A chilling descent into primal fear is headed your way. Leigh Whannell, the writer-director behind the acclaimed The Invisible Man, unleashes his latest cinematic terror and his second Universal Monster movie, Wolf Man, on Peacock. This contemporary reimagining of the iconic film promises to deliver a visceral and unsettling experience. It delves into the depths of human transformation and the lurking darkness that resides within.
Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things) plays Blake, haunted by his past and burdened by a fracturing marriage. Seeking escape from the urban chaos, Blake convinces his wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner of “Ozark”), to retreat to his childhood home. Accompanied by their young daughter, played by Matilda Firth, they embark on what they hope will be a pleasant escape.
However, their idyllic retreat swiftly descends into a nightmarish ordeal. As they approach the isolated farmhouse, a monstrous beast, a creature of terrifying ferocity, emerges from the shadows, shattering their sense of security. Driven by primal instinct, the family barricades themselves inside the house, desperately seeking refuge from the relentless predator that stalks them from the surrounding darkness.
Blake’s behavior undergoes a disturbing metamorphosis as the night wears on, becoming increasingly erratic and unsettling. The creeping dread intensifies, hinting at a horrifying transformation that threatens to consume him entirely.
Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum produces the film alongside Ryan Gosling. Leigh Whannell, Beatriz Sequeira, Mel Turner, and Ken Kao serve as executive producers, ensuring a seamless blend of creative vision and cinematic excellence.
