The first reactions for Universal Pictures’ horror film Wolf Man have hit social media, and critics are loving what the movie delivers.
Wolf Man is described as a “Pulse-Pounding”, “Super Fun”, “Terrifying”, “Gruesome”, and “Suspensful”. It sounds like it’s going to deliver a dark and crazy story that horror movie fans will enjoy.
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 (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.”
The movie comes from Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell and a script written by Whannell and Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, the latter duo previously wrote the comedic drama, Dumb Money.
