Christopher Abbott (A holy placeThe poor) stars as a man called the Wolf Man – but before he undergoes a horrific transformation, he is the man of the San Francisco family Blake. Blake inherits his family home in rural Oregon after his father goes missing and is presumed dead. When he took his wife Charlotte (Julia Garner – Apartment 7AInventing Anna) and his daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth) to visit the place, they are attacked by an invisible animal – or monster? – and were forced into the house as their attacker got closer.
But that’s not all this family has to worry about. Blake’s injury at the hands of this unknown monster has left him infected and on the brink of metamorphosis. Check out the full trailer to see the beginnings of his sinister transformation (and a truck-based jump scare).
The Wolf Man begins in theaters on Jan. 17.
