Wolf Man Howls Onto Peacock This Month

Common and Blumhouse’s Wolf Man hit theaters again in January, and now it’s coming to Peacock on Friday, April 18.

The Leigh Whannell-directed reboot will stream solely on the platform, and has been obtainable to hire or purchase on Apple TV and Prime Video since February. Within the movie, Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner play a pair who take their daughter to Blake’s (Abbott) childhood dwelling in Oregon. After an animal assault leaves Blake scratched up, they’re pressured to barricade themselves inside the home to outlive each the creature outdoors and Blake’s gradual transformation into one thing equally harmful.

Not like Whannell’s Invisible Man reboot from 2020, critiques for Wolf Man have been rather more combined. Regardless of how good the trailers appeared, different advertising for the film was type of odd; for some motive, Common launched a pre-release clip of Blake’s gnarly transformation (which isn’t till fairly late within the movie!), and featured a design for the titular creature throughout final 12 months’s Halloween Horror Nights. Each of these might have performed a hand in audiences not speeding out to theaters—it made $34.9 million on the field workplace and it was punted to PVOD after a couple of weeks. In case you haven’t seen it but, that is nearly as good a time as any to see what all of the fuss wasn’t about.
