Review:
Werewolves Within is the rare horror comedy
that hits the delicate balance between scares and laughs successfully. Director Josh Ruben smartly emulates beats
from Clue and The Thing to deliver a fun amalgam that rarely misses a
beat. Ruben establishes a strong comedic
rhythm from the start and manages to maintain that energy throughout. It helps that script is smartly written with
some great subtext lingering below the comedic exterior. The cast is stacked with familiar faces even
if they don’t have instant name recognition.
Sam Richardson and Milana Vayntrub
make up the central duo and their comedic chemistry is what makes the whole
thing run.
