The "Wolf Man" is here. Universal and Blumhouse's latest update of a classic Universal Monsters character, following 2020's excellent "The Invisible Man" (also written and directed by "Wolf Man" filmmaker Leigh Whannell) has finally arrived.

Wolf Man and The Invisible Man both hail from director Leigh Whannell and Universal Studios but are they in the same universe?

This weekend sees the latest in a new generation of “Universal Monster” movies with Wolf Man. Director Leigh Whannell previously struck gold with his adaptation of The Invisible Man and while his new film isn’t receiving quite the response from critics, it’s still poised to be a solid hit, thanks to a less than blockbuster budget.

Wolf Man was called 'pulse-pounding' and 'terrifying' in first reactions, but the Rotten Tomatoes score leaves little to be desired as Leigh Whannell's reimagining of George Waggner's 1941 film currently has an underwhelming score of 56% on review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes.

"Wolf Man," starring Juila Garner and Christopher Abbott tries a new spin on the classic werewolf movie. Lee Whannell co-wrote and directed the film.

Wolf Man stars Julia Garner and Christopher Abbott join producer Beatriz Sequeira and writer/director Leigh Whannell to discuss how they reimagined the iconic werewolf tale and the essentials of telling a good werewolf story.

I brought that specific curiosity with me to the Wolf Man press day earlier this month in Los Angeles, where I had the chance to interview director Leigh Whannell. I asked about Gosling’s original involvement and how much the movie changed with the recasting,

Leigh Whannell's new "Wolf Man" film stars Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, and it's filled with twists and turns.

A ccording to an old parable, we all hold two wolves within. We must feed the good wolf in order to build its strength. Then there’s the werewolf. It lives within as well. And when he comes out to play, bringing humanity’s suppressed animalism to the surface, you can bet there’s a bad moon rising.

Leigh Whannell returns to the Universal vein with Wolf Man, shooting this werewolf tale full of modern anxiety.

The writer-director was partially inspired by a close friend who died of ALS, but ultimatley lost a scene involving the affliction: "That's definitely one that hurt when I took it out."
