I liked Upgrade () and Invisible Man by Whannell so I'll hold off on judgement

Despite this goofy mf

Edit:

Leigh Whannell: Well, there was a bit of a debacle this year. They did a thing where they were like, okay, we're going to have a Wolf Man appear, and I was like, what are you going to do? They're like, oh, he's just going to jump out and scare people, nd I was like, does Arjen know about this, the makeup artist? Then it all just went down and I was like, we have to stop this. I called Jason Blum. I was like, we have to pull the pin on this thing because people out there are going to think that's what we're doing. It would be like judging the Freddy Krueger makeup by a costume at Spirit Halloween. You know what I mean? There's a lot more to it. I'm like, no, no, no.

At that stage, once something gets on the internet, the horse is bolted. So I was like, let's not do this because the Wolf Man is so – when people go and see a movie called Wolf Man, they're waiting to see the creature. Let's not [mess] this up. So if they came back to me next year and said, do you want to do it again? I'd be like, show me the wolf. Show me the wolf. Let's talk about this extensively.

The funny thing is, if you're in a theme park in broad daylight - the thing is the makeup itself is one component. It's lighting. It's how you shoot it. It's where you position the actor. There's so many different things that go into it. If Jeff Goldblum was to wander in here wearing the makeup from the fly under these flourescent lights, it probably wouldn't look that great. It's how it was photographed.

So what I get concerned about when people want to do costumes and stuff like that in theme parks is like, but what are the conditions? Because if we don't control the lighting and everything, it's just not going to be – at a certain point, though, I mean, it's not yours anymore. If I'm walking through Halloween Horror Nights and I see a little jigsaw puppet, I'm like, ah, great, you know, what am I going to do? Because that puppet doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to the general public.

Tl;dr the goofy wolfman probably looks less silly in the movie
