Werewolf by night

 - Werewolf by night. (2022. Dir. Michael Giacchino)

Five monster hunters gather for a special hunt —whoever can snuff a monster on the loose will gain the mythical artifact know as the Bloodstone. Among them are seasoned hunters (one with 100 confirmed kills!), an unwelcome special guest and more. But everyone involved has a few plans of their own —soon, the lines between hunter and hunted will be blurred…

Surprisingly effective halloween special drawn from the Marvel comics (and thankfully keeping the connection to the bloated MCU to a minimum), and effectively functioning as an old-fashioned monster yarn. Give or take a few more modern touches, that is —from the mix of practical and cg effects to certain updates for the characters (dig Jack’s skull makeup!). Dig also delightfully ghoulish touches such as the puppeteered corpse playing host. 

A satisfyingly entertaining yarn for the spooky season!
