Werewolf by Night (2022 TV Movie)
6/10
Werewolf by Night
7 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
An entry by Marvel of their Universal collection of monsters. Werewolf by Night is a special presentation that will lead in to the likes of Blade the vampire.

This black and white special is a homage to the 1930s Universal movies and the 1960s Hammer House of Horrors.

I had to remind myself that this is on Disney+.

Introducing Jack Russell (Gael García Bernal.) What is a hound of a name.

He is one of a number of monster hunters that gather at Bloodstone Manor following the death of their leader. The task is to engage in a deadly competition to find a powerful relic.

Jack is not interested in the relic, he is looking to free a monster. Only to unleash another different kind of one.

Directed by Michael Giacchino, better known as a composer. This had a bit of a cheap look about it. The black and white hue reminded me of Young Frankenstein somewhat.

The less is more style actually works in its favour. The transformation sequence is the anti American Werewolf in London, done in silhouette.

When it gets going it does become fun and bloodthirsty. It just takes a while to get going.
