Leigh Whannell, master of modern horror cinema, returns with Wolf Man, a darkly psychological reinterpretation of the 1941 classic The Werewolf. After making his mark with Invisible Man and co-creating the Saw franchise, Whannell once again explores humanity's deepest fears, this time with a family man plagued by a monstrous curse. The cast includes Christopher Abbott(It Comes at Night), Julia Garner(Ozark) and Sam Jaeger(The Handmaid's Tale), forming a promising ensemble for this breathtakingly suspenseful horror film.
Wolf Man will be released in cinemas from January 15, 2025.
Synopsis: New version of 1941's "Werewolf".
In Wolf Man, a devoted father (played by Christopher Abbott) tries to protect his loved ones from a terrifying creature that prowls around on the nights of the full moon. The bloodthirsty werewolf stalks them relentlessly. But as the story unfolds, a darker truth emerges: what if the seemingly loving and protective man himself is the monstrous creature he's trying to escape? This psychological thriller questions the nature of evil and the trust we can place in those we love. Between visceral horror and tense suspense, Leigh Whannell promises an immersion in the darkness of the human soul.
Wolf Man will appeal above all to fans of horror films and psychological thrillers. Fans of Leigh Whannell's previous works, such as Invisible Man and Upgrade, will find his trademark style here, where psychological tension mingles with physical horror. The originality of this version lies in its transformation of the werewolf myth into a metaphor for loss of control and human duality, a recurring theme in Whannell's work. If you enjoyed Invisible Man, It Comes at Night or Hereditary, Wolf Man could well be your next movie date.
With Wolf Man, Leigh Whannell offers a modern, psychological reinterpretation of the werewolf myth, supported by a solid cast and palpable tension. The film should appeal to both fans of classic horror films and those in search of intense psychological thrillers. Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner plunge us into a world where fear of the other merges with fear of oneself, promising an agonizing and captivating journey.
