Werewolves Within-- My take on the movie with spoilers!


PLOT SUMMARY: When a snowstorm traps the residents in a town, Finn, the new ranger, must find out if one of them is the werewolf behind all the killings.

 In a small town, everyone knows your name and everyone is informed about your affairs. So when something unusual happens the suspicion usually falls on the outsider.

And sometimes, that guess is absolutely right.


Werewolves Within Movie Plot

The movie begins with a man in the woods, suddenly being attacked.

We then meet Finn Wheeler, the new ranger in town who quickly befriends the mailwoman, Cecily. She gives him a tour around the town, introducing him to the townsfolk who are divided upon the issue of a pipeline proposed by a businessman, Sam Parker.

Finn and Sam take residence at a lodge run by Jeanine who is the wife of the man killed in the first scene. There is a doctor living there too, Dr. Ellis.

After the tour, Finn and Cecily spend some time together and almost have a moment that is interrupted by a call.

Later that night, a neighbor's dog is killed and she rushes into the lodge to cry about it. A blackout occurs and the town's people gather inside. Finn goes out to investigate and finds that the generator was tampered with. He is returning when he spots Jeanine's husband laying under the porch.

Dr Ellis collects some samples from the body and goes to her room to run them through her machines.

While this is happening, another townie is dragged out of his bedroom and has his hand bitten by an unseen assailant.

Dr Ellis concludes her tests and finds out that it is the work of a werewolf and that it is one of the people present in the lodge.

Fingers are pointed, accusations are screamed, speech about community is given which no one pays heed to.

Dr. Ellis dies and Parker tells everyone she committed suicide. Considering she was against his pipeline proposal, everyone wonders what exactly happened to her.

Cecily and Finn leave again and while conducting an investigation, Cecily finds newspaper cuttings of werewolf attacks at all the places Finn was stationed in. She grows suspicious of him.

Back at the lodge, all the residents have turned against each other to the point that they've begun killing each other.

When Finn returns, Parker accuses him of being the werewolf but Finn tells him there's no such thing as a werewolf and thinks Parker has gone crazy and is responsible for the paranoia.

Parker is about to kill him when another resident kills him.


Werewolves Within Ending Explained with Spoilers!

Finn and Cecily return to the bar where he finds packages that Cecily claimed to have no knowledge about. He finds a badge and paperwork that shows that Jeanine's husband was the mailman before Cecily.

He concludes that Cecily must be the werewolf. She transforms and attacks him but Finn manages to subdue her with the help of a hermit. As in every horror movie, the monster/killer rarely stays down so she gets up again, only for Jeanine to show up and get her with the crossbow.

The end.

The movie had some fun moments but fared average in its horror components.

An interesting movie you still don't want to miss.


Scare scale: 3.5/5
