How to Make a Werewolf

Written and directed by Dr. Omar Reid, 2024's How to Make a Werewolf is a action horror feature that stars Jace A. Edwards, Melahnie Bagley and Miles Nelson.

The story focuses on a teenager Xen who is grieving from the sudden death of his sister. A chance encounter with Aana, a dark arts practitioner, offers him a shot at vengeance against those who did his sister wrong. Drawn into a world of magic, ritual and retribution, Xen must navigate the blurred lines between justice and revenge, deciding how far he'll go before an unspeakable evil consumes him entirely.

How to Make a Werewolf is a potent monster movie, one that soars above its own weight. The characters are rich, the story poignant and the central theme of revenge whilst slowly giving into the darkness is handled perfectly. The zany yet drippy cinematography sets the right atmosphere while the makeup hits it right out of the park. With those penetrating red eyes and those sharp fangs, the werewolves in this film will give the Underworld series a run for its money.

How to Make a Werewolf is a fantastic urban horror film that succeeds in giving you the creeps. The acting is great, the makeup ghoulish and the villains are to die for. Step into Atlanta's seedy underbelly with a film that not only does the werewolf lore justice but also goes a step further in showing how modern horror films should be made. We give the film five stars out of five.

This was life changing, after this movie I realised that the bar for movies was far too low. This is the standard. This is the epitome of film craft and the utmost level of acting, camerawork, screenwriting, screenplay, script, character building, choreography, world building, plot.

This movie could pass as a Scorsese if someone told me. When I first watched this movie I thought it was directed by Christopher Nolan. The acting talents of "diddywolf" reminded me of mr ice cube himself.

10/10 watch would recommend to everyone; this is a classic and a must watch for everyone. If you haven't watched this movie you haven't experienced true cinema.

This was the worst movie I've ever watched 😭

If you're expecting the 6.+ rating to be an indication of something wonderful to watch, better than say any A-list Hollywood flop with the 5.4 on imdb, then disappointment is about to fill you popcorn bucket. The inflated rating is a mystery. Probably nothing to do with false reviews. This is a prime example of 'I got a camera for Christmas' movie junk. The photography is atrocious. I lost count how many times the principal subject was out of focus, the actors barely in frame and the camera was only devoid of any dramatic impact but left us gazing at, nothing. Lighting? None evident. Acting skills? Little noteworthy. Story? Perhaps with a competent writer and a massive budget increase something could be salvaged. I wish the cast and crew all the best with future endeavours. For you the audience, don't waste your eyeball skin. It isn't even bad enough to be good bad.

This Movie is a thrilling ride set in the vibrant city of Atlanta, where ancient powers and secret societies clash in an electrifying battle for supremacy. The film brilliantly weaves modern urban energy with riveting, ancient rivalries. The action is intense, the horror is gripping, and the secretive underworld is intriguingly portrayed. A must-watch for fans of genre-blending excitement.

The film blends pulse-pounding action with chilling horror, immersing viewers in a world of hidden rivalries and modern chaos. A thrilling watch that masterfully combines urban energy with dark, mysterious lore.

"How to Make a Werewolf" is a fun and clever indie flick that brings a fresh take on the werewolf genre.

It's got a raw, DIY feel that makes it stand out from more polished films. If you're a fan of werewolves or just looking for something a little different, this movie is definitely worth a look.
