[Sundance ’13 Review] Ryan Daley Says ‘The Rambler’ Is Both Intriguing And Bizarre
Ryan Daley has returned from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival to share his thoughts on Calvin Reeder’s The Rambler, his second feature film that’s premiered at the prestigious festival. The director of The Oregonian, best known for his astounding short films, this time tells the tale of The Rambler (Dermont), after being released from prison, who stumbles upon a strange mystery as he attempts a dangerous journey through treacherous back roads and small towns en route to reconnecting with his long lost brother.
Daley enjoyed the “Lynchian” vibe stating that “the movie skips and stutters like a hallucinogenic fever dream,” further adding, “the film never bothers to hide its Lynchian underpinnings, but the bizarre-as-shit developments are intriguing.”

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
