From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.
Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).
But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

From our editor, who attended the media screening of Wolf Man:
“I’m a massive Julia Garner fan, so I was really interested to see her in a horror film. Luckily, she didn’t disappoint. I love a good horror film, and this one was definitely one of the most enjoyable ones I’ve recently watched.
While I thought the plot was original, I have to be honest and say that I made a couple of predictions throughout the film that turned out to be accurate, however, this did not detract from the quality of the movie. The cinematography is incredible, with the most breath-taking aerial views and gorgeous natural landscapes on display throughout the film.
The score was magnificent, and my movie partner and I actually sat watching the credits at the end to find out who the composer was, as we were that impressed with the film’s sound.
I really enjoyed the performances by the cast, and the way each one of them embodies their character convincingly. I love the thriller / horror genre and this film fit right in, though I will say that there are quite a few gory scenes that aren’t suitable for sensitive viewers.
I’d recommend watching this at the cinema to really appreciate the outdoor scenery.”
