This week marks the release of “Wolf Man,” one of the first major theatrical movies of 2025. The reimaging of the classic Universal monster flick of the same name comes from director Leigh Whannell, and it’s not the first time he’s played in this particularly horrific sandbox either.
Back in February 2020, Whannell’s take on “The Invisible Man” hit theaters (but only briefly as it launched just weeks before the whole world shut down the following month), and even nearly five years later, it’s lodged itself deep in my psyche. It remains one of the most unsettling dark thrillers I’ve watched in recent years and packs one of Elisabeth Moss’ best performances.
