Abbott is a smart, soulful actor, but there’s not enough tension in his character before Blake starts changing; he seems less like a case study in latent, animalistic rage than an unlucky sap who took his family on vacation at the wrong time.

It's a bit of a sheep in in Wolf's clothing... it's just a bit dull.

Compared to The Invisible Man it's a serious misstep for Whannell. Compared to The Mummy, well, that might have been a wreck of a movie, but at least it was occasionally fun.

...Wolf Man simply states its theme of conflicted masculinity, then restates it again and again.
