The domestic abuser shared universe is added to.
It is odd now that in two film based on classic Universal monsters that there has been an undercurrent of domestic abuse, if they make a Frankenstein film where he attacks the Bride then it will be even more deliberate.
The ideas behind this film are so played out and trite that you consider if it was written by AI bringing back other werewolf films, the werewolf does not want to harm his family yet is ultimately a threat to them, cue cringe metaphors about inner conflict.
Julia Garner was okay on Ozarks but she really doesn’t suit the role she is cast in here, the idea of her as a mother is a little silly, she also has next to no on screen chemistry with Chrisopher Abbot. Seeing their happy family scenes at the beginning which presages almost all Blumhouse films comes across as two people who are strangers to each but who are trying to pretend to be in a relationship.
The werewolf form also looks awful, but I won’t spoil it too much for you
Overall, a flop for Blumhouse to start the year off right
1.5/5
Pros.
It is watchable
It is not the worst thing Blumhouse has ever made
Cons.
The transformation and werewolf form
Garner
The writing
The lack of chemistry
