Critics Consensus

An unapologetically schlocky horror flick, Werewolves more or less scratches the genre itch without ever becoming the howling good time it could've been.

Guardian

Once they are done transforming, the masks or make-up or whatever the actors are clad in are so ineffectual they end up looking like a bunch of underlit extras in Halloween costumes recreating The Purge while howling.

Rated: 2/5

It’s not a good movie, but it’s a tight little time passer. Frank Grillo, who’s at the center of it (playing a ripped bruiser who is also… a molecular biologist!), has a way of making any pulp movie better.

Bloody Disgusting

It’s the type of movie that delivers exactly what’s promised: a whole lot of snarling, drooling werewolves.

Rated: 3/5

While this may be Steven C. Miller's most accomplished film to date, Werewolves is about as generic and basic as its title, playing like a hand-me-down Howling knock-off spliced with watered down Purge sensibilities...

...this one stands out for its truly remarkable special effects transformations and animatronics for the lycanthropic creatures, a combination that, although with obvious limitations, is an appetizing date for lovers of the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Pros: Frank Grillo is a good action hero and the money shot of his physique was worth it. LOL And his Werewolf-themed one-liners were on point in a funny way. Can’t remember if there was a “Big Bad Wolf” one or not, but I would’ve liked one. Practical effects Werewolves, decent gore and setting/suspense aren’t too bad. Characterization is not too bad in theory, execution was hampered slightly perhaps because of a low budget. It’s like The Purge with Werewolves. Cons: Constricted by low budget, felt like it still could’ve gone harder than it did considering how Terrifier movies are even more low budget and do more material and content stuff and even better gore . (I hate those movies but still) Story was a bit off in some ways to me. Some acting is a little hammy and just “fair” to okay. And it’s The Purge with werewolves feels like a detriment to Frank Grillo because he starred in those movies, too. But I’d watch it again. Gave my imagination stuff to process and mull over, so that was fun and cool.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
