There’s a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell, aiming for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release – and while speaking to Empire, Whannell revealed that he drew inspiration from David Cronenberg’s remake of The Fly when he was crafting his take on this classic werewolf story.

Whannell said, “What The Fly did that a lot of other practical-effects-driven horror movies from that time did not do was bring the tragedy out of these practical effects. It wasn’t a joke in The Fly. It was there to illustrate someone who was dying of an illness. I was like, ‘I’ve got to do that.’ It’s not about being funny or icky or gory. This is about the tragedy of the human body falling apart.“

The leads of this version of Wolf Man are Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner,...

As you finish up binging “Cross,” feel free to explore Aldis Hodge’s massive body of work, as we’ve laid all the films and TV shows starring the actor that you should watch next.

Listen, Aldis Hodge isn’t new to this thing called acting, he’s true to it. He’s literally been on screen since he was 7 years old, when he made his film debut alongside his brother Edwin Hodge in “Die Hard With a Vengeance” in 1995. Since then, he’s gone on to earn several award nominations as well as a Screen Actors Guild award.

The actor and producer has a lengthy career that includes projects that have depicted real-life figures, thrilled audiences and inspired viewers. Here’s nine shows and films to check Hodge out in after you’ve finished “Cross.”

“Leverage” (TNT) “Leverage” (2008)

In TNT’s heist drama “Leverage,” Hodge played hacker Alec Hardison,...

Peacock announced this morning that its psychological horror thriller Speak No Evil, starring James McAvoy, will begin streaming exclusively on the platform on December 6.

The film drew quite positive reviews in its September release — no easy feat for an English-language remake of a recent, highly lauded international title — and grossed over $76 million worldwide. Hailing from Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, it adapts Christian Tafdrup’s Danish pic of the same name, released in 2022.

The story follows Americans Ben (Scoot McNairy) and Louise (Mackenzie Davis), who after befriending a British couple with a mute son, accept an unusual invitation to bring their daughter for a weekend at an idyllic country estate. Yet when they discover their hosts are hiding sinister motives, Ben and Louise fear their family may be pawns in a disturbing plot. Led by McAvoy as a charismatic man masking unspeakable darkness, a dream holiday warps into an unnerving nightmare.

From Blumhouse and The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare, Wolf Man. In the movie, Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) 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; The Fantastic Four: First Steps), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Coma).

However, 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, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, leaving Charlotte to decide whether the terror...

2025 Preview

As the curtain closes on another glorious year of blockbuster bangers,...

In 2020, before the world fell apart, director Leigh Whannell unleashed a seriously smart take on one of cinema’s greatest foes: The Invisible Man. His vision of the Universal Monster offered an entirely new idea on what H.G. Wells first dreamed up – turning the premise into a terrifying tale of gaslighting, as Elisabeth Moss’ architect Cecilia is convinced her seemingly-dead abusive ex is still haunting her. Now, Whannell is following up The Invisible Man with another Universal Monster movie, Wolf Man. And this one, too, delivers an all-new approach to the legendary lycanthrope. Here, it’s Christopher Abbott’s Blake who’s about to undergo some lunar lunacy, beset by a beast whose claw has him slowly transforming into something else.

As that premise suggests, Whannell’s Wolf Man will be leaning into the body-horror elements inherent to the werewolf mythos. And he’s taking cues from one of the all-time greats.

Around the time he makes his Dcu debut as Rick Flag Sr. in the animated Creature Commandos series (he will also play the character in live-action in Superman and Peacemaker season 2), Frank Grillo will go up against a lot of lycanthropes in a new horror movie from director Steven C. Miller.

Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man reboot is coming our way early next year (you can check out the most recent trailer here), but before that, a more action-oriented werewolf movie is set to howl into theaters.

Following last month's first trailer, we now have a new "Supermoon" teaser courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.

The movie, which has been described as "The Purge with werewolves," has a killer premise: "One year ago, a Supermoon turned millions into werewolves. This December, it’s happening again.”

This new teaser features more transformation shots and gives us a better look at the creature design,...

A new look at Blumhouse’s upcoming creature feature Wolf Man gives us a longer look at a couple of scenes.

Leigh Whannell has dubbed his upcoming werewolf project for Blumhouse as a ‘straight-up horror movie’ and we’re very much behind that idea. Whilst twisting the classic Wolfman tale in the direction of comedy or drama has given us some interesting and enjoyable takes on the hairy monster over the years, one of the things we love about Whannell’s films is how he commits to the bite.

Perhaps 2018’s Upgrade is the best example of this, an old-fashioned action thriller with a gloss coat of splatterpunk violence applied, but a film that is entirely unironic in its presentation and an earnest take on the material. Considering Blumhouse’s January releases can veer wildly in tone – from the comic silliness of M3GAN to the schlocky mock drama of Night Swim,...

Universal Pictures' proposed Dark Universe may have died a death long before it ever really got going, but the central idea — to take the studio's iconic pantheon of monsters and bring them into the 21st century — has remained very much alive (Aliiive!). In 2020, Saw co-creator Leigh Whannell successfully reimagined The Invisible Man as a timely allegory for the terrors of gaslighting with Elisabeth Moss, resulting in one of the best horror movies in recent memory. Now, with his upcoming Wolf Man, the Aussie filmmaker is preparing to retool Universal's 1941 creature feature as a tale of toxic masculinity and the dissolution of the familial unit starring Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, and newcomer Matilda Firth. Check out the beast of a new trailer that's just been released below:

With each passing trailer, the bigger picture of Whannell's Wolf Man has been coming into sharper focus. The first teaser established the movie's rural Oregonian setting,...

“Wolf Man” is a new live-action supernatural horror feature, directed by Leigh Whannell, as a reboot of the 1941 Universal horror classic, “The Wolf Man”, now starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, opening January 17, 2025 in theaters:

“…’Blake’ (Abbott), a San Francisco-based husband and father…

“…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’ (Garner), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, ‘Ginger’ (Matlida Firth).

“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...

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse has unleashed the full trailer for Leigh Whannell’s reimagining of ‘Wolf Man.’

Christopher Abbott 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, fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth).

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.

Directed by Whannel, Sam Jaeger...

We're now just over two months away from the release of The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man reboot, and Universal Pictures UK (via FearHQ.com) has debuted an international trailer featuring quite a bit of new footage.

Our first look at what was assumed to be the titular Wolf Man via an actor in a costume at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights was met with a lot of backlash, but the first teaser did suggest that this will be the creature responsible for the initial attack, leaving Christopher Abbott's Blake to change into a different beast altogether.

The recent full trailer confirmed that the movie will indeed feature another werewolf, and we catch a new glimpse of the monster (he appears to be more bald than we were expecting!) charging through the trees on all fours in this latest teaser.

The trailer begins with Blake, Charlotte...

Fans of classic Universal horror will be looking forward to 2025… Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have released the official UK trailer for Wolf Man, the upcoming horror feature from acclaimed writer-director Leigh Whannell. Known for his chilling reimagining of The Invisible Man, Whannell now returns with a fresh take on another iconic creature: the werewolf. Starring Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott and Emmy winner Julia Garner, Wolf Man follows a family whose retreat to a remote farmhouse quickly descends into terror as ancient nightmares come alive.

In this modern twist on the classic tale, Abbott stars as Blake, a San Francisco man who inherits his estranged father’s isolated Oregon home. Desperate for a break from city life and the strains in his marriage to high-powered wife Charlotte (Garner), Blake persuades her to join him and their young daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth), on a family trip to the secluded property.

There’s a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters property The Wolf Man coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and The Invisible Man (2020) director Leigh Whannell, aiming for a January 17, 2025 theatrical release – and just one month after the first trailer made its way online, a new trailer has been released! You can check it out in the embed above.

The leads of this version of Wolf Man are Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, both of whom were in the 2011 film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Abbott is taking on the role of a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator. Garner is playing his wife. Sam Jaeger is also in the cast, along with child actress Matilda Firth, playing a character named Ginger: “Female, 10 years old, white. Blake and Charlotte’s daughter. Smart, precocious, and strong. When her family decides to leave the city for a quieter life in a remote area,...

Director Leigh Whannell (The Invisible Man) returns to the world of the Universal Monsters with next year’s Wolf Man, and Universal Pictures UK released a new trailer today.

This new trailer for Wolf Man is loaded with brand new footage not previously seen in the movie’s U.S. trailers, so we figured you’d like to check it out. Give it a watch down below.

From Universal and Blumhouse, Wolf Man howls into theaters January 17, 2025.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) 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 (Julia Garner; 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).

But as the family...

"Don't you lay a hand on him!" Universal UK has unveiled another official trailer for the new Wolf Man movie, arriving in theaters January 2025 early next year. A few extra glimpses of different footage added to this trailer though most of it is similar to the official US trailer from last month. Produced by Jason Blum & Blumhouse, this a fresh update on the classic furry Universal Monster originally invented with the 1941 film The Wolf Man. Most recently there was the 2010 remake called The Wolfman starring Benicio Del Toro plus tons of other werewolf flicks in the last few years. 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. The new tagline: "What if someone you loved became something else?" What would you do? A man must save himself and his family when they are stalked,...

Director Neil Marshall has announced that we’ll probably never see a sequel to his werewolf horror, Dog Soldiers.

Neil Marshall’s Dog Soldiers is one of the defining werewolf movies of its time. The 2002 horror launched Marshall’s career and has become somewhat of a cult classic, receiving a shiny new 4K release in 2020.

A Dog Soldiers sequel has been in the works more or less since the release of the first film. It’s proven to be a bit of a struggle, however, and when Inverse asked Marshall where we are with the sequel in June 2024, Marshall didn’t seem too hopeful.

“I’ve a feeling it’s probably dead in the water because things have gone very quiet from the other side,” the director said, adding: “I’m not giving up, though; there’s still a possibility.”

Unfortunately, it seems that the possibility of another Dog Soldiers...

While everyone talks about Saw as being the franchise that brought the team of James Wan and Leigh Whannell to the public consciousness, Insidious is the pinnacle of their creative brilliance. By the time of the third film, however, Wan had moved on to Furious 7, leaving his partner Whannell to both write and direct Insidious 3, aka Insidious: Chapter 3. This […]

John Wick is one of those film that changed the film industry in a very visible way, which is also one of the million reasons to love the Keanu Reeves‘ action films. After John Wick came out there were many films that tried to replicate its action, simple story-telling, and thrilling entertainment and for all the Netflix subscribers we made a list of the best action movies like John Wick that are available on Netflix right now.

Extraction is an action thriller film directed by Sam Hargrave from a screenplay by Joe Russo. The 2020 film follows Tyler, a ruthless mercenary with a tragic past as he accepts the job of rescuing an Indian crime lord’s teenage son from Bangladesh. But when he gets there he finds himself in an ambush and has to fight his way through.

Update: Warner Bros. has delayed the release of Companion by three weeks, pushing it back to January 31, 2025, the date they had previously reserved for Mickey 17. That film has now moved to April.

The original article follows:

The sci-fi thriller Companion is coming our way from writer/director Drew Hancock and the team behind the 2022 horror hit Barbarian, but even though over a year has passed since the project assembled its cast and went into production, we still know very little about it. It has managed to stay shrouded in secrecy all this time. Which is a good thing, since it won’t be reaching theatres (including IMAX screens) until January… but now, the shroud is starting to be lifted, starting with the release of a teaser trailer. You can watch it in the embed above. The release date gives Companion a one week head-start on Blumhouse Productions and director...

The Saw franchise is one of those that’s become a big part of pop culture, especially since it came out in the 2000s. It really made its mark in the horror world, shaping a generation of fans who still love it today. No wonder the eleventh movie is set to hit theaters next year.

But with so many films, it can be hard for the same person to keep directing for so long. James Wan, one of the creators of the franchise, decided to step away from the project shortly after the first movie. However, in a recent interview, he shared that he would have taken a different approach if he had stayed. He also seized the chance to reveal whether he might return to the franchise someday, which would definitely be surreal.

The critically acclaimed Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man revitalized the classic tale of H.G. Wells into a modern adaptation. The film follows a scientist who fakes his death to stalk his ex-girlfriend using his newfound invisibility technology. Unlike earlier attempts to resurrect Universal’s classic monsters, The Invisible Man has effectively used Blumhouse’s influence. Although Universal continues to announce plans for films based on its iconic monsters, Whannell’s version of The Invisible Man stands out for successfully adapting these legendary stories.

As The Invisible Man’s open ending hints at future possibilities, fans wonder if The Invisible Man 2 will happen. While it remains unconfirmed, here’s everything we know about it.

Is The Invisible Man 2 Happening?

Following the 2020 hit, 2024 has been bombarded with continuous news about whether The Invisible Man 2 is happening. Well, director Leigh Whannell clarified the...

Over 10 films to date and an 11th scheduled for late September of 2025, Saw is a franchise that rivals most in terms of both output and fandom. It had a run of 7 straight films over 7 years which began with the out of nowhere Saw in 2004 and culminating with Saw 3D in 2010. Its consistency may have trailed off temporarily with scattered entries following in 2017, 2021, and 2023, but the series as a whole is well known and has branched off into nearly every conceivable type of media. From comics and novels to video games and toys, Saw may just be primed to start another legendary run in the 2020s. Saw III was a runaway train that is still the highest grossing film in the series, but it was almost not even made after the original creators were done. With traps that were some of the most creative and even including Tobin Bell’s favorite...

James Wan’s Saw turns 20 this year and is back in cinemas. A look at one of the most influential horror films of all time:

There’s a comparitively small group of horror films that have, one way or another, changed the genre. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Night Of The Living Dead, The Blair Witch Project and Psycho have all left their mark, but more recent films aren’t always considered to be as impactful as the genre’s older offerings.

Yet, today’s horror landscape would look very different without James Wan’s Saw, which debuted in cinemas in October 2004 and recently returned to UK cinemas to mark its 20th anniversary. Saw kickstarted the so-called torture porn subgenre of horror along with Eli Roth’s Hostel, but it also brought in a whole new approach to the genre. What if the killer wasn’t just sadistic, but also...

Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst lead the cast of director Derek Cianfrance’s crime drama, with Roofman set to debut in 2025.

There’ll be plenty of folks out there keeping an eye out for director Derek Cianfrance’s next film, partly because we’ve had to wait so long for it. It’s been eight years since he made 2016’s The Light Between Oceans, and although he;s since been attached to the odd project, nothing ever came to fruition.

Cianfrance is the director behind Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond The Pines, so any project he attaches himself to will be of interest to people who liked those movies. His latest film, Roofman, stars Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst and tells the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a career criminal who made a habit of breaking into shops through their roofs (hence the film’s name). Romance struck when...

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Saw. As part of the year-long celebration, Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures round up the cast and crew — specifically, stars Tobin Bell and Cary Elwes, writer Leigh Whannell, producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules — at this month’s Beyond Fest 2024 for a Q&a following a screening of the unrated cut.

Couldn’t make it? No worries: Bloody Disgusting is exclusively presenting the full panel to watch at your leisure!

Without spoiling any of the Q&a, fans can hear about the roots of the story, the hurdles in making the original film a reality, and how the stars truly aligned for a franchise that continues two decades later. After all, the eleventh chapter is just around the corner.

Indie genre director Mickey Keating, who broke out with films such as 2015’s “Darling” and 2016’s “Carnage Park,” has wrapped shooting on his latest movie, the crime drama “Crooks.”

The film stars Keith Kupferer (“Ghostlight”), Angela Trimbur (“Quiz Lady”), Chase Williamson (“John Dies At the End”) and Melora Walters (“Magnolia”).

Per the logline, “Two small-time crooks rob a mob-run poker game in Chicago. Things immediately go wrong, resulting in a high-stakes adventure through the Midwest.”

“’Crooks’ is an incredible opportunity for me to break into the crime movie genre, which I’ve been hoping to do since I started my career,” Keating said in a statement. “This film is a highly stylized celebration of aesthetics ranging from noir to heist to western. I think anyone familiar with my work will see this as a natural progression from my previous films.”

Keating shot the movie in Chicago alongside producers Eddie Linker,...

I don’t think anyone took a breath the entire scene. We collectively gasped when he appears behind her and we all screamed when she opens the shades and sees him up close on the other side of the window. It’s a masterfully orchestrated scene, from the use of handheld long takes to the haunting Joanna Newsom song and Liv Tyler’s pitch-perfect performance. From this scene on, all the idle whispering and chatter disappeared as the movie held the audience by the throat.

After tackling The Invisible Man, writer/director Leigh Whannell set his sights on updating another iconic Universal Horror Monster: The Wolf Man. There have been many different incarnations of the Wolf Man character, but Whannell told ScreenRant that his version is unlike any that have come before it, adding that he even took inspiration from Heath Ledger’s Joker.

“I lined up all the different versions, I had a Pdf of everyone from Lon Chaney to David Norton in American Werewolf, The Howling, Dog Soldiers. I had every look in front of me, and I’m kind of staring at it, and I’m like, ‘All right, so where do I fit in?’” Whannell explained. “You know what a big inspiration to me was, was Heath Ledger’s version of the Joker. Not so much in terms of look, but I had a photo of him on my desk as...

Back in 2020, director Leigh Whannell brought the world a well-received modern update of the classic Universal property The Invisible Man. On January 17, 2025, Universal will be releasing Whannell’s take on another classic Universal property, Wolf Man. There aren’t any plans in place for Whannell to continue making new versions of the Universal Monsters – but, if he were to given his pick of which character(s) to resurrect next, he has said that he would go with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Robert Louis Stevenson created the characters of Jekyll and Hyde in his 1886 novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which depicts the gripping struggle of two opposing personalities — one essentially good, the other evil — for the soul of one man. The story has received many cinematic adaptations over the years, with one being a 26 minute short film that was released in 1913 and came from companies that...

When it comes to “epic sagas,” horror might not be the genre that first comes to mind. Sure, there are long-lasting franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Saw, and Scream. But in terms of long-form storytelling with world-building and distinct character arcs, the closest to a “saga” would likely be The Walking Dead, with not only its main storyline in both comics and TV, but its many spin-offs as well.

It’s also not always the first genre folks think of when the term “worlds colliding” comes to mind. Of course, there’s your Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason—but that’s just it, it’s always two characters opposing one another. Seldom are there team-ups, converging timelines, and characters from vastly different landscapes put in a position to work together in horror; that’s generally saved for your standard superhero fare.

But that’s exactly what happens...

Modern horror icons James Wan and Leigh Whannell have brought us multiple blockbuster franchises over the years, including Saw and Insidious. Insidious: The Red Door was meant to be the final film in the series, but Sony changed its mind after the film's financial success. A sixth Insidious movie is now in the works and planned for a 2025 release date. But that's not all.

Blumhouse, Gea Live, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and RoadCo Entertainment are working in tandem to bring an immersive Insidious experience to 80+ cities across North America next year. Blumhouse also recently collaborated with Peacock to create an Insidious-themed experience at the famous Overlook Hotel and the franchise was featured as part of this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal. All of these events just prove that this horror franchise still has plenty of juice left.

It's no surprise that the Insidious franchise continues to grow over a decade...

As taglines go, the one for Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man — "What if someone you loved became something else?" — is a doozy. Having deftly reconfigured Universal's classic The Invisible Man in 2020 as an Elizabeth Moss led commentary on the horrors of gaslighting, the Aussie filmmaker and co-creator of both Saw and Insidious is retooling the studio's 1941 lycanthropic creature feature as a clawed parable on toxic masculinity and the dissolution of the family unit with Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) and Julia Garner (Ozark). Check out the foreboding new trailer below:

Switching Wales for Oregon and wolf-headed walking sticks for a slightly more visceral catalytic werewolf encounter, it looks like Whannell is going to make good on his promise of "straight-up, pure horror" here with a folk-inflected genre movie barbed with some gnarly looking body horror elements.

Blumhouse and Universal have released a new trailer for their hairy horror, Wolf Man, out in January 2025.

Blumhouse’s Wolf Man has gone through a lot of production changes. Director, Leigh Whannell came onto the project off the back off two remarkable films (Upgrade and The Invisible Man) before being replaced by Derek Cianfrance, probably because he’s a regular collaborator of the film’s original star, Ryan Gosling. When Gosling left, replaced by Christopher Abbott, Whannell stepped back in.

We already got a teaser trailer back in September, but with the film’s January release edging ever closer, Universal has dropped another trailer for the film, this time revealing glimpses of the body horror to come. It’s not even a full moon right now, so we suppose it makes sense that we still haven’t fully seen the creature. Wolf Man stars Julia Garner, Christopher Abbott, Sam Jaeger...

“Wolf Man” is a new live-action supernatural horror feature, directed by Leigh Whannell, as a reboot of the 1941 Universal horror classic, “The Wolf Man”, now starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, opening January 17, 2025 in theaters:

“…’Blake’ (Abbott), a San Francisco-based husband and father, 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’ (Garner), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, ‘Ginger’ (Matlida Firth).

“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...

Wolf Man is directed by Whannell and written by Whannell & Corbett Tuck. Whannell’s previous films with Blumhouse include The Invisible Man, Upgrade and Insidious: Chapter 3.

Following an impressively creepy first teaser, Blumhouse has released a full trailer and a new poster for The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell's upcoming Wolf Man reboot, and it gives us a first glimpse of the movie's other werewolf.

Our first look at what was assumed to be the titular monster via an actor in a costume at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights was met with a lot of backlash, but the first teaser did suggest that this will be the creature responsible for the initial attack, leaving Christopher Abbott's Blake to change into a different beast altogether.

This new look confirms that the movie will indeed feature another werewolf, and we catch a brief glimpse of the lycanthrope right at the end. From what we can make out, this creature design is... quite similar to the guy in the suit!

The trailer begins with Blake, Charlotte and...

The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell tries his hand at another classic Universal monster with Wolf Man. Arriving in January 2025, the new take on the classic werewolf story finds It Comes at Night‘s Christopher Abbott discovering his feral side as the titular character.

The Blumhouse horror film stars Julia Garner (Apartment 7A), Matlida Firth (Coma), Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man). The cast also includes Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly, and Milo Cawthorne.

Awhoooo! The werewolf is back in the new Comic-Con trailer for “Wolf Man,” which is coming to theaters this winter from Blumhouse and Universal.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott stars as Blake, a husband and father who gets attacked by a werewolf and contracts an infection that starts turning him into a werewolf, too. He starts acting strangely and scarily. At one point, we hear what he hears when his Charlotte (three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner) is speaking to him, and it doesn’t even sound like words. As he transforms from man to beast, Charlotte tries to escape from their rural farmhouse with their daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth) before it’s too late.

The horror thriller comes from director Leigh Whannell, who also wrote the script with Corbett Tuck. Whannell previously made 2020’s much-acclaimed “The Invisible Man,” another reimaging of a classic Universal Monsters character. In an interview with DiscussingFilm,...

The "sophomore slump" in art is such an assumed phenomenon that it feels almost unfairly like a prerequisite more than a common occurrence. Sure, many creatives often follow up groundbreaking debuts with efforts that don't quite reach the same level of quality and/or success, but there are far more whose follow-up album or film is just as good in its own unique way. In some cases, it takes time for these works to be fully appreciated, as the fog of hype and expectation can cloud one's judgment, of course. These factors are only heightened by the volume of opinions from audiences and critics who wish to participate in another trend that's commonly associated with follow-up films: people love to pile on what negativity they can, perhaps to prove that an artist isn't as good as they've been cracked up to be, or to humble them, or whatever psychology you'd...

The new tagline: "What if someone you loved became something else?" A man must save himself and his family when they are stalked, terrorized, and haunted by a deadly werewolf at night during a full moon.
