\u201cWerewolves Within\u201d joins the rarefied club of video game<\/a> film adaptations that don\u2019t make me want to gouge my eyes out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because its source material is a quirky comedic good time \u2014 not colder than Neptune like \u201cTomb Raider,\u201d or a dark march of zombie murder like \u201cResident Evil.\u201d Comparatively, this is swell cinema fodder. That said, a whole lotta people die in director Josh Ruben\u2019s film.<\/p>\n

A nice new ranger named Finn (Sam Richardson) arrives in the tiny, sequestered town of Beaverfield during a time of unusual turmoil. A gas pipeline set to destroy the woody environment is about to be built, the power goes out and won\u2019t be fixed for a week and residents are getting maimed and slain by a mysterious creature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There could only be one possibility: werewolves!<\/p>\n

Fostering a deep-seated belief in the mythological furballs, a bunch of local eccentrics \u2014 Finn, the mail woman (and his love interest) Cecily (Milana Vayntrub), a crafter (Michaela Watkins), the pipeline owner (Wayne Duvall) and a pretentious gay couple (Cheyenne Jackson and Harvey Guill\u00e9n) that escaped the hubbub of the city \u2014 hole up in a large house and try to figure out which person among them isn\u2019t fully human.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What \u201cWerewolves Within\u201d aims to be is a \u201cKnives Out\u201d of the horror genre, with a wacky ensemble having a blast while they play enormous characters and follow clues. They do, and their antics are enjoyable for the most part. However, unlike the Daniel Craig mystery film, \u201cWerewolves\u201d can sometimes be overly spastic and annoying. You lose patience with all the shrieking and running and accusing. The story starts to go nowhere, and some of the added small-town commentary \u2014 fear of outsiders, disdain for facts \u2014 is strained and obvious.<\/p>\n

So you won\u2019t be howling at the moon, but you\u2019ll chuckle a bit.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
