This week, Slate’s Scaredy Scale takes a look at Wolf Man, a reboot of the 1941 film

Wolf Man is a reboot of the 1941 film The Wolf Man.

It stars Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner as Blake and Charlotte , a married couple who hope that a family visit with their daughter to Blake ’s empty childhood home in Oregon will salvage their struggling relationship.

Wolf Man tries to rank higher on this haunting scale, but it never quite gets there.

While Wolf Man had a lot of squandered potential, it’s still a fairly serviceable horror flick! Christopher Abbott delivers a great performance, and all the classic horror techniques are certainly employed.

Though you won’t feel petrified, you will feel, on occasion, nauseated or exhilarated.
