Wolf Man isn't as terrifying as some of Leigh Whannell's films, but, as usual, he elevates the story by adding generational trauma and family dynamics. Viewers who prefer thrilling practical effects and body horror to jumpscares will be especially intrigued by the story. Whannell effectively reimagines Wolf Man, leaving little resemblance to the 1941 film and allowing it to stand well on its own. Reminiscent of movies like Insidious for its exploration of family and monster/body horror movies like The Thing, Wolf Man is an excellent choice for those seeking a thoughtful, tense, albeit not terrifying horror movie.
