Leigh Whannell follows ‘The Invisible Man’ with another update on a classic from the Universal archives, unfolding in an isolated farmhouse in the Pacific Northwest.

Filmmaker Leigh Whannell directed 2020's intriguing "The Invisible Man," but his latest classic monster redux is a shaggy mess that should have been curbed.

And now Whannell is back with another standalone revival of a classic Universal Monster in Wolf Man. At one stage, it had Ryan Gosling starring and Derek Cianfrance directing, but it now arrives in cinemas with Whannell at the helm and Christopher Abbott in the lead role.

Fans of “SCTV” may remember a “Monster Chiller Horror Theatre” episode in which Joe Flaherty’s late-night host, Count Floyd, mistakenly programs a made-up Ingmar Bergman film, “Whispers of the Wolf,” thinking it’s a simple werewolf picture instead of a moody, existential mashup of Bergman’s “Hour of the Wolf” and “Persona.”

Julia Garner, who plays Charlotte, shared her thoughts on what drew her to the project, putting special focus on its emotional depth. She said what captivated her about Wolf Man was its exploration of love and loss.

Julia Garner has hailed the "incredible" transformation in 'Wolf Man'. The 30-year-old actress features in Leigh Whannell's horror reboot as Charlotte and revealed that she was left horrified by the way in which her co-star Christopher Abbott – who plays Blake – becomes the monster.
