Critics Consensus

Werewolves Within is the rare horror comedy that offers equal helpings of either genre -- and adds up to a whole lot of fun in the bargain.

Audience Says

Werewolves Within might not leave you howling, but this is still a really solid horror-comedy hybrid with a fantastic cast.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

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

Rated: 2.5/5

Polygon

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.

Guardian

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.

Rated: 4/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

A decent oddball comedy with some other elements sprinkled in. Every aspect has something that’s at least a little off, but it just manages to pull through with its style and humor.

Rated: 3/5

Jeremy Aspinall

Radio Times

The emphasis is on wry comedy rather than visceral terror, but the twists and turns keep coming and the ensemble cast delivers the gallows humour with deadpan aplomb.

Rated: 3/5

It was a delightful movie. I don't know another word to describe it. It was the perfect palate cleanser after what's been happening in life, in the world, and in film.

Johnny Rico Starship Trooper

Not an absolutely fantastic flick, but good, even smart at times, entertainment and much better than average horror comedy, that does keep and you guessing and engaged. Don't watch - or try to forget - what's in the trailers, which have some of the funniest material.
