Our Take On Wolf Man’s RT Score
This Seems Disappointing Given The Invisible Man
For those like me who were fans of Whannell’s 2020 remake ofThe Invisible Man, theWolf ManTomatometer may come as disappointing news. I was pleasantly surprised by the deep psychological pull the director and Elisabeth Moss achieved withInvisible Man, so I was hoping he might be able to evoke similar feelings with the upcoming reboot. It seems like this is not the case, but with the audience score still to come, it is possible thatWolf Mancould at least partially redeem itself.
