Sometimes the monster comes from inside the house. That’s the underlying theme in the Blumhouse production Wolf Man, which centers on a family where the dad “gets sick” and might maim and murder those he says he’s meant to protect.
Here’s the synopsis:
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), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth).
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.
In addition to Abbott, Garner, and Firth, Wolf Man stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama), and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man). It comes from director Leigh Whannell, whose previous credits include The Invisible Man, Upgrade, and Insidious: Chapter 3. Whannell co-wrote the script with Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. Executive producers include Whannell, Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, and Mel Turner. Jason Blum is the producer.
Wolf Man premieres in theaters on January 17, 2025.
