How to watch Wolf Man
The classic horror monster gets a refresh, here’s how you can check it out.
The Wolf Man is back in a brand new movie that offers a refresh of the classic horror monster from director Leigh Whannell, who previously did something similar to much acclaim with 2020’s The Invisible Man. If you’re interested in checking the director’s latest, then let us help you get everything you need to know on how to watch Wolf Man right here.
The most famous iteration of the Wolf Man came in 1941’s The Wolf Man starring Claude Rains. There have been various interpretations of the Wolf Man/werewolves on screen ever since — from An American Werewolf in London to Teen Wolf to a more traditional remake of The Wolfman in 2010 — but this 2025 new movie attempts to redefine the character for a new generation.

What else to know about Wolf Man
Wolf Man is written and directed by Whannell, with a co-writer credit by Corbett Tuck, and stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Sam Jaeger and Matilda Firth. Here is a synopsis for the movie:
“Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte, fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger.
“But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.”
