Welcome to my review of werewolf By Night the TV special on Disney plus just in time for Halloween we get another sort of old school horror film in the kind of hammer horror era stuff like Bella Lugosi and wolf man yeah those older universal stuff and it was very unique and as we've seen in the trailer it's all in black and white it's very different from other MCU projects and that in that sense and it's only 51 minutes long and it's that's a it's a one-off so far you know it's like it's not a TV series or a movie it's just kind of like a just think of it like a Halloween special and this one basically Stars gal Garcia barnal Laura Donald and a few others and features basically a story about the Bloodstone and the society around this Bloodstone Who hunt monsters and so they've gathered from all around because the lead Monster Hunter has died and he wants to pass on his Society to the Next Generation and so they go on this hunt and whoever kills this monster will obtain the Bloodstone and continue the Bloodstone line so after seeing it I really really enjoyed it I thought it was a fun little tale
I liked the black and white cinematography so so you see that so rarely and you see it rarely done well and here it's done well there's some good action and I appreciated the Practical effects you know as the title implies were well by night I expected probably some big CGI werewolf right but they actually went the sort of classic werewolf look and while I may not think that those that that look is cool it definitely I appreciated the the the sort of man-in-the-suit kind of thing and they did the best they could with it
So I liked the characters especially a cameo by not many people who know this particular character some people are gonna probably confuse him with Swamp Thing This is not Swamp Thing That is DC this man thinks this is sort of Marvel's version of that and I thought he was the Breakaway star of this I oved it and I really really liked it so what did you guys think I think this is a must watch I really liked it I like the choice to go black and white I didn't expect that much action or that much Gore I was like well this is from Disney yes from Disney
This is probably the outside of I guess the connection to Hulu and then and then Hellraiser the most blood we've seen on the game itself the acting is great this is just it's a good watch, especially for 51 minutes perfect length no lag yea good pacing yeah I thought it was pretty good
I love the old the fashion horror movies I've seen all of them this definitely reminds you a lot of that I think that the look is great I love that the main thing I love about this movie is the concept that they're willing to do these one-off weird things yes I want to see so much more of that because there's so much room to explore/ I don't think they nailed it here I wasn't it's not something that I'm like you have to go see this one but I think it's pretty good stuff
I don't know I think there's some really good stuff out for Halloween right now that I would probably tell other people but I don't Hellraisers definitely one person should go see yes so I think this is pretty good stuff, yeah I so I really hope that they don't just do a one-off with this is because like Alex said there are a lot of creatures in the MCU that doesn't really get Spotlight
so whereas you know you got to Justice League you got justice league dark it does magic and creatures MCU has a lot of that too and werewolf by night could be maybe a once-a-year Halloween special that features different characters I really really found the I don't want to say anything we'll talk about it in spoilers but I found a particular relationship in this one endearing and I would love to see these characters return however if it's just a sort of Anthology or you know of different characters every year that would be freaking great so I think that the director does a good job and the Riders do a good job and they should be back for something
Else I'm not sure how this connects into the greater MCU but we'll look at that in the spoiler section so let's go ahead and give final verdicts this is going to be a solid 8 for me I really liked it just well we can't talk about that yeah no but other than that like I think everything was pretty spot on I just wish they'd do more of this stuff yeah so eight for me okay yeah I agree it's really good stuff I'm gonna go with the seven I think that this is definitely an enjoyable watch I think I mean I know that they're trying to go back to like the classic kind of cheesy horror things but I think you can I don't know I wanted a little more from the writing department but still really enjoyed it, yeah there are some cheesy bits and I think it's you know clearly intentional to throw back to some of the other some of the the stuff and you know because it's a one-off because it's short it's it's fine
I liked it so I'm gonna give it an eight out of ten as well Joe and I really enjoy it so check it out if you got Disney plus don't let this one sneak under the radar because I haven't seen really anything on socials I really haven't seen a whole lot as far as YouTube but I definitely want to bring this to you and I want to let you know it is worth a watch I would seek it out and watch it but see Hellraiser first all right guys.
