Werewolves Within

POSITIVES…

  • Premise is essentially like a whodunnit with a werewolf gimmick. 

  • I generally liked the wacky narrative. 

  • Silly lighthearted tone reminds you not to take it too seriously. 

  • Dialog is energetic. 

  • Fun visual gags. 

  • There's a surprising amount of social political humor and commentary. 

  • Good ensemble cast with solid work by Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, Wayne Duvall, Michaela Watkins, and more.

  • Part of the appeal with this movie is seeing how Ranger Finn Wheeler deals with all the insanity that is happening in Beaverfield. 

  • Twisty plot will encourage you to want to see it through to the end. 

  • That opening quote. Genius. 

  • Last act is just nuts. 

  • The underlying lesson in the movie is actually pretty admirable. 

  • Kudos to being a video game movie, without looking like a video game. 

  • Snowshoes.

NEGATIVES…

  • Feels overwritten at times, and tries too hard to be clever.

  • I could only take so much of the presumably purposeful overacting. 

  • Too many annoying characters. 

  • It sometimes thinks it's funnier than it actually is. 

  • Fake jump scares. Just stop it already. 

  • Some dumb plot points were just so stupid. 

  • Didn't seem like a movie that really needed all the F words.
