Film Review - Wolf Man (2025)
January 16, 2025
There’s been plenty of horror centered around the physical changes and fury of the Wolf Man. The creature has been very good to Universal Pictures over the decades, and the studio keeps trying to reintroduce the character to audiences, perhaps most recently in 2010’s big budget “The Wolfman,” while the hairy menace is set to receive his own roller coaster ride at Universal’s Epic Universe theme park, opening this summer. Until such thrills are offered to the public, viewers are going to have to make do with “Wolf Man,” which brings co-writer/director Leigh Whannell’s take on the menace to the big screen. For some viewers, Whannell did wonders reworking “The Invisible Man” for modern audiences, and he tries to do the same with “Wolf Man.” Unfortunately, while the concept behind this rethinking of body horror is sound, the execution is surprisingly lethargic, as Whannell doesn’t exactly want to make a scary movie with the material, but he doesn’t have much else to share in this inert semi-chiller.
