Wolf Man

Director: Leigh Whannell
Actors: Christopher Abbott, Julia Garner, Matilda Firth
PlotIn a small, isolated town shrouded in mist and mystery, a reclusive botanist, Alex, lives on the outskirts where the dense forest looms like a silent guardian. Alex struggles with memories of a traumatic past he's desperate to forget, leading a solitary life with an obsession for his rare plant collection. His quiet existence is disrupted when a series of grisly murders plague the town, each more brutal and inexplicable than the last. While the town descends into panic and suspicion, Alex meets Claire, a sharp-witted journalist desperate to unravel the mystery. Claire is convinced there's more to the story than just animal attacks, and her investigation leads her to Alex's doorstep, sensing his connection to the unfolding chaos.
As Claire digs deeper, she uncovers unsettling evidence linking Alex to the killings. Her suspicions grow when she learns of Alex's secret project: bioengineering plants with extraordinary properties capable of altering human physiology. An unyielding sense of dread consumes her as eerie occurrences hint at an unspeakable truth that intertwines with ancient folklore about a werewolf curse. Tensions rise as Claire confronts Alex, revealing connections between his research and the fatal attacks. Their journey leads them into the heart of the cursed woods where nature and mythology collide. With danger closing in, Claire and Alex must unravel the savage legacy binding the town to its hidden horrors before it's too late, uncovering secrets that could doom or save them all.
