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.

Audience Says

Wolf Man could’ve been a contender in the werewolf canon and comes so close thanks to its immersive atmosphere and capable cast, but it is ultimately severed by its tepid approach at horror delivered at a languid pace.

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 Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Puny in most regards. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex While Wolf Man might hit the concept a little on the nose, brilliant visual designs, gross body horror, and above-average performances help keep Whannell’s film engaging. Rated: 7/10 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Amie Simon I Love Splatter While WOLF MAN doesn’t dive quite as deep into its themes as THE INVISIBLE MAN did, there’s still an interesting connection to generational abuse and trauma within the story. But it’s truly the look and feel here that made it so very entertaining to me. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

William Interesting and I like werewolves. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Gary G I rate on the genre and this was good for a werewolf movie with an interesting perspective and trying to tell it from a "what if it were real" slant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Claire S WHY DO PEOPLE GIVE SUCH LOW STARS??? WHAT DIDN'T YOU LIKE??? I'M JUST SHOCKED! THIS MOVIE IS 10 OUT OF 10! A VERY SCARY AND ATMOSPHERIC WEREWOLF MOVIE FROM THE LAST 10 YEARS! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Shawn H Hate the monster in this one. Wasn’t even a wolf in my opinion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Danny H Good story made me jump Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Justin Overall a good scare, but it did lag at times. It’s well directed and worth the a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
