It looks like 2025 is going to be the year of the Werewolf and we’re stoked about that! The first entry is Leigh Whannell’s reimagining of the WOLF MAN. We remember his reimagining of the Invisible Man in 2020, another attempt at reimagining a classic Universal Monster as well as his hits Saw and Insidious.
