What the new trailer means for Wolf Man
Many new details have come to light
While the original Wolf man Teaser hinted that there would be family feud at the center of the movie, The full trailer showcases what an ordeal they will be forced through As a result of his transformation. Over the course of one difficult night, the film promises to push them to the limit, as the patriarch who promised to protect them becomes an inhuman threat. It’s unclear if the wolf man glimpsed through a car windshield in the final shot is the original beast or the transformed Blake, but either way, it seems they’re in serious danger.
[The movie uses] Lighting and color to create a kind of abstract space where [Blake] is trapped…
The trailer also reveals how director Leigh Whannell is going to elevate the material even further with his filmmaking choices. Multiple shots highlight Blake’s perspective as he transforms and becomes more and more divorced from the human world, using lighting and color to create a sort of abstract space where he is trapped as he undergoes his transformation.

Leigh Whannell gives another twist on a classic
Finally, it seems that Whannell is applying quite a few of the successful elements of The invisible man to Wolf man. This includes centering on the story of a female character played by a popular actor from a streaming series (Ozark And Invention Annas Julia Garner steps in for The maid’s storys Elisabeth Moss here). He also provides a twist on the original premise that highlights visceral terror, this time crafting a siege movie rather than focusing on the emotional plight of the titular monster, as is usually the case in previous movies in the franchise.
