Review | 'Wolf Man' tries to teach an old werewolf new tricks
Briefly

The film presents a lot of strained symbolism with themes of father-son tensions, parenting roles, marital strife, and male rage, leading to a delayed transformation.
Director Leigh Whannell's earlier success with 'The Invisible Man' raises expectations, but 'Wolf Man' starts slowly with a prologue that feels drawn out and unnecessary.
As the narrative unfolds, it transitions from family dynamics back into the horror genre as Blake returns to his roots with a full moon looming.
The anticipated transformation and monster may eventually deliver what fans expect, but the buildup is filled with heavy themes that could alienate some viewers.
