A lil’ while back a wrote about Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, a film that was supposedly a direct-to-DVD remake of The Wolfman. Well, the movie is out now and apparently it’s not actually the remake it was reported to be, but more of a standalone werewolf flick. Also, everyone was thinking that this movie was going to be a total disaster (myself including), but reviews are in and while they are mixed, many are saying that Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is an awesome werewolf flick (shocking). Maybe I judged the film too quickly. Hmmm… Check out the movie details below:
Description:
“Werewolf: The Beast Among Us takes Universal Studios’ historic monster legacy to an all-new level of chilling action and terrifying suspense. When a mysterious creature terrorizes a village by moonlight, a local young man, Daniel, convinces a team of skilled werewolf hunters to let him join their quest to hunt it down. But as the villagers are attacked one by one and turned into vicious beasts, Daniel begins to fear that his ruthless foe is someone closer than anyone thinks.”
