Whannell, who got his big break writing and co-creating 2004’sSawand also directed the 2020 thrillerThe Invisible Man, spoke withEntertainment Weeklyabout his newest horror venture ahead of its release early next year.
Blumhouse headJason Blumtold the publication that “Wolf Manis a straight-up horror movie,” and not only that, but it is “ascaryhorror movie.”
“I think most of theWolf Manmovies that came before this have been softer,” added Blum, 55. “I don’t mean that pejoratively. I just mean that this one is pretty hardcore.”

Whannell is in good company regarding horror reboots, as his pal and longtime collaboratorJames Wanis also gearing up to direct a classic monster remake:The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
“I have rejected doing remakes as a director pretty much my entire career,” Wan, 47, recently told PEOPLE ahead of the 20th anniversary ofSaw.
According to Wan, “I had every kind of remake come my way and I turned all of them down” over the course of his two-decade career. “I rejected all of them, except forCreature from the Black Lagoon.”
“And the only reason why I feel this way is because I think I might have something special and I would not take on something like this if I don’t think I can do it justice,” he added.
