Wolf Man review fear-free update of the lupine myth lacks bite and believability
Briefly

"Horror virtuoso Leigh Whannell, screenwriter of the original Saw and writer-director of The Invisible Man, gets into an awful mess with this fundamentally muddled and unsatisfying attempt at reviving the Wolf Man."
"The film sports half-heartedly with wolfmanness being a metaphor for toxic masculinity and abusive fatherhood, but it ultimately fails to deliver on this potentially rich narrative thread."
"There’s an excellent opening prologue sequence and a very smart final shot but everything between is silly, misjudged and dull with dud storytelling and middling prosthetics."
