Coming Attractions- Wolf Man (2025)

 

Director- Leigh Whannell

Cast- Julia Garner, Christopher Abbott, Milo Cawthorne, Sam Jaeger, Matilda Firth

Release Date- January 17, 2025

I got a good chuckle out of the no trespassing “there is nothing here worth dying for” sign.

If Leigh Whannell’s name is attached to a horror film, you can always count on something good, or at least something that’s worthwhile.

The story of a parent fighting to protect their child from a menacing threat works for a touch of realism and relatability. Add in the fact that Charlotte (Julia Garner) is protecting her daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth) from her father, Blake (Christopher Abbott), and you’ve easily got another strong emotional layer for a deadly dilemma.

They’re going the infection route with the transformation. It’s an approach that’ll add more suspense to the movie, as Blake slowly turns into a werewolf. Wolf Man has all the right tools to be a success. An emotional story, vicious werewolves, and a mother and a daughter fighting for their lives out in the middle of nowhere, seemingly stranded miles away from civilization.
