Wolf Man: The First Trailer & Poster For Blumhouse Film Are Here

Universal and Blumhouse have released the first teaser trailer and poster for Wolf Man, which will be released in theaters on January 17th.

Wolf Man was supposed to be released in October, and Blumhouse moved it to January earlier this year. They have had box office luck releasing in the winter, so I guess that makes sense. Directed by Leigh Whannell, this version of the classic monster film stars Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth, Sam Jaeger, Ben Prendergast, and Benedict Hardie. If this teaser trailer is anything to go by, we are in for a treat. Whannell did a great job with The Invisible Man, but this would always be a tougher nut to crack.

Wolf Man Synopsis

What if someone you loved became something else? From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they're attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte is forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

Here is the first poster as well.

Of the Universal Monsters, Wolf Man means the most to me, so I will be very critical of this. I have seen the possible look at the monster going around social media from Halloween Horror Nights, but judging a film based on a costume at a haunted house would be a mistake. The trailer is tense, and that is half the battle with this monster. Fingers and everything else I can cross for this one to be as good as Invisible Man.

Wolf Man opens in theaters on January 17th.
