IMDb plot summary: Feature adaptation of the video game where werewolves attack a small town.
Directed by Josh Ruben. Starring Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, George Basil, and Sarah Burns.
This is a wild, silly ride of a film and I never quite knew what to expect from it. But that's half the fun. The comedy is seldom as overt as it is in most horror parodies. It's clearly *there*, but the film plays its wild characters pretty straight, and it's definitely happy to lean into the horror part just as much. It honestly kept me guessing the whole way through, which is something I didn't expect at all. And for a cast of names I mostly didn't know (the few I did were sitcom staples), it's a wonderfully strong ensemble cast, building up these tiny characters into clear personalities in a short amount of time. This isn't the most amazing horror comedy out there, but it's solid all the way through.
