Werewolf movies have been a staple of horror for decades, embodying the primal fear of losing control and becoming a beast. Whether it’s the gothic tragedy of The Wolf Man (1941) or the groundbreaking practical effects of An American Werewolf in London (1981), these films have cemented themselves as cultural icons.

But here’s the thing about werewolf movies—they rarely go stale. Even the bad ones have a certain charm, tapping into the visceral thrill of seeing humans transform into monsters under the glow of a full moon. There’s something timeless about this subgenre, whether it leans into campy B-movie territory, deep psychological horror, or full-throttle gore.

With Wolf Man (2025) now in theaters (and not doing too well), it feels like the perfect time to take a closer look at some of the most notable werewolf films from the 2010s to today. As someone who loves this genre so...

There’s something delightfully audacious about a film that knows exactly what it is and revels in the absurdity of its premise, and Werewolves certainly begins with that promise. Directed by Steven C. Miller, this dystopian action-horror hybrid introduces a world where humanity is plunged into chaos every time a supermoon rises, triggering a lycanthropic pandemic. It’s a premise that practically howls for gleeful mayhem, and yet, despite flashes of potential, the film frustratingly trips over its own paws.

Frank Grillo leads the pack as Dr. Wesley Marshall, a molecular biologist moonlighting as a rugged action hero, a trope so gleefully self-aware it borders on parody. Grillo has a natural charisma and an ability to elevate even the most ludicrous of scenarios, which serves him well here. Wesley, a man of science and shotguns, finds himself trying to protect his late brother’s family from the werewolf plague while...

In Steven C Miller’s intermittently effective film a supermoon turns those exposed to its light into werewolves – or rather people wearing hairy Halloween masks

Intermittently effective but grindingly repetitive, this lupine-themed horror posits a world where nearly a billion people have died after a supermoon turned anyone exposed to its light into a werewolf. A full year has passed, and in an unnamed city folks are preparing for yet another supermoon-werewolf apocalypse by securing their homes with booby traps and arming themselves to the teeth.

Sensitive yet studly former soldier turned scientist Wesley (Frank Grillo) takes leave of his widowed sister-in-law Lucy (Ilfenesh Hadera) and her daughter Emma as he heads off to help out in a special experiment. At a facility nearby, a team of boffins have developed a kind of “moonblock” that is designed to stop the reflected rays from Earth’s largest satellite from turning people into snarling,...

Prepare for chaos as Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves brings an adrenaline-fueled blend of action and horror to digital platforms from 13 January, with a DVD release to follow on 3 February. Starring Frank Grillo (The Grey), Katrina Law (Arrow), and Lou Diamond Phillips (Courage Under Fire), this nail-biting film pits humanity against an uncontrollable force of nature unleashed during a supermoon.

Set in a world where moonlight on a supermoon triggers a horrifying transformation in humans, turning them into ravenous werewolves for one night, Werewolves explores a global crisis through the eyes of former marine Wesley Marshall (Grillo). Leading a rapid response team, Marshall must join forces with scientists Dr. Aranda (Phillips) and Dr. Amy Chen (Law) to find a cure before the cycle of destruction spirals out of control. As the next supermoon looms, Marshall’s mission becomes deeply personal as he battles both the creatures outside and his own...

Two years have gone by since we heard that director Steven C. Miller (Silent Night) was heading into production on a werewolf horror film that, at the time, was going by the title Year 2. Last month, the film was given a wide theatrical release in the United States under the title Werewolves – and over the holidays, it was also given a VOD release. Now, we have learned that Werewolves will be reaching Blu-ray on February 4th, and copies are available for pre-order at This Link!

The Blu-ray release will have deleted scenes and trailers as special features.

Werewolves, originally titled Year 2, begins a year after a supermoon turned everyone who was exposed to it into a werewolf. For those who aren’t familiar with the term, a supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is at the closest point to Earth, they have a dramatic effect on things like tides, but this one goes further than that. It unlocks mankind’s latent werewolf gene, causing unimaginable chaos and death. And now it’s about to happen again.

When we first meet Wesley Marshal he’s busy setting up defences at the home of his sister-in-law Lucy and her young daughter, Emma. They need the help because Wesley’s brother was a firefighter, killed in the line of duty during the first transformation.

Werewolves (2024) is a gripping horror thriller directed by Steven C. Miller. The film is set in the aftermath of a catastrophic Supermoon night, during which one billion people were transformed into werewolves. Scientists predict the horrifying phenomenon could repeat the following year, spurring them to develop a solution to prevent DNA mutation triggered by moonlight exposure.

However, the temporary cure has significant limitations, leading to chaos in the research lab as it proves insufficient. Amid the turmoil, two scientists, Amy and Wesley, embark on a desperate journey through the city, evading relentless werewolf attacks. Their mission is to reach Wesley’s brother, Sean, and his family to protect them from the looming threat.

Werewolves (2024) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis:

One year ago, a Supermoon triggered a global event. In an interview, Dr. Aranda explains that a supermoon event occurs when a full moon is in its closest orbit to the Earth.

A lot of soap actors have moonlighted for other projects over the years including Christmas films and horror movies among other genres. But sometimes an actor just wants to support their friends who are pursuing projects, and Days of Our Lives star Dan Feuerriegel, who plays Ej on the soap, is one of them. He recently used his social media platforms to help promote a cool werewolf film.

He Had a Howl Lot of Fun

While it doesn’t appear that Feuerriegel has anything to do with the new horror film Werewolves, he certainly helped promote it by posting several pics on Instagram and writing, “Unleash the beast!

Sunday update: Walt Disney Studios’ “Moana 2” continued to dominate the box office in its second weekend, taking in a projected $52 million domestically as its worldwide total reached $600 million. It shattered “Frozen II’s” post-Thanksgiving weekend record, which grossed $35.1 million in the first weekend of December, 2019. Universal’s “Wicked” is second with $36.4 million, followed by “Gladiator II” with $12.6 million, “Pushpa 2 — The Rule” with $9.3 million, and “Red One” with $7 million. Among new openers, “Solo Leveling: ReAwakening” made a splash with $2.4 million and A24’s “Y2K” disappointed with just $2.1 million.

Friday update: As expected, there won’t be much movement in the post-Thanksgiving box office rankings. “Moana 2” is projected to hold the top spot again, taking in around $60 million, which would be the highest numbers ever for the first week of December. The current record-holder is 2019’s “Frozen II,” which grossed $35.1 million. “Wicked” is poised to come in second place with around $32 million,...

“Werewolves” is your basic, everyday lean-and-mean dystopian werewolf-as-zombie action thriller, with elements lifted from the pandemic and the “Purge” films. It’s not a good movie, but it’s a tight little time passer. Frank Grillo, who’s at the center of it (playing a ripped bruiser who is also…a molecular biologist!), has a way of making any pulp movie better. He’s like a brainy Charles Bronson. And the plot is simplicity itself, and efficiency too: On the night of a supermoon (that’s when the full moon comes closest to Earth), people all over the globe are transformed into towering werewolves if they look at the moon for so much as one second. Talk about a good reason to stay home and stream something.

How are the werewolves? Cheesy in a fun way. As in self-consciously old-fashioned, or maybe just lavishly threadbare. A lot of people now...

Steven C. Miller has directed a movie with a concept that is, simply put, fuckin’ cool.

“Werewolves,” written by Matthew Kennedy and now in theaters via Briarcliff Entertainment, is about a world where the annual supermoon turns everyone outside into huge, hungry werewolves that rip apart anyone in their path. Luckily, Frank Grillo plays a ripped scientist who is close to a cure, but also has to worry about keeping his family safe during yet another supermoon. There’s tons of in-your-face werewolf action, big guns and lots of blood and guts in this throwback flick that would feel right at home in a drive-in double feature.

Miller has plenty of experience with both action and horror films, directing movies like “Mauraders,” “First Kill” and “Silent Night” and working with big names like Sylvester Stallone and Nicolas Cage. He spoke with Variety about the joy of practical effects, how microbudget...

Steven C. Miller’s lycan action-thriller Werewolves is a little bit Dog Soldiers, a dash of The Purge, and a decent amount of howl-and-gun excitement. It’s high on indie spirits but not clear of shortcomings. Miller’s further return to the horror genre after 2022’s smarthouse slasher Margaux feels tethered to his prior run of shoot-em-up Bruce Willis collaborations and too serious for its good. Legendary SFX artist Alec Gillis designs all the film’s snarling monsters, a highlight of Werewolves, but something else is missing from the experience that prevents this scrappy creature feature from breaking into the furry subgenre’s upper echelon.

Frank Grillo stars as Wesley Marshall, the hunky molecular biologist for a rapid response team trying to cure the world of a global werewolf event. Once a year, a supermoon alters human DNA and turns anyone into a mythical wolf-person. Under program honcho Dr. Aranda...

Presented by Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, Bloody Disgusting is looking to the stars and howling at the moon with Werewolves Week. Today, Rachel Reeves takes a bite out of seven under-seen werewolf movies you don’t want to miss.

Werewolves have long prowled the shadows of horror cinema, their natural knack for a meaty metaphor and fur-clad ferocity captivating audiences for generations. While classics like An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, and The Wolf Man often lead the crowded werewolf genre pack, it also teems with lesser-known gems waiting to sink their teeth into new fans.

From campy cult favorites to atmospheric thrillers brimming with eerie allure, the enduring appeal of the werewolf metaphor lies in its raw exploration of duality—the primal versus the civilized, man versus the beast. It’s a vessel for themes of transformation, rage, addiction and identity, resonating with anyone who has wrestled with their inner demons.

Blending the lycanthropic horrors of The Howling with the chaotic carnage of The Purge: Anarchy, Steven C. Miller's new movie Werewolves is now sinking its teeth into cinemas, introducing viewers to a haunting world where being exposed to the light of a supermoon turns people into ravenous werewolves for one night.

Daily Dead recently had the pleasure of talking with star Frank Grillo about working on the atmospheric action horror film, including how the script reminded him of The Purge: Anarchy, the authenticity of working with practical effects, and the fun of starring alongside Katrina Law.

Synopsis: In Werewolves, a supermoon event has triggered a latent gene in every human on the planet,...

One day after Krampusnacht, it is now officially The Feast of St. Nicholas (aka Saint Nicholas Day), and the horror genre is delivering big time with Eleven brand new movies today!

Here’s all the new horror released on Friday, December 6, 2024!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

Hold onto your butthole, there’s a new killer dino flick in town. Well Go USA has released their horror-comedy The Invisible Raptor in select theaters and on Digital outlets today.

In the film, “After a top-secret experiment goes wrong, a hyper-intelligent invisible raptor escapes the lab and begins wreaking havoc in the surrounding neighborhood. When the creature’s identity is uncovered, it soon becomes clear that a disgraced paleontologist—alongside his ex-girlfriend, an unhinged amusement park security guard, and a local celebrity chicken farmer—is the town’s only hope for surviving the raptor’s ravenous rampage.

Director Steven C. Miller‘s latest, the action-horror creature feature Werewolves, drew early comparisons to The Purge based on its premise and its star, Frank Grillo. From its opening sequence that sees Lou Diamond Phillip‘s Dr. Aranda deliver the proper setup and worldbuilding for the madness ahead, however, it’s clear that Werewolves has more in common with the “anything goes” spirit of ’90s action horror films like Full Eclipse, Project Metal Beast, and even Blade. While Miller takes the action and werewolf effects with utmost seriousness, Werewolves just wants you to have fun. More importantly, it’s the type of movie that delivers exactly what’s promised: a whole lot of snarling, drooling werewolves.

Written by Matthew Kennedy, Werewolves introduces a world where a supermoon triggered a gene mutation that transforms people into werewolves if they step out into the moonlight. One year later, with another supermoon looming,...

Silent Night director Steven C. Miller‘s latest doesn’t just feature a single werewolf on the prowl, but dozens in action horror movie Werewolves. It’s the type of setup that’s exciting for werewolf fans yet daunting in scope due to the stunts and creature work required.

It’s also exactly what excited Miller about Matthew Kennedy’s script. “The writer just brought it to me pretty early on, and so I fell in love with it instantly,” Miller tells Bloody Disgusting. “I couldn’t believe how much mayhem was happening in the script, especially with the werewolves. I was baffled that we were going to try to get this many werewolves on screen. So, I fell in love with it right away. The process really was trying to find people that actually wanted to make it. Because I’m sure you’re aware that in Hollywood, for some reason,...

The tagline for Werewolves didn’t need to be anything more “Frank Grillo Werewolf Movie” because as fans of Action’s B-Movie Megastar, that’s all we needed to know. You like Frank Grillo? You like Werewolves? Well good news, fellow Venn Diagram movie fan, we’re getting it all in Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves!

Now I know we’re all worried about Climate Change, but have any of us taking a second to consider that while the Earth has us looking to the right, the Moon is coming in for the kill to the left?! That’s essentially the premise of Werewolves. In the near future, a cataclysmic event is brewing that threatens life as we know it. Thanks to a Supernatural Super Blood Moon, anyone caught under the silver glow of that big rock in the sky is suddenly transformed into a snarling beast. And in an...

Blending the lycanthropic horrors of The Howling with the chaotic carnage of The Purge, the new movie Werewolves sinks its teeth into cinemas beginning tonight, introducing viewers to a haunting world where being exposed to the light of a supermoon turns people into ravenous werewolves for one night.

Daily Dead recently had the pleasure of talking with director Steven C. Miller about making the kinetic action horror movie, including working with Frank Grillo, collaborating with practical effects legends Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr., and his desire to continue expanding the universe of Werewolves in future films!

Presented by Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, Bloody Disgusting is looking to the stars and howling at the moon with Werewolves Week. Today, Jenn Adams takes a look at the funny side of the werewolf sub-genre: the hairy horror-comedy.

The act of becoming a werewolf is deadly serious—arguably horror’s most painful mutation. The body writhes and screams while elongating and sprouting fur. Claws appear where fingernails once were and the face becomes an animal-like snout equipped with whiskers, fur, and gnashing fangs. Given the screaming poor souls we see undergo this transformation, it’s safe to say the process hurts. So why then are so many modern werewolf movies played for laughs?

Yes, some entries in this curious subgenre are quite dramatic, examining the duality of man or female sexuality, but other titles are among the genre’s most beloved and successful horror comedies. Like peanut butter and chocolate,...

Werewolves seem to be going through a bit of a comeback. From The Wolfman to The Beast Within, it certainly feels like there’s more happening within the subgenre than ever before. Yet they do often feel very…samey. They often involve a man being bitten by a mysterious creature and then having to fight the urges of his werewolf counterpart. This is why it’s so exciting that we’re finally getting a film involving Werewolves that breaks the mold and does something different. And boy oh boy is it different. With an entire planet filled with Werewolves and practical FX that are sure to satisfy, this is the Werewolf movie we’ve always wanted. You can check out my glowing review of Werewolves Here.

I was fortunate enough to talk to star Frank Grillo and director Steven C. Miller about all things Werewolves. Grillo is always the man...

Plot: A supermoon event has triggered a latent gene in every human on the planet, turning anyone who entered the moonlight into a werewolf for that one night. Chaos ensued and close to a billion people died. Now, a year later, the Supermoon is back…

Review: It feels like werewolves are going through a bit of a resurgence. It may not be as crazy as slashers in the early 80s or zombie films in the 2000s, but it’s hard to deny. From The Beast Within, Werewolves Within, to The Wolf Man, lycanthropic endeavors seem on the rise. And who better to lead some Werewolf mayhem than action star extraordinaire, Frank Grillo! In Werewolves, a supermoon event turned anyone who touched moonlight into a werewolf one year prior. Billions of people died and it was a global tragedy. Now, the Supermoon is back and the world must prepare for the monster mayhem to come.

Presented by Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, Bloody Disgusting is looking to the stars and howling at the moon with Werewolves Week. Today, Luiz H.C. explores the evolution of the werewolf/wolfman throughout cinema history.

Werewolf stories are much, much older than most folks seem to realize, with some of the earliest examples of lycanthropy dating all the way back to ancient Greece (though some scholars argue that wolfmen were already present in the Epic of Gilgamesh). That’s why I’ve always found it fascinating that much of what we’d consider to be the basis for modern werewolf mythology and iconography was actually made up by genre filmmakers.

From full moon transformations to pentagrams marking potential victims, werewolf lore is continuously being expanded by screenwriters attempting to make sense of thousands of years of oral tradition. And in honor of Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves in theaters...

Moana 2‘s “Hauʻoli lākou” aka good luck continues this weekend as it eyes a $60M second frame.

For the post-Thanksgiving first weekend of December, that’s an absolute mind-blowing record for a No. 1-ranking title, whether holdover or new release. The previous high for this frame was in 2019, when the third weekend of Frozen 2 cleared first place with a third-weekend $35.1M take, -59%. Understand, this coming weekend is traditionally a dead zone as audiences, particularly women, get distracted by holiday activities.

Moana 2‘s second weekend is looking to be around -57%; the first 2016 film eased by 50% in the post-Thanksgiving period with a $28.2M second weekend.

Given the prospects for bad business during the post-Thanksgiving weekend, studios sidestep any tentpole openings; the last notable debut was in 2003, when Warner Bros’ Tom Cruise epic The Last Samurai posted $24.2M. Last year at this time there was AMC Theatres’ Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,...

A supermoon triggers a latent gene, transforming anyone and everyone whose skin touches moonlight into a feral beast in Steven C. Miller’s (Silent Night) Werewolves. That premise alone highlights the scope of ambition and challenges for an independent action-horror feature: Frank Grillo fighting his way through hordes of werewolves requires a lot of stunt and creature work. Luckily, Werewolves boasts a lot of talent on screen and off in delivering just that, including SFX legend and werewolf designer/effects creator Alec Gillis of Studio Gillis.

Gillis’ expansive career has given horror fans no shortage of cherished movie monsters, from the Aliens to Predator to the eerie monster in Smile and Smile 2. Yet despite such an impressive career, Werewolves marks a major first for the artist. “Technically, it’s my first werewolf. Although,” Gillis points to a mask in his office when speaking with Bloody Disgusting via Zoom, “this...

Presented by Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, Bloody Disgusting is looking to the stars and howling at the moon with Werewolves Week. Today, Jenn Adams sprouts claws and explores the history of werewolf women in horror cinema.

Werewolf folklore has existed since the dawn of recorded history, with each diverse culture creating its own variation of humanoid wolves who emerge from the skin of seemingly ordinary men. Reflecting the dual nature of humanity, most tales involve deception and betrayal, with creatures presenting as friends and neighbors before transforming into beasts under the light of a full moon. Modern interpretations have begun to use this horrific allegory as a vehicle through which to explore the experience of womanhood.

Female werewolves often exhibit uncomfortably aggressive sexuality and buck the expectations of well-behaved women. Many iterations feel quite liberating and present the female werewolf as an aspirational goddess embracing carnal desire, while others...

Presented by Steven C. Miller’s Werewolves, Bloody Disgusting is looking to the stars and howling at the moon with Werewolves Week. Today, Luiz H.C. grabs a handful of silver bullets as he revisits six iconic werewolf deaths in horror history.

Personally, I’ve always found monster movies to be more thrilling when they give the protagonists a fighting chance. This tiny sliver of narrative hope usually comes in the form of a specific weakness that can be exploited in order to defeat whatever creature happens to be attacking, with one of the most famous examples being werewolves’ “allergic reaction” towards silver – with even young children being aware of this fatal weakness.

However, there’s more than one way to skin a cat (or a lycanthrope), and in honor of Steven C. Miller’s upcoming Werewolves, which depicts a world where a Supermoon event has turned millions of people into monsters,...

Frank Grillo hypes up the violence in his new horror movie Werewolves. Werewolves is a creature-based horror film about a duo of scientists who are working to stop a mutation that transforms people into werewolves a full year after they encounter a super-moon. The film is directed by Steven C. Miller and written by Matthew Kennedy. It features a leading cast including Grillo, Katrina Law, Ilfenesh Hadera, James Michael Cummings, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kamdynn Gary, Lydia Styslinger, and James Kyson. Werewolves is set for release this Friday, December 6.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Grillo reveals why Werewolves had to be dialed back from its original version. Upon reading the script, Grillo reports calling the director and saying that the film was like "The Purge meets werewolves." Because of the level of violence in the movie, the Werewolves team had to "kind of tone it down." They also had...

Frank Grillo and Steven C. Miller are bringing a unique twist to an iconic horror monster in Werewolves. After making his debut with the grisly horror movie Automation Transformation, Miller went on to find success directing both horror and action projects, including 2012's Silent Night, a remake of the 1984 cult classic, and multiple Bruce Willis movies, including 2015's Extraction and 2017's First Kill. Grillo is similarly known for his work in both genres, namely starring in multiple installments of The Purge franchise and playing Brock Rumlow/Crossbones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Rick Flag Sr. in James Gunn's upcoming DC Universe reboot.

Grillo stars in Werewolves as Wesley Marshall, a biological scientist and former special ops soldier studying the supermoon event that occurred one year before the film's start, in which every human on the planet had a latent gene triggered that turned millions into the titular creatures...

Directed by Steven C. Miller and starring Frank Grillo, Werewolves follows a group of scientists who are trying to stop a mutation that turns people into werewolves during a super moon. Blending action and horror, Werewolves is the type of movie that delivers exactly what it promises: 90 minutes of exhilarating, turn-your-brain-off fun.

Steven C. Miller Werewolves Interview

Yet as influential as the werewolf subgenre is for horror, it’s not one that sees many new entries. You might see dozens of vampire movies or zombie movies in any given year, but very few — if any — werewolf films. Werewolves director Steven C. Miller explains why he thinks more filmmakers don’t attempt to tackle the werewolf subgenre:

“First of all, they’re just hard to make,” says Miller. “They’re difficult to get right, so I think that deters a lot of studios — even independent financiers — from trying to make them...

Described as The Purge with werewolves, Steven C. Miller‘s (Silent Night) Werewolves is headed our way this December 6. In anticipation, Briarcliff Entertainment and Bloody Disgusting have a killer contest that’s sure to turn some heads — especially the lycan kind.

We’re giving away one (1) werewolf head custom-built by legendary SFX wizard Alec Gillis, the same maestro behind not only the titular beasts in Werewolves, but also iconic works like Death Becomes Her, Starship Troopers, both the Alien and Predator franchises, and the list goes on.

Around the time he makes his Dcu debut as Rick Flag Sr. in the animated Creature Commandos series (he will also play the character in live-action in Superman and Peacemaker season 2), Frank Grillo will go up against a lot of lycanthropes in a new horror movie from director Steven C. Miller.

Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man reboot is coming our way early next year (you can check out the most recent trailer here), but before that, a more action-oriented werewolf movie is set to howl into theaters.

Frank Grillo is back in the horror genre with a twist on a classic monster in Werewolves. First having gotten in the works under the title Year 2, the movie is set in a world in which, a year prior, a supermoon turned millions into the titular creatures, with the impending return of the lunar event seeing society attempting to prepare for the potential of another major outbreak.

Before he makes his Dcu debut as Rick Flag Sr. in the animated Creature Commandos series (he will also play the character in live-action in Superman and Peacemaker season 2), Frank Grillo will go up against a lot of lycanthropes in a new horror movie from director Steven C. Miller.

Leigh Whannell's Wolf Man is coming our way early next year (we're expecting a new trailer this week), but before that, a much less serious and more action-oriented werewolf movie is set to howl into theaters.

The first trailer for Werewolves is now online. The movie, which has been described as "The Purge with werewolves," has a killer premise: "One year ago, a Supermoon turned millions into werewolves. This December, it’s happening again.”

What more could you possibly need to know?

Joining Grillo in supporting roles will be Katrina Law (NCIS), Ilfenesh Hadera (Godfather Of Harlem), James Michael Cummings...

“Hey! Bite Me!” A god amongst men, only actor Frank Grillo could utter this line at a oncoming werewolf he’s about ready to mow down.

Here’s the trailer for his new film Werewolves and it looks spectacular!

From the director of 2012’s awesome Silent Night, 2016’s Marauders and 2017’s Arsenal, Steven C. Miller is known for his work in both horror and action genres. Check out his movies if you haven’t seen them before!

In Werewolves, a supermoon event has triggered a latent gene in every human on the planet, turning anyone who entered the moonlight into a werewolf for that one night. Chaos ensued and close to a billion people died. Now, a year later, the Supermoon is back….

Grillo and Miller – whoa yeah! Definitely has a Dog Soldiers vibe to it! The film also features Katrina Law, Ilfenesh Hadera, James Michael Cummings and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Two years have gone by since we heard that director Steven C. Miller (Silent Night) was heading into production on a werewolf horror film that, at the time, was going by the title Year 2. That movie is now set to make its way out into the world under the title Werewolves, with Briarcliff Entertainment and The Solution Entertainment Group teaming up to give it a wide theatrical release in the United States on December 6th – and with that release date swiftly approaching, a trailer for the movie has now made its way online! You can check it out in the embed above.

Voltage Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to the action comedy Under Fire starring Dylan Sprouse and Mason Gooding from Aftermath and will launch worldwide sales at American Film Market (AFM) in Las Vegas next month.

The film follows two undercover agents – DEA agent Abbott (Sprouse) and an FBI agent Griff (Gooding) – posing as rival drug dealers at the Mexico border.

Initially unaware of each other’s identities in what should have been a routine drug deal, the agents are caught in a deadly ambush and must team up in order to survive.

The cast includes Odette Annable (Cloverfield), Emilio Rivera,...

The first few projects in the new DC Universe already have one common element: Frank Grillo. The actor will debut as Rick Flag Sr. in the animated series Creature Commandos before making the leap to live-action in Superman and the second season of Peacemaker. While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, DC Studios co-head James Gunn dropped a few hints on Grillo’s character.

“He is a really cool character that Frank has been molding,” Gunn said. “The character’s also in Superman, and he’s an incredibly important part in Peacemaker. He is one of the primary characters in Peacemaker season 2. So we get to see this character from different angles, and he is not simple.“

Gunn continued, “This isn’t just a good guy, not at all. We see all different sides of his character. He is morally a complex human being. Grillo is somebody who I’ve known for a little while,...

Nicolas Cage has had one of the most varied careers in Hollywood, but its in the action movie genre that hes had some of his most acclaimed and memorable roles. With three iconic releases in 1996 alone, including The Rock, Con Air, and Face/Off, Cage has made a name for himself as a non-stop worker who's always willing to embrace even the most outlandish of movie premises. From blockbuster smashes to later lesser-known straight-to-video releases, Cage has become a touchstone in modern popular culture and has achieved cult status among action movie lovers.

While some of Cages best movies were undisputed action classics, there were also some heartbreakingly low points in his long and bloated filmography. Whether hes portraying a vengeful father, a man who has escaped from hell, or even a future-seeing action hero, Cage has consistently remained totally committed to his roles and brought his unique style and eccentricities to Hollywoods film landscape.

Although it may seem like straight-to-video movies signaled a low point in the career of Nicolas Cage, upon closer inspection they included some of the actor's best roles in recent years. While Cage began his career in the 1980s and by the 1990s became an Oscar-winning actor and one of the biggest action stars in the world, in the years since, hes also taken up many lower-budget, lesser-known, straight-to-video movies. However, this shift toward more lowkey productions did not come at the expense of good performances, as Cage continued to give his all to every role he played.

Every Nicolas Cage movie has something unique to offer, as hes a performer who never phones it in and always tries to find a unique way to portray his characters. Although some of his direct-to-video action movies were full of genre tropes and cliches, they were usually still fun-filled spectacles that kept viewers enthralled throughout.
