‘The Revenant’ is Apparently Too Gory for Some Folk

Published

on

On Monday night, a screening of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant was held for award voters and while it seems that the reception was mostly incredibly positive – we won’t know until December 4th when the review embargoes are lifted – there were some audience members who apparently couldn’t handle the violence and gore, according to THR.

Additionally, there are talks that this might be the role that finally lands Leonardo DiCaprio a Best Actor Oscar. After years and years of fantastic roles, it’d be pretty great to see him win. He definitely deserves it.

The film follows a fur trapper (DiCaprio) who is left for dead in the wilderness after an attack from both man and animal. After surviving the horrific attacks, the trapper makes it his mission to seek revenge upon those who wronged him and his family.

We’ve been covering the film here on Bloody because of how tense and vicious it looks. It also has that suspense that Gravity brought us, which gave me more anxiety than any horror film in the last several years. This looks like it’ll be the same way only on a far more visceral and gorgeous level.

Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Domhnall Gleeson, The Revenant comes out December 25th, 2015.

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.
