*”Wolf Man” star Christopher Abbott talks about the film’s daddy-daughter tenderness, behind-the-scenes jokes, and the scariest thing he left behind in 2024. The Universal monster horror written and directed by Leigh Whannell also stars Julia Garner and Matlida Firth.
Reporter: Wolf Man is scary but sweet…
Abbott: The character of Blake loves his family, loves his daughter very much. And then all of a sudden, this beast is now taking over, but yet he’s still trying to protect his daughter from himself. There’s a battle happening throughout, and that’s the fun journey the character has to reckon with.
Matilda is a nine-year-old pro. When you’re doing material like this, it’s super important to have fun between takes and not take it too seriously, because otherwise, [you could] go nuts. So we kept it light…we would just make fart jokes or something in between [scenes], and then she’d laugh, and then everyone’s happy and groovy. I think farts are hilarious.

Review: Wolf Man has a scary and sweet daddy-daughter component! And the scenes with the dual perspective within the different dimensions from Blake’s point of view and his family’s point of view was visually majestic and endearing. Plus, the thriller reminds us why sometimes we should mind our business – don’t go looking for things you don’t have any business looking for…
WATCH Julia’s full interview below!
Synopsis: Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (“Poor Things,” “It Comes at Night”) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; “Ozark,” “Inventing Anna”), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth: “Hullraisers,” “Coma”).
But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte is forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.
