Our take
Werewolves is a low-budget action horror sequel where a supermoon reactivates a werewolf plague. Expect military-style gunfights against transformed creatures, apocalyptic body counts referenced in dialogue, and frequent harsh language. Gore and jump-scare intensity are moderate for the genre. Best for older teens who enjoy creature-shooter B-movies
Uplifting themes
Survival teamwork is noted, but the focus is creature combat spectacle Soldiers show bravery, yet character depth takes a back seat to action
Story (may spoil tone)
A year after a supermoon’s light activated a dormant gene, transforming humans into bloodthirsty werewolves and causing nearly a billion deaths, the nightmare resurfaces as the supermoon rises again. Two scientists attempt to stop the mutation but fail and must now struggle to reach one of their family homes.
