Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man) from a script by Chris Markus and Stephen McFeely, The Electric State follows a young woman (played by Millie Bobby Brown) who embarks on a perilous journey across the American West, accompanied by a mysterious toy robot and a roguish smuggler (Chris Pratt).

Co-writer and Director Leigh Whannell chats with FILMHOUNDS about his latest film 'Wolf Man' — which releases in cinemas on January 17. SYNOPSIS: What if someone you loved became something else? From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man. Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma). But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.
