As a seasoned movie buff with decades of watching horror flicks under my belt, I can confidently say that “Werewolves” is shaping up to be a real treat for us horror enthusiasts. The blend of practical effects and action, as teased by none other than Lou Diamond Phillips himself, sounds like a recipe for cinematic success.
Instead of focusing solely on Universal’s “Wolf Man,” which is generating a lot of buzz as the latest werewolf movie, make sure to keep an eye out for “Werewolves,” the upcoming action-horror film by director Steven C. Miller that premieres on Dec 6. As Frank Grillo described it, it’s like a blend of “The Purge” and werewolves. The movie goes back to basics, leveraging practical effects rather than relying heavily on CGI, which is quite refreshing in today’s digital age. Notably, Lou Diamond Phillips is also part of the cast, and he recently hinted at some “incredible” practical effects in a recent interview with MovieWeb.
In the supernatural thriller “Werewolves,” Phillips plays Dr. Aranda alongside Grillo. This film reveals that a dormant gene within the population is activated when people are exposed to light from a supermoon, causing them to turn into savage, bloodthirsty beings. At present, Phillips is starring in director James C. Clayton’s “Get Fast.” During our interview, he shared insights about the upcoming werewolf film, describing it as a “crowd-pleaser.” He emphasized the directors’ dedication to using practical effects for the movie and hinted at what viewers can anticipate from the forthcoming horror production.
Steven C. Miller and James C. Clayton, who both seem passionate about films, have similar creative minds. It’s intriguing if their middle initial ‘C’ signifies the same thing, but what truly matters is their shared love for cinema. I find it refreshing to see individuals involved in this field not just for the sake of making products or crunching numbers, but because they genuinely appreciate and contribute to the art of filmmaking.
Working on a set such as Get Fast or Werewolves was simply amazing due to the mind-blowing practical effects. These weren’t just computer-generated images, but real stunt performers putting in hard work in Puerto Rico, with some additional enhancements using CGI. Director Steven C. Miller is a visionary who executes his ideas flawlessly and knows exactly what he wants. Collaborating with directors like him is an absolute pleasure.
‘Werewolves’ Is Getting a Wide Release
Unlike many modern horror movies that first appear on only a few screens before quickly moving to streaming platforms, Miller’s film is taking a different route. Exciting news for horror enthusiasts as Briarcliff Entertainment is ensuring a broad release for this movie, a fact confirmed by the director just yesterday. When a fan inquired about the film’s absence on the East Coast, Miller reassured them that it will indeed be shown there.
It totally is. It’s going wide. Theater showtimes and advance tickets will go on sale Nov 22nd.
It’s terrific news for enthusiasts of werewolves, as these creatures have been scarce in major film productions recently. To witness them receiving attention is promising for the future. Also, it benefits smaller films that are not backed by big Hollywood studios like Universal. As more movies like “Werewolves” receive the same level of respect as their high-budget counterparts, it’s advantageous for the film industry, cinema chains, and fans who eagerly anticipate seeing independent films on a larger scale, rather than having to wait to watch them at home.
