TL;DR – It is a film that starts out like a sprint, but it may have forgotten it was not that kind of race towards the end.

Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.

Disclosure – I was invited to a press screening of this film.

Wolf Man Review –

Well, not that long ago, Universal attempted to re-create a shared universe for all those classical monster films that they still held the rights for, and well, the Dark Universe was so successful that you won’t find it on our Cinematic Universes page. However, in the wake of that, they still had all these monsters lying around, and someone might as well do something with them, which is how we got Leigh Whannell’s fantastic The Invisible Man, a film that lived rent-free in my brain for an age. Well, it is now time to see if lightning can strike twice.   

So, to set the scene, Blake (Zac Chandler) has had an estranged relationship with his father (Sam Jaeger) and the place he grew up in the deep rural forests of Oregon, and he got out as soon as he could. Now living with a Wife, Charlotte (Julia Garner), and daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth), Blake (Christopher Abbott) has everything he wanted but is still struggling. Much of this comes from the legacy of his father, who went out into the woods one day and never returned. Well, the government has finally declared him dead, so Blake can take his family back to his family home to pack everything up and close that chapter of his life with maybe a quiet stay in the mountains to reconnect everyone. This is the plan right until something furry jumps out on the road in the dark, and the family find themselves perched sideways on some trees with a monster about.
