Trailer for the "Whodunnit with Teeth" Horror Comedy WEREWOLVES WITHIN
IFC Films has shared a fun teaser trailer for the upcoming horror-comedy Werewolves Within, which is described as a "Whodunnit with Teeth." The film is an adaptation of a video game, and the story revolves around the residents of the small town of Beaverton, who are dealing with werewolves attacking and terrorizing them.
In the film, “After a proposed pipeline creates divisions within the small town of Beaverfield, and a snowstorm traps its residents together inside the local inn, newly arrived forest ranger FINN (Sam Richardson) and postal worker CECILY (Milana Vayntrub) must try to keep the peace and uncover the truth behind a mysterious creature that has begun terrorizing the community.”
The film comes from director Josh Ruben (Scare Me) and when talking about the movie, he said:
“I grew up near the same small town where we shot Werewolves Within. As a kid, I’d freak myself out, making up monster stories, running through the woods, pretending I was Chief Brody, fighting creatures in the brush (I LOVED Jaws — hell, I loved horror). That hometown experience, where neighbors knew your business (whether you liked it or not) is so much of what makes Werewolves so personal. But, as much as I love horror movies, nothing scares me more than people. And as much as this movie is an homage to my love for Hot Fuzz, the Coen Brothers, and Arachnophobia, it’s also about the monster in all of us.
“This movie is a tribute to those of us who are resolute that good conquers evil, and that ‘being good’ is the best weapon we’ve got, against guns, knives, even claws… Sometimes, you just gotta be a good neighbor, no matter how wicked people are.”
Sounds like the kind of movie that I’d enjoy! I liked what I saw in this first teaser trailer. It looks like it’ll be a fun and entertaining horror-comedy flick!
The film stars Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, Cheyenne Jackson, Michaela Watkins, Harvey Guillen, Michael Chernus, Sarah Burns, and George Basil. It’s be released in select US theaters on June 25th, then on VOD July 2nd.
