Leigh Whannell follows ‘The Invisible Man’ with another update on a classic from the Universal archives, unfolding in an isolated farmhouse in the Pacific Northwest.

Wolf Man debuts in US theaters tomorrow, January 17, and will serve as a reboot of the iconic 1941 Universal Monsters movie The Wolf Man. The new film features Christopher Abbott as Blake Lovell, the man who transforms into the titular monster following an encounter with a mysterious creature.

Fans of “SCTV” may remember a “Monster Chiller Horror Theatre” episode in which Joe Flaherty’s late-night host, Count Floyd, mistakenly programs a made-up Ingmar Bergman film, “Whispers of the Wolf,” thinking it’s a simple werewolf picture instead of a moody, existential mashup of Bergman’s “Hour of the Wolf” and “Persona.”
