Blumhousecan always be counted on for entertaining newhorrorreleases, andthe teaser for the upcoming movieWolf Manis now here.
After watching the teaser, it’s clear thatWolf Manwill be one ofthe best movies released by Blumhousethanks toits creepy and evocative setting, twisty plot, and talented stars Julia Garner and Christopher Abbott. The movie is based on the 1941 movie, which is also calledWolf Man, and is directed by Leigh Whannell. The screenplay is by Whannell, Rebecca Angelo, Lauren Schuker Blum, and Corbett Tuck based on a story by Tuck and Whannell.
TheWolf Manteaser begins with a creepy close-up of bugs in a forestand reveals a scary story about what seems to be an animal let loose in a town, along with the family who has to attempt to survive. A young girl asks, “Daddy? Are we gonna die?” which is extra terrifying considering how young she is. While her father Blake (Christopher Abbott) says “No, it’s my job to protect you,” it’s clear that survival isn’t guaranteed for any of the characters… especially sinceBlake is the Wolf Man in question.
From therecent horror movieAfraidwhich has a new take on AItoGet OutandtheParanormal Activityfranchise, Blumhouse can always be counted on to release creative remakes, eerie supernatural stories, and slashers.TheWolf Manremake features a family on a vacation that goes horribly wrong from the start. Charlotte (Julia Garner) and Blake go to a cabin in the woods, which is classic horror movie imagery for good reason, along with their daughter Ginger (Matlida Firth).

In 2021,Colliderinterviewed Jason Blum aboutWolf Man,and it’s interesting to reflect on his words. Blum said:
“Wolfman, we are also working on the script, got to get the script, right. In that case, it’s Ryan Gosling not Scott Cawthon. But working on trying to get a script that he feels good about and comfortable about and excited about.”
Wolf Manhas experienced many changes since 2021, including a new main actor, a new director, and even a new release date. In December 2023,Entertainment Weeklyreported that Gosling left the project and Abbott would be playing the main role instead.While Abbott played Charlie Dattolo inGirls, he also starred in the horror moviePossessor.
WhileWolf Manwas originally going to be in theaters in October 2024,Varietyreported that the release date was delayed.Check out Blumhouse’sWolf Manon January 17th, 2025and start the new year off on a scary foot.
