heard by viewers does indeed sound like a child's.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-85595659220751028662020-12-10T17:35:56.020+00:002020-12-10T17:35:56.020+00:00To be fair, if I remember right, the trick of mimi...To be fair, if I remember right, the trick of mimicking a child's cry to attract humans is used by the Wolfen in the novel at least once, in chapter 3. Whether this is effective is left kind of ambiguous: the female cop is fooled, but the male cop isn't. He claims it sounded nothing like a real child.<br /><br />I haven't watched the film, so, I wouldn't be able to compare how this is portrayed there. From what you say, it does seem like the film doesn't do the novel justice. I agree that a remake that showcases the Wolfen in all their cryptozoological creepiness would be awesome. Let's hope this happens someday, as you say, the book is truly amazing!Luciano N.
