Today is January 7 and the next full Sun Myung Moon is n’t until January 13 , but Universal has decided today ’s the day to reveal the shift scene fromits newWolf Manmovie , which open January 17 .
The “ man becomes wolf ” moment is a important succession in anywerewolf pic — Rick Baker ’s visceral work inAn American Werewolf in Londonremains the all - time title-holder , even after four decades — and though fans knewWolf Manwould inevitably submit its own version , it ’s still a little odd to get a glimpse of Christopher Abbott ’s fictional character going through all that hairy agony out of setting .
Still , props to the sound designers . That is a lot of icky - squicky bone snaps to inject into your earhole ! Here ’s the clip :

It ’s kind of too dark to really see details — excellent ululation , though — so mayhap director and atomic number 27 - author Leigh Whannell , who also made the 2020Invisible Manremake , also includes a dissimilar shift tantrum with sound lighting ? There ’s only so much you’re able to do in the wood , even with a full moon .
That ’s Abbott(Poor Things)you see there , playing Blake , a man who returns to his childhood house in rural Oregon , where he ’s confab by his estranged wife , Charlotte ( Julia Garner ofThe Fantastic Four : First Steps ) , and young daughter ( Matilda Firth ) . As the moving-picture show ’s synopsis narrate us , the home is “ attacked by an unseen creature and , in a desperate escape , block themselves inside the home as the brute lurch the margin . As the night stretches on , however , Blake begins to behave strangely , metamorphose into something unrecognizable , and Charlotte will be forced to make up one’s mind whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the peril without . ”
Wolf Man‘s tag origin call “ a new era of terror is here , ” though from what we ’ve see so far ( including the above scene ) , there ’s not a hook as distinctive as Whannell ’s re - imagining ofInvisible Manas an larger-than-life tale of gaslighting followed by some very hard - garner revenge . But who knows what wrench may yet appear amid the image ? Find out whenWolf Manhits dramatics January 17 .
