Nothing like a good horror to kickstart the year, especially one so grounded in humanity. Much of that is thanks to director Leigh Whannell, and his wonderful leading stars – Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner. To mark the film’s release we had the pleasure of speaking to all three of the aforementioned talent.
We speak with Abbott about becoming the wolf, and the use of practical effects. Garner also speaks about the vulnerability of displaying fear on screen, and Whannell talks about his influences, such as Spielberg, and bringing such depth and nuance to the genre he loves so much. Watch all three interviews in their entirety below.

Synopsis
Blake and his family are attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside a farmhouse as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognisable that soon jeopardises his wife and daughter.
Wolf Man is released on January 17thÂ
