“Bite me…”

Werewolves (2024) released in limited theaters on December 6th 2024. The action horror film stars Frank Grillo, Ilfenesh Hadera, Katrina Law, and Lou Diamond Phillips. It runs for approximately an hour and thirty-five minutes.

Two scientists must work together to stop a mutation that turns people into werewolves a year after they were exposed to a super-moon.

Here is the trailer:

Werewolves (2024) is bad-ass B-movie fun with lots of action and outrageous bloody moments. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Frank Grillo is back and better than ever!

It’s no secret that Frank Grillo is one of my favorite actors. I loved him in The Purge films and he never disappoints when it comes to executing brutal and entertaining fight scenes. Well, he delivered in this film and then some. I was rooting for him the entire time. This guy doesn’t age and continues to be an unstoppable force. Let’s get him in some more horror flicks soon because he rocked this role and then some!

OBSESSED!

I was also happy to see Arrow’s Katrina Law in this flick and Ilfenesh Hadera was fantastic as well.

Impressive werewolves!

I was actually really blown away by the werewolves in this flick. They did a great job with the design. The fight sequences were bloody and gory (although I would have liked a touch more) and there were plenty of adrenaline-filled moments to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I love when films like this keep it simple. They could have done a lot more to explain what was going on, but I honestly didn’t need it. I just wanted to turn my mind off and enjoy it and that’s what I was able to do.

The Cons:

Silly dialogue at times.

Don’t expect to be blown away by the plot. This is a B movie and it understands that completely, which I loved. Sure, there were some details missing and some flat dialogue, but once the action kicked in, I could honestly care less. As long as you manage your expectations here, you’ll still have a blast.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Werewolves is basically The Purge with werewolves, which sounds like a dream come true…and it was! Frank Grillo delivers in this campy movie filled with absurd bloody fun.

I had such a blast watching this one!
