In Wolf Man (2025), directed by Leigh Whannell, we follow Blake (Christopher Abbott), a San Francisco husband and father who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his father’s mysterious disappearance. Hoping to mend his strained marriage with his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Julia Garner), Blake convinces her to take a break from city life and visit the secluded property with their young daughter, Ginger.

As the family arrives at the farmhouse under the cover of night, they are suddenly attacked by an unseen creature. In their desperate escape, they barricade themselves inside the house, believing they’ve found temporary safety. However, the ordeal takes a darker turn when Blake, having sustained a claw wound during the attack, begins to exhibit unsettling symptoms. His senses become unnaturally heightened, his skin’s texture alters, and he struggles to comprehend human speech. As the night progresses, Blake’s transformation intensifies, revealing that he is becoming the very creature they fear.

The film delves into themes of inherited trauma and the fear of becoming what we dread most. A harrowing revelation unfolds as it’s discovered that the werewolf responsible for Blake’s condition is his own estranged father, Grady (Sam Jaeger), highlighting a cycle of violence and the struggle to break free from one’s dark lineage.

Wolf Man offers a chilling narrative that intertwines family dynamics with horror, presenting a tale of transformation that is both physical and psychological. As Blake grapples with his monstrous metamorphosis, the film explores the lengths one will go to protect loved ones from the beasts within and the horrors lurking outside.
