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 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.
