This Critically Panned Dark Universe Movie Howls Back to Life on Streaming

Leigh Whannell, the writer behind the first three Saw features and the first two Insidiousmovies, has cemented his reputation as a great, creative figure in the horror world. He made his directorial debut with Insidious: Chapter 3 in 2015 and later delivered the highly underrated action-horror film Upgradein 2018. In 2020, Whannell released The Invisible Man, which quickly became one of the most acclaimed horror films in recent years. So, expectations for his next project were reasonably high. However, his recent project, Wolf Man, failed to live up to the legacy of his earlier works. Apart from receiving unfavorable feedback from critics and audiences alike, it also fell short at the box office. Luckily, the film seems to have found the right audience and has even claimed the top spot in Peacock's streaming charts, just a few days after it debuted on the platform on April 18.
