WOLF MAN Trailer Brings Bloody and Howling Horror to Oregon Woods
Werewolves are some of the best creatures in horror. A person who can turn into a hairy and howling creature ready to rip apart anything in its path is indeed a vibe. The werewolf is just as much of a scary story and Halloween staple as vampires, witches, and goblins. So there’s no surprise that there are still movies telling the story of a person (usually a man) who transforms into something deadly and dangerous. That’s what we get in the first teaser trailer for Universal Pictures’ Wolf Man. I really wish it was coming out in October instead of January because it gives Halloween energy.
Prior to this clip’s release, Universal revealed a first look at Wolf Man’s werewolf design at Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando. And, well, people were not super jazzed about how it looked. Fans were hoping that this design wouldn’t reflect what we’d see in the actual movie. Sadly, the Wolf Man teaser trailer doesn’t give us a clear look at the creature. Perhaps we will get more of a look when the full trailer drops.
Here’s the synopsis for 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 will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.
What Is the Release Date for the Wolf Man Movie?
Wolf Man will hit theaters on January 17.
