Die Werwölfe von Düsterwald

In fact it is a funny movie that you don't have to take everything seriously. It is just an adventure fantasy thriller for family that brings you back in the middle age. The sceneries therefore were done really great. All the actors contributed a top performance to create this story believable to the audience.

Watch it on a Saturday or Sunday evening when you don't have anything else to do and you will see how you will relax and have a good time. If you like this genre of film so check out Le Pacte des Loups with Vincent Cassell and Monica Bellucci.

For all these reasons my wife and me rate it 6/10.

It's a well-intentioned family comedy in which the characters are pulled into the tabletop Werewolf game a la Jumanji. The tone is affable and the cast is good but the overall production is uneven. The humor lands about half the time, and when it does it's funny; but other attempts come across as cringe and forced. The premise of the Werewolf game - the players must identify and dispatch those who are secretly werewolves, while the werewolves try to divert blame to the innocent through deception and recrimination - is treated more or less as an afterthought. Potential suspects aren't investigated or built up so there are no real stakes or conflicts in trying to uncover the culprit(s) and the conclusory reveal is meh.

This works. Or atleast the classical concept that we seen before, as in "Jumanji". But this time with a "horror" twist to it and it does not makes it any better.

Not often i watch French films, so I didnt know what to expect at all. I was intrigued by this since the first teaser trailer and i saw Jean Reno was in it, one of my favourite actors and that this really fits for the October days.

This feels really bad at some moments, abit silly sometimes, but it also manages to be abit more entertaining in periods. It's definitely a family movie that works on a friday evening, but not more then that. We have seen this concept before and the manuscript is really bad, nothing new or unique at all.

Jean Reno does a good performance, but the other actors are abit worse.

You can definitely watch this with your family on a weekend, but dont really expect too much from it.

"Loups-Garous" is an enjoyable watch that doesn't demand much mental investment. It's the kind of movie where you can sit back, relax, and let yourself be entertained without overthinking the plot. The light-hearted tone, paired with witty dialogue, makes it an accessible and fun experience for casual viewers. You can also tell that the cast is having a great time bringing their characters to life, which adds an extra layer of charm to the film.

That said, the movie does leave some opportunities unexplored. In particular, the theme of family relationships feels underdeveloped. While the story hints at deeper emotional connections, it never quite dives into them, which might leave viewers craving more depth. Still, this doesn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment-it's clear that this isn't trying to be a heavy or overly complex movie.

In the end, *"Loups-Garous"* is a solid popcorn flick that delivers exactly what it promises: entertainment. It might not be groundbreaking, but it's definitely worth a watch for fans of light-hearted sci-fi or action.

Family Pack is a film that falls short on multiple fronts, making it a rather disappointing experience. The plot, which centers around a dysfunctional family trying to navigate their differences, is cliché and lacks originality. The script is riddled with predictable moments and uninspired dialogue, failing to deliver any meaningful or memorable lines.

The acting, unfortunately, does little to salvage the film. The performances feel forced and lack the emotional depth needed to make the characters relatable or engaging. Even seasoned actors seem to struggle with the poorly written material, resulting in a series of lackluster portrayals that fail to resonate with the audience. Not the worst movie I've seen, but definitely not in depth of what expected like I tell most people give it a watch and be the one to judge for yourself cause you may never know you might enjoy it more than others.
