While there are a few moments of delicious tension — like an opening sequence where a young Blake goes from hunting to hunted — Wolf Man overall is more one-note than anything. Compared to The Invisible Man it's a serious misstep for Whannell.UPDATE: Apr. 15, 2025, 3:09 p.m. EDT Originally published on Jan. 15, 2025, this review has been updated to reflect the current screening options.

16, 2025. Wolf Man. Directed by Leigh Whannell. Horror.“Wolf Man,” Leigh Whannell’s feature follow-up to his exceptional 2020 thriller, “The Invisible Man,” is a strange beast. More touching than flat-out terrifying, the movie pings with echoes of its predecessor. Both feature a heroine menaced by a radically altered romantic partner; both are headlined by potent female actors (first Elisabeth Moss, now Julia Garner); and both construct their violence on a framework of unresolved psychological trauma.
