With his marriage fraying, Blake persuades his wife Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit his remote childhood home in rural Oregon. As they arrive at the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. But as the night stretches on, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable.
"Wolf Man is a film that risked debuting in theaters as outdated. After all, there are countless stories on screen involving the creature, which is part of the imagination of cultures around the world. However, this version boasts a name behind it that makes a difference: Leigh Whannell. The Australian director and screenwriter, who previously nailed it with the excellent The Invisible Man, repeats some of his successes in this 2025 feature. Wolf Man is far from being just the story of a man turning into a wolf; it is also a film that examines human and familial relationships, and even the relationship with one’s own body. However, it’s worth noting that while the film about the invisible man works on all levels, Wolf Man only works in parts. The family drama and character development are disastrous, failing to create any connection with the audience. Meanwhile, the horror is extremely effective, delivering genuine scares and crafting a terrifying atmosphere. In the end, it leaves the impression that Whannell, even when not entirely successful, still brings good ideas and a refreshing take to the world of classic movie monsters."
