Seemingly at war with itself and unable to settle on its core themes, Wolf Man is a big step down from Leigh Whannell’s first Universal Monster flick, 2020’s The Invisible Man.

It may not be Eggers’ best work, but that’s a very high bar to clear. This is a beautifully shot, handsomely mounted reimagining of the landmark silent film, with standout performances all around.

This remake of the 2022 Danish film suffers from a stultifying fidelity to the original – except in two major respects, where there has been a decided downgrade. A waste of a very strong cast.

This disposable, drab, tension-free nothing of a requel is only the first entry in a trilogy that’s already been shot. God help us.

David Bruckner’s reboot of the 80s horror staple is a little too rigid, a little too sanitized… and frankly, just doesn’t raise all that much hell. But Jamie Clayton and Odessa A’zion are terrific.

The latest entry in the long-running franchise is not entirely without merit, but enduring all of the “requel” discourse is about as much fun as watching Reddit projected onscreen for 114 minutes.

While the film’s message of (trans-inclusive) female empowerment is certainly more enlightened than the “women can’t handle ultimate power” implications of the 1996 original, The Craft: Legacy also loses much of its predecessor’s trashy fun, and doesn’t replace it with much else.

Leigh Whannell continues a successful post-James Wan career with a nervy thriller that reminds us – the terror of the unseen is the most unsettling of all.
