Wolves of Wall Street

2002 ·1h 25m · ★ 4.5 (28)

Jeff Allen just got a new job in one of Manhattan's wealthiest brokerage firms, Wolfe Brothers. Here young, good-looking stockbrokers make a lot of money by being particularly cutthroat. Jeff finds out that the real secret to their success is an animal instinct that is turning him into a werewolf, but it may be too late for him to get out.

Why it matters

A feral blend of corporate greed and classic lycanthropy that turns Wall Street’s cutthroat culture into a literal beast.

  • An early-2000s cult curiosity that mixes stockbroker swagger with prowling werewolf menace—think Gordon Gekko meets Lon Chaney Jr.
  • Practical effects-heavy transformation scenes reveal a devotion to old-school creature design in a digital era.
  • A cautionary tale of ambition and loss of control, tapping into post-millennial anxieties about ruthless capitalism.
  • Perfect for fans of offbeat genre mashups who want their horror with a side of high finance and howling at the moon.
