To protect her daughter, Charlotte must decide whether to confront the danger outside or the growing horror within.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Whannell is a talented filmmaker with bold ideas, but his Wolf Man is stretched far too thin to the point where it lacks a firm identity. The filmmaker dismantles the lore and delivers a bold new take on the werewolf, but it’s so wrapped up in its underserved characters and subtext that it forgets to be scary.”
