Wolf Man Featurette Explores the Makeup Process of the Titular Monster (Exclusive)

Back in 2020, filmmaker Leigh Whannell put his official stamp on a beloved corner of horror cinema by bringing to life a fresh adaptation of The Invisible Man, which abandoned expectations to deliver something entirely fresh. The filmmaker continued that trend with this year’s Wolf Man, as he once again pivoted away from tropes in the genre to make something all his own. To celebrate Wolf Man landing on Digital, you can check out a featurette below that explores the process of how actor Christopher Abbott evolved into a horrifying monster. Wolf Man is out now on Digital and hits 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on March 18th.

Per press release, “Wolf Man contains over 30 minutes of behind-the-scenes content, including a peek at the terrifying Wolf Man transformation, breakdowns of the gnarly action & scares scenes throughout the film, and much more! Wolf Man is directed by horror-acclaimed filmmaker Leigh Whannell, and stars Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night), Julia Garner (Ozark, Inventing Anna), Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Matilda Firth (Hullraisers), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama), and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man).”

“From Blumhouse and the director of The Invisible Man comes a modern take on the classic monster story, Wolf Man. Seeking a fresh start, Blake moves his wife Charlotte and daughter Ginger to his childhood home in rural Oregon. Upon arrival, they encounter a brutal animal attack, forcing the family to barricade themselves inside the house as an unseen creature prowls the perimeter. As the night wears on, Blake’s injuries worsen, and his bizarre behavior turns monstrous. To protect her daughter, Charlotte must decide whether to confront the danger outside or the growing horror within.”
