Leigh Whannell’s reboot of the Universal Monster classic. Christopher Abbott plays Blake, a San Fran dad who drags his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) and daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth) to his rural Oregon childhood home after his dad’s presumed dead. Night one, a beast scratches Blake, and he starts turning feral—family horror with body-horror grit.   I’m digging into the 2025 Wolf Man reboot—Leigh Whannell’s stab at the Universal classic. We’re talking the setup, box office flop, character flops, those dope practical effects, and how it’s landing out there. Straight up, I’m bummed—the pacing’s a slog, the arcs are thin, and it’s got no heart to grip you. Visuals pop, sure, but it’s a shell of a story that doesn’t hit home—leaves me cold.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Introduction to Wolfman02:58 Overview of the 2025 Reboot05:55 Box Office Performance and Reception09:14 General Thoughts on the Film11:53 Character Analysis and Themes15:00 Visual Effects and Practical Effects17:56 Plot Recap and Analysis25:56 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   ----more----    Legit Cool Podcast: Film deep cuts for real ones.
