Blumhouse's 'Wolf Man' Reimagines Werewolf Lore with a Haunting Family Drama

The Leigh Whannell-directed horror film debuts in theaters January 17, blending human tragedy with visceral transformation.

Wolf Man, a reboot of the classic Universal Monsters film, is set to release in theaters on January 17, 2025, and will not be available on streaming platforms at launch.
Directed by Leigh Whannell, known for The Invisible Man, the film explores werewolf transformation as a metaphor for illness, emphasizing emotional and physical struggles within a family dynamic.
Christopher Abbott stars as Blake, a man who begins a terrifying transformation after being attacked by an unseen creature, with Julia Garner and Matilda Firth portraying his wife and daughter.
The film has received early praise for its unique action sequences, emotional depth, and innovative use of prosthetics to depict the werewolf transformation process.
Wolf Man aims to distinguish itself from prior werewolf films by focusing on relatable human elements and a grounded, tragic narrative, while still delivering intense horror moments.
