This ends up being a very average movie because of the werewolf special effects but there are elements worth your time
Werewolf Castle (2021) is a United Kingdom 🇬🇧 picture that I watched on Amazon Prime last month. The storyline follows a young man whose entire village is killed by werewolves. He joins a group of mercenaries out to kill the menace plaguing the countryside.
This movie is written and directed by Charlie Steeds (A Werewolf in England) and stars Peter Lofsgard (Vampire Virus), Tim Cartwright (A Werewolf in England), Jake Watkins (Freeze), Derek Nelson (Midnight Peepshow) and Megan Tremethick (Dragon Knight).
If they did a better job with the werewolf costumes and depiction this would be an underrated gem. The settings, attire, circumstances and cinematography are excellent. It reminded me of 13th Warrior in some ways. The kill scenes are very good and contain solid gore. Some sequences are shot a bit too dark, but the overall premise and execution is very good and any flesh consumption scenes are entertaining. The entire cabin scene that sets up the ending was entertaining and a lot of fun. There's a final fight that could have been better but what happens to the main character at the end made me smile.
Overall, this ends up being a very average movie because of the werewolf special effects but there are elements worth your time. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
