Wolf Man Ratings & Reviews
- ScottJanuary 19, 2025There are 2 wolves in this movie. One is a story about the struggle with our inner beast, and the other is a creature-feature splatterfest. Unfortunately in this case they fought each other to a standstill when I wish either one of them outright won.
- jzutherFebruary 24, 2025Terrible
- parcolan7d agoGood overall, little shallow but fine, worth a watch
- Greg WinstonApril 7, 2025Genuinely creepy vibe, scares deliver, cool makeup and effects. Story lacks any substance, and the attempt at a subplot falls off half way through. Typically I don't mind these things in a horror film, but this is a Universal Picture bearing the title Wolfman. I expected more.
- zayahaApril 26, 2025Totally awesome … great new spin on a wolf man
- fraggle67April 20, 2025A decent 3rd act, the problem is acts 1 and 2.
- Snedaker21HillMarch 19, 2025Definetly wanted more out of this film, interesting take on "wolf man", unfortunately very predictable, some good jump scare scenes but I wanted more of a hunt/attack from this film. It was mostly a drag a long type film where the characters just seem to drag while everything around them is trying to be engaging and intense but they just cannot work together to get a good storyline across. This was a miss for me with no chance of a rewatch
- djaggFebruary 21, 2025Thoroughly enjoyable creature feature. Solid acting, great makeup and effects, and some dope visuals/direction! Lots of generational themes in some recent watches of mine lol
- Matthias_812April 2, 2025Actually halfway decent, Wolf Man isn't the generic slop that was marketed or what I expected. Leigh Whannell forgets all the traditional werewolf lore to create a story about body horror. The humanistic side of the monster is melting away into a predatorial beast. Whannell really channels Cronenberg's vision of The Fly in this aspect and attempts to pull the emotional heart strings by taking away the man of a close family. Wolf Man is no classic but honestly a very good step in the right direction. I like what Whannell is doing revamping the classic Universal horror monsters in a unique light and interested to see if he's going to continue this streak.
- Örn LúðvíkssonMarch 31, 2025It's an ok sunday night watch. I liked it.
- Andrea Z.March 21, 2025Meh, nothing special. I wished for a different ending, the rest of the family could choose to be turned and live together in the forest... that is a good twist! Instead, the most predictable boring ending ever.
- Philip CollinsMarch 9, 2025It was ok and worth watching once, nice plot twist towards the end.
- jackmeatFebruary 13, 2025My quick rating - 6.1/10. With his marriage on the rocks, Blake (Christopher Abbott) convinces his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) to escape to his childhood home in rural Oregon, hoping for a fresh start—or at least a brief respite from their troubles. But their late-night arrival takes a sinister turn when a beast appears on the road, forces them to veer off their path, and ultimately wrecks their vehicle. After escaping partially unscathed from the accident, they barricade themselves inside Blake's father's farmhouse. As the hours drag on, paranoia sets in, and Blake’s behavior takes a horrifying turn. Unlike the high-gloss Hollywood werewolf stories we’ve seen before, Wolf Man takes a more grounded, almost sorrowful approach to its classic premise. The film’s atmosphere is thick with unease, leaning heavily on its limited cast and isolated setting to keep the tension at a simmering high. The scenery is beautifully shot, making great use of Oregon’s remote, haunting landscapes, which only heighten the couple’s sense of isolation. I believe we would have director Leigh Whannell to thank for this since he also brought us a really good-looking albeit a bit unknown scifi flick, Upgrade. One of the highlights is the transformation itself. Rather than a standard CGI-heavy spectacle, the film takes a more creative approach, offering a chilling look at how the infected perceives the world as the change overtakes them. It’s an unsettling and immersive shift, making the horror feel more personal and inevitable. The movie does a solid job of introducing the couple’s strained relationship early on, giving just enough backstory to make their dynamic compelling without bogging down the pace. And once the horror kicks in, it doesn’t let up. The sense of dread builds steadily, and while there are moments of visceral terror, the film’s real strength is its emotional weight. This isn’t a monster movie that revels in carnage—it’s a tragic, unflinching take on the werewolf mythos that lingers even after the credits. Well-made, tense, and refreshingly different, this flick is a haunting experience for those who appreciate a more thoughtful spin on familiar folklore.
- rg9400February 27, 2025I had seen the terrible reviews for this movie, but I went in with an open mind because the Leigh Whannell had built a strong track record with Upgrade and then a similar Monster Movie in The Invisible Man. The Invisible Man felt tense, looked great, and had strong themes throughout. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. Wolf Man manages to basically fail in almost every category except cinematography and sound design. At times it really does look and sound great, showing glimpses of the director's potential. But I cannot stress enough how the story is completely limp. It is exactly what you predict, but it takes almost 2 hours to get there. It meanders along like its main character. Initially hinting at some interesting themes of parenthood, the movie quickly gets lost in a very uninteresting and drawn out monster chase story. Julia Garner and Christopher Abbott are utterly wasted because there is no concept of characters or plot here. Maybe if this was a short 15 minute film, it could have worked better. The contrast between this and The Invisible Man is so stark that I cannot believe they were made by the same person. It is a staggering juxtaposition of quality that just baffles me. The worst part is that when the movie actually has some cool cinematography, I would just be stuck wondering about what could have been.
- LordDeTracyFebruary 19, 2025Its a interesting take on werewolves and if your family becomes one.
