The Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed for The Wolf Man cast includes Julia Garner, Christopher Abbott, Matilda Firth, and Sam Jaeger.

Now, the Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed for Wolf Man, calculating a 59% Tomatometer with 54 reviews. The score is likely to fluctuate as more reviews get tabulated throughout the week. Screen Rant's Alex Harrison gave the movie 6 out of 10 stars, saying "Garner's performance is the heart of this, and if the movie were told entirely through her eyes, I think you'd have the compelling layer of doubt that the film sometimes seems to want." The film does not yet have an audience score, but that will develop this weekend as the film is put in theaters.

What This Means For Wolf Man

Wolf Man's Box Office Could Be In Jeopardy

Overall, critics seemed mixed on how well the monster remake was able to sustain audience attention and carry out its messaging. Wolf Man's reviews unfortunately pale in comparison to its 1941 predecessor. This original has an impressive 91% Tomatometer and is regarded as an early cinema classic. That movie got an 80% approval rating from audiences, so it will be interesting to see how close 2025's Wolf Man can come to this high-rated original.

Is Wolf Man Connected To The Invisible Man?

2025's Wolf Man and 2020's The Invisible Man both reimagine classic Universal movie monsters as modern horrors, but are they canonically connected?

It will be interesting to see how this Rotten Tomatoes score affects Wolf Man at the box office. Blumhouse has produced some horror hits, but its January releases have been inconsistent. On the one hand, M3GAN, which was released on January 6, 2023, was a huge success for the studio. Last year, their early January release, Night Swim, had a more lackluster performance, grossing only $54.7 million worldwide. Wolf Man has a better Tomatometer than Night Swim but a far worse score than M3GAN, so it will be interesting to see how this affects its box office haul.

This Seems Disappointing Given The Invisible Man

For those like me who were fans of Whannell's 2020 remake of The Invisible Man, the Wolf Man Tomatometer may come as disappointing news. I was pleasantly surprised by the deep psychological pull the director and Elisabeth Moss achieved with Invisible Man, so I was hoping he might be able to evoke similar feelings with the reboot. It seems like this is not the case, but with the audience score still to come, it is possible that Wolf Man could at least partially redeem itself.

Wolf Man is set for release on January 17.
