Overview
In the latest failure from Blumhouse Productions, 'Wolf Man' attempts to blend family drama with horror but ultimately falls flat. Starring Christopher Abbott as Blake, who returns to his childhood home with his wife and daughter, the film struggles with pacing, predictability, and inadequate character arcs. Critics note the movie's attempts to tackle themes of protection and toxic masculinity are muddled within a narrative that spends too much time on lackluster domestic drama. Instead of thrilling scares, viewers are met with heavy breathing and an underwhelming creature, leading to a lack of investment in the plot and characters.
