I had very low expectations for this movie seeing it is a BlumHouse. They're good at cranking out low budget horror quickly which means we don't actually get much horror or good writing. However I was pleasantly surprised at this one! I'm not a huge werewolf movie fan as they are all slow to build up to the transition of someone becoming a wolf. This movie brought in a different take to a classic genre. No spoilers, but I did appreciate the different viewpoints of characters and the buildup. I took my kids seeing as it was only rated R for gore and they really liked it. Theater is the way to go to see this. It's a dark, quiet movie. I appreciated they didn't use music to build suspense. Sitting in silence while you tried to see around corners in the dark house was classic horror. In fact, I wish they would have had a little more of that. Overall, it's a fun watch and different take on the werewolf genre. I will add it to my collection when it comes out on disc.

Fantastic! It was a nice blend of horror and humor. One moment I was laughing, the next I was scared. The acting across the board was well done. The show actually had a good conclusion as well! Which is a shock because it seems Hollywood doesn't know how to end things anymore. Good job to the writer/s. I grew up in the 90s and remember Goosebumps book burnings. You'd like to think we've moved on from Satanic panic and can all laugh at the hysteria. However, Just a couple of weeks ago a Catholic mother I go to church with told me my habit of watching horror movies is a slap in the face of God. This movement is alive and well in 2025. So when Anna Camp appeared in the loft as Tracy(threw me back to her church of the sun days...iykyk) I got a good laugh. When life imitates art right? This show also has some good life lessons thrown in for high school teens and up. I definitely recommend the show and hope we can have more to come in this genre.
