I didn’t have to read the Internet Movie Database page on Wolf Man to know co-writer-director Leigh Whannell really likes David Cronenberg’s The Fly.

Despite Christopher Abbott’s commitment, director Leigh Whannell's 'Wolf Man' update proves too slow and serious to satisfy horror fans.

Julia Garner stars as a weary wife to Christopher Abbott, who might be transforming into a savage animal, in this cabin-in-the-woods thriller.

Oregon, it can safely be said, features some of North America’s most scenic landscapes. In the tense, hard-edged horror film “Wolf Man” (Universal), however, the Beaver State’s natural beauty is contrasted with occult ugliness in a manner that only the sturdiest fans of the genre may find palatable.

If you’re going to pay money to see a movie called “Wolf Man,” you already know what you want: full moon, lots of mist, and a big, gnarly transformation scene in which a normal guy reverts to the atavistic man-beast we all know lurks within. It’s right there on the assembly instructions.

But once the movie kicks into high gear, it doesn’t find a way for all of its ideas to fit together. Amid a time of quiet conflict, Blake receives documentation that his father (Sam Jaeger) has been declared dead after being missing for a number of years and that he has inherited his estate.

Julia Garner opens up about her role in The Wolf Man, a horror-fantasy film that explores themes of grief, love, and survival through a family’s harrowing encounter with a mysterious creature.

The theatrical movie box office results for January 17, 2025 through January 19, 2025 have been released. One of Them Days premiered in the Number One spot at the box office over the weekend with $11.6 Million, on a budget of $14 Million.
