Werewolf by Night, Therewolf by Day.
Ever looked at the moon and thought man how are you not falling on us? How does the moon stay up there? And is there really a rabbit up there? Looks more like a birthmark I have on my… way to mind your own business.
There are lots of lore that follows the moon but none more notorious than werewolves. Originating in Greek myth the lycan has become a bit of a thrope. Transformed this time not by the moon but by Hollywood, the werewolf must find new ways to stay alive.
Bring in Disney’s … I mean Marvels ‘Werewolf by Night’. A look into what marvel can accomplish if they let go of the reigns a decide to have a little fun with their properties. Gael Garcia Bernal Stars as Jack Russell (you know like a terrier) who is also(spoiler) the werewolf!
Filmed in black and white Werewolf by Night encapsulate the nostalgic feel of a by gone era of film making. Where the monsters where larger than life and the scares weren’t cheap and the effects where practical.
Ok and now a synopsis… We start with a bad ass dude dead. All the secondary bad asses get together to get the dead dude’s stone. That stone makes u the bad ass dude No.1. Daughter shows up wants stone. Bad asses laugh. They go on a hunt to kill one bad ass monster, to get the stone. They go out and kill each other. But there is one of them who is also a monster. He finds the monster that needs to be killed. They buddies!! They hatch a plan, and it goes to shit. Gets captured with daughter and then they make monster reveal with daughter in cage. Monster revealed werewolf breaks cage, wreaks havoc, and kills everyone. Gets the stone gives to daughter. then other monster comes back looking for buddy. He went that way…
The End.
Tell you this much, made me itch for more wolf movies and having seen The Wolf Man a million times I opted for the classic and lycanthrope film ‘An American Werewolf in Paris’. Followed by what I consider a masterpiece I the wolf culture cinema, ‘My Mom’s a Werewolf’. Staring the immaculate Susan Blakely and well-known gunslinger John Saxon, this early 90s video rental never disappointed.
You still here?? … … Great freakin’ movie.
3 Great werewolf films from total opposite stories. So, no matter what you are into there is werewolf movie for you. but don take my word for it. Go out take a bite, chase a car, and find what wags your tail.
