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 completely on the platform, and has been accessible 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 residence in Oregon. After an animal assault leaves Blake scratched up, they’re compelled to barricade themselves inside the home to outlive each the creature outdoors and Blake’s gradual transformation into one thing equally harmful.

In contrast to Whannell’s Invisible Man reboot from 2020, opinions for Wolf Man have been rather more blended. Regardless of how good the trailers regarded, different advertising and marketing for the film was type of odd; for some purpose, 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 could have performed a hand in audiences not dashing out to theaters—it made $34.9 million on the field workplace and it was punted to PVOD after just a few weeks. When 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.
