Werewolves Within

An entertaining, almost parodic variation on the style of And Then There Were None or Murder on the Orient Express that, in addition to decent acting, boasts technically adept styling and a witty directorial style similar to Simon Pegg's films. The characters are entertaining, the plot moves along, and there's a decent slaughter and a fine reveal at the end. It pains me a bit that the film is perhaps not as funny as it should be, and as a result earns "only" 2 stars, but for the kind of "crap" it is, it's a pretty decent and logical affair. (01.11.2021)

I don't really understand why Czech users here are bitching so much about this film (actually, considering what sort of people are among the first to flood every new film tagged as horror lately with their garbage, I can imagine); the average rating could easily be 20% higher. Werewolves Within is an enjoyable whodunit with a werewolf in the background that reminded me most of Ryan Johnson's recent hit Knives Out. Although Josh Ruben can never reach that level, the craftsmanship is fine, the characters are diverse and the humour is likeable, but I guess not everybody is tuned to it. Compared to last year's The Wolf of Snow Hollow, which was also a warmly received werewolf horror comedy by reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes, Werewolves Within is a masterpiece. 6+ (24.07.2021)
