‘Wolf Man’ Review: Gory Reboot Of Universal’s Classic Monster Shows Christopher Abbott Changing Before Our Eyes


A review of 'Wolf Man' , a reboot of Universal's classic 1941 monster movie starring Christopher Abbott as man who morphs into wolf-like beast

Creating a whole new story for a contemporary setting, director and co-writer (with Corbett Tuck) Leigh Whannell is back after so skillfully reimagining The Invisible Man as a female-centric horror tale of domestic abuse among other issues. This is just the beginning of the true terror as in pure Wolf Man fashion where Blake experiences some frightening body changes, first a tooth falling out, then much bloodier effects after nearly being pulled through the dog door by an unseen creature. Soon he begins physically and mentally changing and the real horror is not just on those prosthetics so effectively created by Jane O’Kane and Arjen Tuiten, but also on Charlotte’s face as she sees her husband morphing into someone she no longer recognizes.
