WOLF MAN Ending Explained & Movie Review

I review, breakdown and explain Wolf Man. I discuss the 2025 movie which stars Julia Garner and is based on the original movie from 1941. I give my reaction to the film whilst discussing the ending where Blake turned into The Wolfman. I analyze the deeper themes of trauma and Blake not wanting to become his father and answer if the movie is worth watching.

What did you think of Wolf Man? I was so disappointed by it. "Presence" is out on Friday so i'll have a breakdown on that horror movie released on Monday.

[SagittariusSweet]

The story is heartbreaking and a reminder of the devastating impact of generational trauma. Themes like relationship issues and the breakdown in communication were showcased here. The cycle his dad started, he continued, in spite of his best efforts. I really enjoyed this one. Tragic film, though.

This movie was very noticed lately that people say a movie is trash just because everyone else is on that bandwagon and it hurts the move. This was absolutely a good film.

The fathers werewolf form looked more like the old friend they picked up on the way to the house

[bryguybro]

Saw it last night. I really enjoyed it for what it is, and I don’t even know if he’s a wolf-man necessarily. Definitely animal like, but the film makes zero mention of wolves - only disease and poisonous mushrooms (which may play a role in this somehow)

Whatever Blake turns into, he fights it until the end. There’s humanity in him all the way until the end, even though it’s fading.

Some have said he went to attack them in the barn, I think it’s the opposite. I think he just wanted to be close to them in his last moments of humanity. Same as when he chases them through the forest and up the treehouse. He’s got those last breaths of good in him and he wants to just be close to them. He lunges at them because he wanted the pain to end.

The father lost all humanity to begin with and wasn’t a good man. Blake was a good man.

They never mentioned what happened to the first wolf-man in the beginning that spotted Blake and his father.

Some say the movie was slow paced, but I think it went too fast. They could have explored and explained so much more and I wish they did.

This is the best review I’ve seen. You really hit all the points

[Lonelycontrast]

The movie was great, saw it this pass Saturday and I honestly thought the element of family traumas within the film was good. Yes, it was a horror movie but there were strong elements to it. Go see it, it’s worth it

Despite the many well-articulated criticisms in the comment section and in this video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie in theaters. Strange as it sounds, I found the jump scares a refreshing return to tension building horror movies from when I was a teenager. I thought the camera work was brilliant. The symbolism & themes behind the movie script are also profound and relatable to many of us.

Personally, I also appreciate the open ended vagueness surrounding the disease. Some are critical that it is not clear what the Wolfman’s weaknesses are and how “wolf” is not mentioned in the movie. There is also the open ended question over what happened to the original Wolfman (the hiker) which I like that there is no conclusion to because it is left up to the audience. Does he still stalk the woods, or did Blake’s dad kill him before becoming infected? Leaves the door open for a sequel which I do not advocate for but I still appreciate the loose ends.

The one criticism that I do agree with is I feel as if the plot of the crumbling marriage could have been elaborated on. However, that would have made this film more of a slow burn and I think that would have led to other criticisms.

Overall, I loved the film although I respect that it didn’t land with all of the audience.

The only things that bothered me about the film were how the wife “the journalist” found truck keys, a fresh car battery and knew how to jump the thousand year old truck in the driveway. She also knew how to handle and shoot a rifle. Also, when they all ran out of the house to escape in the truck, the wolf man comes out of the darkness, chases them back to the house, the front door was locked. Who locked the front door? Other than those things, the film had me at the edge of my seat. I thought it was good.

[gingersawyer]

Wow how disappointing these messages are. I found the movie really good . I was pleased with the fact it wasn't visually dark like so many are now, to the point you can't see anything. And they managed to turn the creatures without tons of makeup or cgi. The story line even managed to bring surprises in it like the return of his father. So I applaud them for bringing out a new story that held up. And personally I found Nosferatu dull and boring and too visually dark. So many times you couldn't see anything .

Snapping at ginger in the city... that kid clearly wasn't listening

[richardr]

This movie wasn't bad, it was better than I expected. Only complaint is no full moon and how it ended because I wanted to see the aftermath of the terrifying experience they went through.

[RhaenyraTargaryen]

The scar blake gets in the truck is in similar place as his father's tattoo, his arm.

[SirBillyDorseyJr]

I saw it today and actually enjoyed it. While I def can see that it wasn’t as well written or creative as The Invisible Man, I feel like this is a straightforward horror film that packs its scares and lore in well. I spent the latter third of the film on the edge of my seat. And I would see it again. The reviews are harsher than they have to be on it IMO 🤷🏾‍♂️

[myxtrsq]

i thought it was quite difficult to follow. the old wolfman was suddenly gone, it wasn’t particularly clear when Blake had become infected nor was it clear HOW you could become infected. things like that. i also wish there was more of the indigenous peoples lore and a larger focus on wolves. but i did enjoy it overall, the realisation of his transformation when he could no longer understand his family and his teeth falling out was quite disturbing, and i really appreciate the message behind it.

[QuEsT_X]

It was a good start…. And I definitely liked the message they were trying to say with the film but as you said it was some of the execution that off.

[Regret]

It's sad like the fly, but this is even sadder. I don't know why 😢

[kristenjones]

"It wasn't clear if the wolf man could go out in the daylight or not"

Yes, it was. We literally saw Grady and Blake (as a child) encounter the wolfman in the deer blind at the start of the film, and it was broad daylight then.

The indication is that once transformed you are permanently the beast. No "Full Moon Transformation" and then by day you're a mild-mannered everyman. You ARE the beast--forever.

It's likely that ppl prefer not to be out at night because A. It's dark, and harder to sense things for humans, and B. the Wolfman is fully in his element then, and as wolves are far more active at night in terms of hunting, he would be at his most focused and formidable then.

[roderick]

Yeah I personally really really enjoyed this movie but I watched this other YouTuber say that if Blumhouse and Leigh Whannell had made this a original werewolf movie unrelated to the Wolfman IP and if they had called this movie Face of the Wolf then people would be way more receptive and accepting of this movie and even as someone that really likes this movie I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly.

[gogodesu]

I thought the movie was pretty good! It was pretty intense and I do like how they added enough different things to the werewolf genre to make it seem fresh; mainly the slow prolonged transformation and especially how they handled the wolf man POV scenes.
In regard to the wolf man being able to access the house from the rooftop, he was still transforming and hasn’t gone full mindless savage beast yet.
I thought the acting was good, not amazing, and do agree it had potential for some good tear jerker moments but couldn’t quite get there.
Overall a solid B in my book and worth watching in the theaters. Great atmosphere and I thought the sound production was noteworthy.
