Wolf Man
Directed by Leigh Whannell
With his marriage fraying, Blake persuades his wife Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit his remote childhood home in rural Oregon. As they arrive at the farmhouse in the dead of night, they're attacked by an unseen animal and barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. But as the night stretches on, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →A very good Wolf Man movie delivered w/emotional sincerity. Doesn’t break the mold like Invisible Man, in part because we’ve seen plenty werewolf movies. Sidesteps conventions, design makes sense in context, sound is aces. Abbott is phenomenal -he’s got those sad Chaney Jr eyes.

neutral · AI labelView post →Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom: Shaun accidentally creates a monster in the third film of the Wallace & Gromit spin-off, that riffs largely on Universal horror like Frankenstein and The Wolf Man. Retreads Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but still fun, a very gentle intro to horror for kids.

neutral · AI labelView post →A rewatch of 2025's WOLF MAN confirms it's a truly special and beautiful film. It provides a steady string of scares and ick (Wannell is an expert in that) while understanding what powered the original film: Larry Talbot's sadness and shame. This movie is always on the edge of emotional implosion.

neutral · AI labelView post →Man. Leigh Whannell is one of my favorite horror directors but WOLF MAN was only okay. Some cool creature effects and concepts but emotionally and dramatically inert, with a shocking lack of tension. So disappointed in this one.
negative · AI labelView post →Kind of hate them showing off that Wolf Man design in the marketing. Just had it spoiled, and it makes it feel like they have little confidence in the film. Very Blumhouse move, and feels sloppy compared to the recent Nosferatu campaign that obviously was successful without showing the monster.
negative · AI labelView post →My ★½ review of Wolf Man boxd.it/aZad0d Lacking gore or scares, horror update screens like a low-rent THE FLY (86) minus its humor, developed characters, & actual plot. Incredibly, zero build-up or suspense in, perhaps, 2025's laziest screenplay. But "wolf vision" amused me. #filmsky 📽 #horrorsky
negative · AI labelView post →Finally caught up with WOLF MAN today & I liked it overall. I think the biggest issue is that the title conjures up certain notions & this movie was a different beast altogether, so adjusting my expectations helped. Would play well alongside ANTLERS too (another similar film that I also dug).

negative · AI labelView post →I love this description of the upcoming Wolf Man movie, "[it] stars indie darling Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) as the titular man morphing into a wolf man, and Julia Garner (Ozark) as a woman who wishes her husband was not morphing into a wolf man."
neutral · AI labelView post →Roger Ebert's adage that no great movie is too long and no bad movie is ever short enough was proven again to me this week. Wolf Man feels twice as long as The Brutalist.
negative · AI labelView post →— CLAUDE RAINS. “NOTORIOUS” “FOUR DAUGHTERS” “LAWRENCE OF ARABIA” “CASABLANCA” “THEY WON’T FORGET” “ANTONY and CLEOPATRA” “NOW, VOYAGER” “THE WOLF MAN” et al. HE is a character actor extraordinaire. But imagine making your Hollywood film debut . . . and not being seen.

neutral · AI labelView post →Curt Siodmak's screenplay for The Wolf Man is usually credited with introducing a silver allergy to werewolves, but he is NOT actually the originator (not telling who is, yet). The film DID embed the idea in popular consciousness though (and really, our basic idea of werewolves generally)

(he said as sat in the corner, flicking a lamp on and off like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, silently waiting for his film to be “rediscovered” in ten years).

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm actually kinda glad that the recent Wolf Man version is kinda of a "meh" film by most people's accounts. Cause that way I won't need to put up with that terrible werewolf design. Seriously, Cronenberg's The Fly was an inspiration? At least the monster fly looked like one.
negative · AI labelView post →Considering taking myself on a movie date because I’m Going Through It and popcorn could fix me. Wolf Man or drive a little farther and see Nosferatu?
neutral · AI labelView post →"Wolf Man" review by @jacoboller.bsky.social makes it sound like a passable horror film & a deeply disappointing werewolf film.

negative · AI labelView post →SHOCKTOBER ‘25 #4: THE WOLF MAN They don’t tell you the Wolf Man’s name is Larry. They also don’t tell you that this is a pretty sad movie about masculinity and fathers and sons which I’m a total sucker for. But also someone should have told me the Wolf Man is named Larry.
positive · AI labelView post →THE WOLF MAN is the embodiment of a cold, moonlit night. It has some of the best cinematography and scenery in the Universal Monsters films. Lon Chaney Jr. is fantastic. The pacing is perfect. The story is tragic. It’s a timeless movie with a gut wrenching ending. 🎃📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →Listened to @conanthecontrarian.bsky.social’s hilarious audio commentary for “Wolf Man (2025)”. He never fails to be a highly entertaining commentator. From opening with a joke about the lack of theater etiquette to consistent “fun facts” to “Film BlueSky” I cannot recommend this commentary enough.

neutral · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed Leigh Whannell’s WOLF MAN - a tense, scary, and surprisingly emotional film that has more in common with David Cronenberg’s THE FLY than your typical werewolf movie. A soulful, heartbreaking performance by Christopher Abbot that channels Lon Chaney Jr. @conanthecontrarian.bsky.social
