In 2020, Saw and Insidious co-creator Leigh Whannell created on a new take of The Invisible Man with Elisabeth Moss, and for his follow-up, Whannell is back with Wolf Man, another film that pays tribute to another classic Universal horror monster.

In the film, Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) plays Blake, a man who has to return to his Oregon home at a cabin in the woods with his wife (Julia Garner) and daughter (Matilda Firth), but an incident on their trip leads to Blake being infected by a mysterious illness that begins to change him.

Cinema Daily US film critics Matthew Schuchman and Edward Douglas have a lively discussion about the positives and negatives about Whannell’s return to the Universal Monsters realm, which you can watch in the video review above. Note that there may be minor spoilers about the general plot and how it differs from previous versions of the character.

Film Critic : Matthew Schuchman

In the early ’90s, while at the video store with his friends who wanted to rent Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, Matthew asked the clerk if they had any copies of Naked Lunch available. A film buff from an early age, he would turn his fascination into his own review site in 2010; Movie Review from Gene Shalit’s Moustache. From there, he provided his voice to such publications as Den of Geek, Coming Soon, and Verbicide Magazine as a film reviewer and talent interviewer.
