Much harder to expand the werewolf mythos in an interesting way compared to vampires
It's a glorified whodunnit
There's probably a dozen projects in development hell about a furry hunting werewolves, not to kill, but to trap & frick.
if it was the SBS in dog soldiers in lieu of the SAS, they would have left a smouldering, five mile crater where the werewolves were thought to have been
because you literally just have to not go outside to survive a full moon
uhhhhh wrong??? thats wrong
What would stop a werewolf breaking into your home you coomer
Nothing. I enjoy AFOHM
>contRRRolled buRRRsts
practical effects dying and no one actually willing to spend what it would take to achieve the same effect with cg. myth itself is also seen as limiting.
You need a good writer for it to work
There are some interesting movies that aren't so acclaimed, like When Animals Dream or Good Manners, but they're foreign and lack the budget. Werewolf movie needs to put everything it has into the suit or play artsy and dance around it.
Because movies about werewolves always fall into the "rabid" trap. The werewolves are big dumb brutes who rely on strength and speed to win, but winning to them is literally just to maul shit. That makes them boring and lacking depth.
Most werewolf movies take nothing from the wolf apart from how it looks, but relies too much on historical myths such as madness and savagery of men affected by rabies.
Vampires on the other hand are seen as hyper-intelligent and with personalities.
Underworld did right by werewolves by making them actual characters with depth and stories.
Have there been any productions that focus on the “whodunnit” social mystery of a werewolf like the party game?
>he doesn't know
Werewolves Within?
Yup.
There's a 70s hammer horror whodunit involving a werewolf but I forgot the name
The Howling V: The Rebirth is literally a group of people in a castle trying to work out which one of them's the werewolf before it kills them.
Wolfen
Hair gets everywhere.
We already have dog soldiers, and ginger snaps. what more could we need?
Most don't do "the split" very well. We either get too much human or too much wolf and both wind up being unlikable and boring. A werewolf movie is just a Jekyll & Hyde movie without the science.
>tfw no werewolf movie about a guy that lives in a cabin that murders deer with his pack of hunting dogs whenever he transforms
>tfw he doesn't communicate with actual wild wolves to join his pack but they turn against him when he's a human
Late Phases was great, thank you based anon from the other thread.
Is the new wolfman any good? And by new I mean that over 10 year old film with anthony hopkins
same for the xenomorph: that shit is played out
