Universal's upcoming monster movie Wolf Man was largely inspired by iconic '80s horrors The Fly and The Shining, writer-director Leigh Whannell has revealed.
In a new interview with Empire magazine, the filmmaker, who co-wrote the script with Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum, and Rebecca Angelo, explained how The Fly's use of practical effects encouraged him to lean into the "tragedy" of the titular character's transformation.
