Fun and entertaining movie centered around the question "what if a werewolf would attack a small village"? Neither a masterpiece nor a terrorizing movie, a nice flick if you like '80s and werewolves or if your a looking for a spooky movie that doesn't scare too much the viewer.

The avarage rating and the metacritic score for this movie is an example of how much horror is still the most underestimated genre in cinema( and beyond). This movie is an averegly good horror, that rely a bit too much on cliches and ghost movements to build the mood, but that is enough well shot, well acted and well written to be enjoyable and fun. In ten years we won't look back at this movie as a game changer, but I will remember it like a fun movie. Isn't it enough to reach at least a 6.0 average or a 50 in metacritic score? I think yes, specially after i see on this website that horror masterpiece hardly reach 6.0 and that being part of marvel cinematic universe give a movie the right to at least a 7.0. Do me a favor, before you give a vote to an horror movie stopfor a second, thuink to your previous votes and ask yourself if you are being fair to the movie or just misjudging a gente.

To comment the movie i think is a nice add to the conjuring universe...if this is the lowest entry( as a lot of people say) is the signal of how much quality, despite the clear commercial intentions, this movies are bringing on screen. The movie look good and the plot, even if not really original, is a good mix of "influences" and is not boring or cringy. Some scenes are really creepy and some jump scares are really good( yes jumpscares are not necessary a sin), but the general atmosphere of the movie is not too much haunting so you will walk out of the cinema without paranoia and nigthmares( if you don't sleep with dools in the room).

Sometimes after you watched a classic movie you feel the duty to like it, to convince you that you enjoyed the silent classic as you enjoy modern movies. The reality is that sometimes if you are interested in movie you watch movies because you "have to", but after the vision, even if you understand their historical importance, you don't "get" them. But this movie is not one of those for me. I enjoyed every second of it, every frame. The art and the thoeries of eisenstein were so modern that felt like the movie was released yesterday.

Talking about the plot, in my modest opinion in this movie you really see a different concept of cinema. This is an alternative way of doing movies, no star, basic plot and only one real character: the struggle of the people. Of course this may appear as simple propaganda to many viewers, but this wouldn't discredit the art behind a movie, art is expressing ideas and this movie express an idea in the most artistic way possible.
