It's a film that wants to please and to some extent succeeds in doing so, without ever being very funny or very alarming.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 22, 2021

Starring a delightful Sam Richardson, at its best Werewolves Within feels like a cross between the 1987 vampire film The Lost Boys and the 2002 and 2004 live-action Scooby-Doo films.

This goofy horror comedy, based on an online game of the same name, just goes to prove that if you have a great cast, smart direction and witty script you can just about get away with murder.

Werewolves Within is fun without ever rising to frightening or frightfully funny.

| Jun 30, 2021

A new comedy classic whodunnit in the honored tradition of Clue, Werewolves Within finds the laughs in the jump scare, and brings back the uproarious joy of the "it's behind you!" creeping fright.

She's equal parts angel and devil, and as the counterpoint to Richardson's plucky go-get-'em do-gooder, Vayntrub is a bedeviling ingénue who's the ideal yin to his yang.

The film possesses a strong touch of Edgar Wright in how it manages both the humor and horror of its conceit...

| Original Score: B- | Jun 24, 2021

The film becomes unexpectedly, effectively violent just when you've written it off as a glorified SNL sketch.

This overstuffed script drips with blink-and-you'll-miss-them jokes that lampoon everything and challenge nothing, least of all monstrosity itself.

Sam Richardson shows off his delightfully understated demeanor as the lone voice of reason in this town of oddballs and malcontents, proving to be the most entertaining element of a strained whodunit.
