In 1995, Oregon, a hiker mysteriously disappears into the depths of the wilderness, triggering rising suspicions of a potential virus that appears to spread among the wildlife. Enter Grady Lovell Sam Jaeger, a hardened hunter, alongside his son Blake (Zac Chandler). While out in the idyllic woods, they ascend to a hunting blind where Grady, through the lens of his sniper scope, gets a fleeting glimpse of a creature darting among the trees. Unfortunately, his hesitation to take the shot becomes symbolic of deeper issues—his ruthless and stern nature creates a rift between him and young Blake, evident when he aggressively contacts for help, further unsettling his son.

Fast forward thirty years, and we find Blake grown up, played by Christopher Abbott, now married to Charlotte (Julia Garner) and raising their daughter, Ginger (Matilda Firth), in urban San Francisco. One day, while navigating the bustling city, the fragile facade of their lives cracks when a strange man confronts Ginger with an aggressive remark. Despite Blake’s efforts to shield her, his own anger erupts, causing Ginger to sob until Blake recognizes his mistake and apologizes, a moment underscoring their strained familial connections. At dinner that evening, Blake reveals to Charlotte that he has finally received a death certificate confirming that Grady is gone, though his interest in Charlotte’s professional life appears absent, intensifying their disconnect.

The following day, Blake decides to visit Charlotte at work to lay bare his feelings of despair regarding their marriage and their struggles in truly connecting with Ginger. He proposes a weekend getaway to his father’s rustic farm, hoping to heal old wounds and bond as a family. With hopeful hearts, the Lovell family embarks on their road trip to Oregon. However, upon reaching the woods, they realize that the journey has led them to a dead end. There, in the fading light, they encounter Derek (Benedict Hardie), a local who not only remembers Grady but also offers his assistance to navigate the dense forest towards the family farm.

As night settles in, a sudden ominous turn of events unfolds when a creature on two legs appears from the shadows, forcing their truck off the road and into the depths of the woods. In the chaos, Derek suffers injuries while Blake aids Charlotte and Ginger in escaping the wreckage. However, the terror escalates when the creature bursts into the truck, leaving Blake with a gaping wound on his arm and dragging Derek away into the gloom. The family narrowly escapes and heads for the house, seeking refuge only for their world to spiral into further chaos.

Once inside, Blake sets out to activate the generator while Charlotte tends to his injury. Yet, as night deepens, Blake is beset by horrifying transformations—his teeth begin to dislodge, and he becomes increasingly disturbed by the sounds of the night, including a simple spider crawling nearby and the menace lurking outside. In a chilling moment, the creature attempts to grab him through the doggie door, but Charlotte proves her worth by striking it with a hammer, buying them precious seconds.

In a desperate fight for survival, Blake succumbs to his injuries, slipping into a nightmarish state characterized by distorted vision and a near-total communication breakdown. As the wound festers, he reacts instinctively, horrified to discover himself gnawing at his own injury like a wild beast. Meanwhile, Charlotte makes a daring escape to an old truck to save both him and Ginger. As she struggles to revive the vehicle, the haunting presence of the Wolf Man manifests, smashing the windshield, propelling the family into frantic flight toward a greenhouse where they assume temporary refuge.

Amidst the tension in the greenhouse, Blake’s transformation continues, leaving him eerily altered with fur covering his body and a hauntingly feral demeanor. As a final confrontation looms, local memories come rushing back for Blake as he recognizes the tattoo on the Wolf Man’s arm, revealing a horrifying truth: the creature is none other than his father, Grady. In a tragic twist, the generational curse of a horrific sickness has passed onto Blake, blurring the lines between man and beast.

As Charlotte and Ginger flee deeper into the night, Blake—the once loving father—must grapple with the grotesque shift into primal nature. Their confrontation culminates at the hunting blind, where despite Charlotte’s desperate efforts with a rifle, it becomes a heart-wrenching battle for understanding and closure. In a desperate embrace of hope and despair, Charlotte and Ginger draw close to Blake as he succumbs to the darkness consuming him, leaving the trappings of their family in disarray.

The film closes poignantly with Charlotte and Ginger walking hand-in-hand toward the horizon, looking out over the valley that held their past—a heartbreaking testament to what was and what has now tragically transformed in the wake of Blake’s harrowing fate.
