Wolf Man (2025) – A Modern Take on the Classic Werewolf Tale
Wolf Man (2025), directed by Leigh Whannell, is a contemporary reimagining of the classic werewolf legend. The film stars Christopher Abbott as Blake Lovell, a family man who takes his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) and their young daughter Ginger to his late father’s remote farmhouse in Oregon. Blake’s father, Grady, was obsessed with protecting him from perceived threats in the surrounding woods, leaving Blake with a haunting childhood memory of a werewolf-like creature.
During their journey, Blake is scratched by a mysterious creature, setting off a terrifying transformation. As Blake begins to change into a werewolf, he must protect his family from the creature outside and the monster within himself. The film is set over a single, mist-shrouded night, with Charlotte forced to make life-or-death decisions to keep herself and Ginger safe.
Whannell’s direction brings a fresh and modern feel to the monster movie genre, focusing on the psychological and emotional impact of Blake’s transformation on his family. The film is visually striking and maintains a good level of tension throughout.
