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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Director Leigh Whannell's attempt at bringing a fresh psychological dimension to the Wolf Man comes at the expense of proper scares, although fans of body horror will still find some tasty morsels to chew on.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's a bit of a sheep in in Wolf's clothing... it's just a bit dull. Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable Compared to The Invisible Man it's a serious misstep for Whannell. Compared to The Mummy, well, that might have been a wreck of a movie, but at least it was occasionally fun. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Thoughtful, quietly provocative and freaky. Rated: 4/5 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Manuel Betancourt FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I found it utterly forgettable and a waste of fantastic actors. Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Lane Mills InSession Film Unfortunately, Wolf Man is quintessential January horror, despite the promise of the names and pasts attached to it. Rated: C Feb 10, 2025 Full Review John Serba Decider Wolf Man ultimately delivers more than it doesn’t. Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

luis Edge of your seat, scary at times... Glad I didn't go alone to watch it! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Nick D If it wasn't for the fact that the sound design was pretty good I would've given this just three stars. While this isn't director Leigh Whannell's worst film as neither director or writer however the ideas he presents in this film could've been better fleshed out. This also brings up how the characters could've been better developed. As for the design of the wolf man itself, it's not the worst as many claim. It wouldn't be good if the wolf man was a CG character. Which reminds me that this film could've been much worse if the studio was still doing it's Dark Cinematic Universe. That said this is a wait for Peacock. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Beverly So many questions unanswered Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Alex Well made and soooo suspenseful the entire time. Literally scared the crap out of my girlfriend. She ran away mid movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Abraham Liked the dynamic of the family but didn’t feel expanded enough. Wanted more background on the father and wanted more Wolf Man action. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review aliciald85 L The movie was great and scary too lots of action in it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
