With his marriage fraying, Blake persuades his wife Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit his remote childhood home in rural Oregon. As they arrive at the farmhouse in the dead of night, they're attacked by an unseen animal and barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. But as the night stretches on, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable.

'Wolf Man' offers a fresh take on the werewolf genre with a realistic transformation and strong atmosphere, but suffers from a predictable story and slow pacing. Practical effects and sound design are lauded, while the creature design divides opinions. Christopher Abbott's performance is praised, but Julia Garner's role is criticized as underutilized. The film attempts innovation but struggles with narrative and character depth.
