Wolf Man director Leigh Whannell reveals just how much werewolf lore will be explained in the horror movie, and how to expect it to be unearthed.

Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner lead writer-director Leigh Whannell's intense and innovative reimagining of this iconic member of the Universal Monsters.

In the run-up to the film clawing its way into cinemas, GamesRadar+ asked Whannell why he thinks Hollywood is suddenly loving monsters again. "It's interesting because these trends, they happen so organically, you're never quite sure why. It's just something in the zeitgeist that seems to claw it into existence," he replies.

Wolf Man director Leigh Whannell also explains how films like American Werewolf In London pushed him to think outside the box for the transformation.
