Directed by Leigh Whannell, Wolf Man is one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2025. The film centres around a family fighting to survive for their lives after some kind of beast attacks them.

The creepy re-imagining of the werewolf genre comes from Whannell, the filmmaker behind Saw, Insidious, and The Invisible Man. The director, who also was the co-writer of this project, spoke to Discussing Film and revealed that his new film is certainly not for the faint of heart.
‘Don’t come in expecting the usual. Expect something different and distinctive. I think audiences are ready for a new take on this enduring character. ‘Hopefully, they will also have a great night out at the movies. They’ll be scared. They’ll be emotionally affected.
He added that the film is set to be an ‘assault’ for the eyes and the ears. ‘We have gone absolutely crazy with the sound of this film — it’s an audiovisual assault. ‘I know people say this all the time, but this movie was designed for movie theatres because of the audio-visual experience.
