This might be an unpopular opinion for some, but “Wolf Man” didn’t deserve the poor reviews it received when it hit theaters on Jan. 17. Honestly, I wasn’t fond of the movie the first time I watched it, and that was probably due to my high expectations. But after a second viewing, I realized there’s a lot more to like about it, and it goes to show that it deserves a second chance now that it’s streaming on PVOD services like Amazon and Apple TV.
Director Leigh Whannell has built a solid reputation in the horror-thriller genre with movies like “The Invisible Man” and “Upgrade.” So, it was only natural that people expected the same level of greatness from “Wolf Man.” While it might not be as strong as his other work, I still think it's a compelling watch and a step in the right direction for modernizing Universal’s classic monsters.
