A Unique Alignment With Horror & Comedy

Sometimes the best horror movies can come from a place of fun, even if it’s a bit dark and surprising at some point. Recently I had a chance to see The werewolf inside, a horror comedy with an all-star cast arrives with the perfect amount of dark humor for a fan of the horror genre like me. The film follows a ranger, Finn Wheeler, played by Sam Richardson (Veep, The Tomorrow War), who was reassigned to the town of Beaverfield only to find more work than he had bargained for. Close with him, Milana Vayntrub, Who is the player Cecily Moore, became a great contrast to Richardson’s original shy personality. The werewolf inside involves a kind of simple plot where classic detective qualities intersect with moments of pure horror cinema. When a very small group of townspeople experience a personality conflict between a missing dog and a dead body, Finn, the outsider, must try to regain order or some sort of answer.

The werewolf inside originated from the game world, with its concept coming from Ubisoft games of the same title. Games related to a similar theme; Multiple attacks from a mysterious creature prompt the townspeople to use social reasoning and investigation to find the individual responsible. The werewolf inside found a great point between the qualities that make the game so popular with players and those that underlie horror-comedies. The cast, including What do we do in the dark star Harvey Guillen, is a great choice for this movie. Each person expresses their personality in authentic ways and achieves the same effect with their humorous stories. The setting provides you with a sense of isolation from the outside world, creating an environment ripe for horror to invade. The witty and quick dialogue keeps the characters moving as their stories take separate directions.

The werewolf inside there were some kinks that should have been worked out before shooting, such as the pacing of the story itself. Sometimes it goes from understandable to frantic to catch up with the deadline it naturally has as a movie. My ultimate love for the movie, which I personally consider a cult classic in my horror lineup, has not faltered. When watching Finn work through his introduction to the town, everything makes sense and feels smooth. But as more characters get involved, it can sometimes get boisterous, in both ways that positively help the mood of the story but also in some negative ways that derail it. In the end, the lovable and amusing characters, hilarious mess, and personality made me enjoy watching. The werewolf inside again in the future.
