Dean (6921 KP) rated Skinwalkers (2007) in Movies

A low budget werewolf film with a good idea but poor execution. The werewolves look quite odd and the plot is far too simple and obvious. Gingersnaps or Dog Soldiers are much better!

This is an ok introduction to Vampire fiction and a sort of sweet story, but I encountered it as an adult and was not very impressed. However at the time my teenage daughter loved it.

Received an eArc from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is a wild and wacky retalling of the Oz stories involving vampires, werewolves, and zombies.
The humor is spot on and it's just gory enough!

It took a good minute for Werewolves Within to click with me, but once it did, it was a whole bag of fun.
My initial issues with it is how frantically overwhelming the first act is. This movie is effectively Clue but with a horror twist, and as such, the introduction of a hefty cast of characters, or suspects if you will, feels a little rushed. It didn't help that every one of them felt like comic relief and that the editing style is clearly inspired by Shaun of the Dead, meaning it's choppy, and brisk. Thankfully, this doesn't last too long. Once everyone is introduced and things starts to happen, Werewolves Within slips into a genuinely funny whodunit, that's effective in keeping its secrets close to its chest, and at one point had this viewer questioning if werewolves were even part of it, or whether the unfolding events were just a big misunderstanding.
By the final act, everything has just descended into chaos, and it's hugely entertaining. This is all bolstered by it's two great and likable leads, played by Sam Richardson and Milana Vayntrub.
It's well paced and effective, funny, q little bloody, and ultimately, Werewolves Within is a blast, and well worth checking out.

Jemaine Clement, brilliant as always (1 more)
Taika Waititi, also brilliant as always
Very Funny
Decided to watch this classic again as part of my Halloween movie session. A very funny mockumentary following a bunch of vampires who all share a house and bicker over things like not doing the dishes or not cleaning up the mess after one of them has feasted on some virgins. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi are both brilliant in this. Rhys Darby also makes a very funny appearance as leader of a bunch of local werewolves and those are some of my favourite moments ("We're werewolves, not swearwolves").

Let's try this again...please disregard my previous review of this book...I wasn't paying attention and typed it on the wrong page...DUH!
I love this series! Where else can you find lesbian werewolves, half vampires, and horny demons in the same place?
Solid 4 stars!

Crystal (148 KP) rated Werewolf: A Party Game for Devious People in Tabletop Games
Dec 6, 2018
This game is definitely a party role playing game. It includes villagers who may or may not be werewolves. Each night the players who are werewolves kill another villager. Each day the remaining villagers have to accuse a werewolf. If you have 7 friends who like to gather and play games then this may be a game for you. if you have friends who are into other role playing games definitely bring this game along with you next time you get with them. The downside to this game is there is no way to play it with less than seven people.

A delicious mix of Vampires, Werewolves and the pointy end of a parasol
