New Werewolf Movies - Here's What we got! Aroooooou

It feels good to be able to write that headline “new werewolf movies”. I feel the horror genre has been starved of some lycanthropy madness. We recently got the news that Dog Soldiers 2 could be still happening, which is amazing, but as for actual werewolf films, we ain’t got none. But hey, I can now tell you that we have some already released and some coming this year!. Are they going to be any good? I have no idea, but here they are anyway. We hope you enjoy it.

BLOODTHIRSTY

A musician who has been having visions of morphing into some sort of wolf-like beast is invited to a secluded music studio. Her new songs, along with her new music producer start to bring out the beast within her.

A female-led Canadian werewolf film, pretty sure the last time we heard that was Ginger Snaps and that still holds up pretty well to this day.

Directed by Amelia Moses, written by Wendy Hill-Tout, Lowell and starring Lauren Beatty, Greg Bryk & Katharine King So

EIGHT FOR SILVER

A werewolf film from writer/director Sean Ellis ( Metro Manila, Anthropoid). Metro Manila was such a great film, a superb human drama about desperation and how far you will go to support & provide for the ones you love. I highly recommend you guys check that out if you haven’t seen it. Now, back to the werewolves

Ellis’ werewolf movie Eight for Silver is said to fuck with the genre a little bit and bend some of the werewolves rules that we have grown custom to. The story of a pathologist who goes to a small town to investigate a string of brutal murders. That’s all I know. That’s all I need to know. As a fan of Ellis, I really can’t wait to check this out.

WEREWOLVES WITHIN

I have known about Werewolves Within for some time. I am always a little sceptical when I hear the words “based on the hugely popular video game”.

Not many plot details are available, but we know it is about werewolves attacking a small town. I am not familiar with the game but I think it is a whodunit? sort of scenario where the villagers have to find out who is infected among them by taking a werewolf test, very much like we see in The Thing. Oh, it also has Harvey Guillén from FX’s What We Do In The Shadows series.

I AM LISA

Another fresh approach to the werewolf genre, only this time adding in a twist of revenge. A woman (gonna take a wild guess and say her name is Lisa) gets attacked by a sheriff and a wolf on the same night (ouch, unfortunate). She wakes in a cabin in the woods with new powers. She uses these newfound wolfy powers to get revenge on her attackers.

Looks to be part horror, part female-led revenge flick. I’m in!

THE HUNTING

A new trailer has just been released for The Hunting. A new werewolf movie set in a small rural U.S town. The plot sounds like a straightforward premise for a werewolf movie.

A detective must team up with a wildlife specialist to hunt down a mysterious creature after the butchered remains of one of the locals are found in a forest

VIKINGULVEN

Vikingulven is a new werewolf movie from Norway. This one nearly got past me but I am glad I caught it. It is getting released next week 27/08/21

A young girl called Thale starts to go through some changes after an animal attacks her and her friends at a party. Pretty much offers us nothing new in regards to plot, but being set in Norway, this could be different.

I love the idea of a Norweigian werewolf movie so I am really looking forward to seeing this one. Below is a great teaser trailer. I am guessing they didn’t use any dialogue because some folk wouldn’t dare go near a movie if they had to read it. This is a truly sad fact and I only feel sorry for those who don’t watch subtitled movies because they are missing some amazing content.

That’s it for this list. Check back soon to get hooked up with more movie and tv recommends. As always, thanks for reading.
