What if someone you loved became something else?
From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.
Golden Globe nominee 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 (Emmy winner 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 film co-stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama) and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man), with newcomer Zac Chandler, Beatriz Romilly (Shortland Street) and Milo Cawthorne (Shortland Street).
Wolf Man is directed by Whannell and written by Whannell & Corbett Tuck. Whannell’s previous films with Blumhouse include TheInvisible Man, Upgrade and Insidious: Chapter 3.
The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum p.g.a., and Ryan Gosling (The Fall Guy, Lost River) and is executive produced by Leigh Whannell, Beatriz Sequeira, Mel Turner and Ken Kao. Universal Pictures and Blumhouse present a Gosling/Waypoint Entertainment production, in association with Cloak & Co: Wolf Man.

00:00Daddy, are we gonna die?
00:04No. It's my job to protect you.
00:07Cut. Very nice.
00:11When I was trying to come up with a new angle for the Wolfman story,
00:14I thought about werewolf movies,
00:16and I knew I wanted to give audiences something new to experience.
00:22A Wolfman story is about infection and transformation.
00:26So after the last few years of turmoil that the world has been in,
00:30the themes of isolation and dread and anxiety
00:34were naturally coming out in the script.
00:36Hello.
00:38We were attacked by some kind of animal,
00:41and I think my husband was infected by it.
00:47What's wrong with Daddy?
00:50This film is my tribute to the 80s movies I loved growing up.
00:54Daddy.
00:58Movies like John Carpenter's The Thing,
01:00David Cronenberg's The Fly.
01:02What is happening to me?
01:05The world in which we sort of grounded this story in itself stands apart.
01:09Can you understand me?
01:14I can't hear you anymore.
01:17You're scaring me.
01:21He has such an atmosphere in his directing.
01:23Seeing this thing come running in is what will scare the audience.
01:26He has a really keen eye for cinematography and sound.
01:33I just wanted it to be an oral assault.
01:37Run.
01:38I wanted to lean into something horrific, something visceral.
01:42You can really dig deep into someone's subconscious with a horror film,
01:46and I think we do that with this movie.
01:49Please, Daddy, it's me.
01:52That's the way it needs to be done.
01:56Daddy, is that you?
