Watch Now on Netflix: When Animals Dream (2014)

I had heard many things about the foreign horror/drama film from Denmark called When Animals Dream - some were good, some not so good. It was intrigued by it because it focused on female werewolf transformation, like Ginger Snaps (which I LOVE), so I knew I had to give it a go myself.

When 16-year-old Marie breaks out in strange rashes, her small-town neighbors panic and her family's terrifying secret can no longer be contained.

Watch Now on Netflix: Wolfcop

Wolfcop is a 2014 release that started streaming on Netflix recently and I was instantly drawn to its B-movie vibe! After watching it, I think it is a great mix of comedy/horror and is perfect for a horror movie night with friends or something to throw a few beers back with.

Synopsis: After being transformed into a werewolf, boozy cop Lou Garou uses his new powers to tangle with devil worshipers, shape-shifters and other minions of evil.

Wolfcop has an engaging story, unique characters, slapstick, gore, shapeshifting, and one hairy cop. Plus, its transformation scenes, pivotal for any werewolf movie worth its salt, are done really well! I also love how the film throws it back to '80s horror flicks, has clever little werewolf references (I mean, the cop's name is Lou Garou, when the French "loup garou" means werewolf), and the plot keeps you guessing as you try to uncover the mysteries, both past and present, that surround the town.

If you are looking for a fun horror movie, watch Wolfcop on Netflix now!

Film Review: Silver Bullet (2010)

Ah, the nostalgia that a Stephen King work brings to me…his stories remind me of being in elementary school and devouring his novels. Of course, it also helped that I could identify with many of his characters, who were usually around my age in the books. I remember reading IT and then enjoying the movie on VHS (remember how it came with two VHS tapes since its 3 hour length couldn’t all fit on one?). Even though I didn’t really dig the ending of the film I loved the story and at the time was obsessed with actor Jonathan Brandis, so I pretty much wore out those VHS tapes. I enjoyed many of King’s other books and subsequent adaptations, but one (short) story I never read was Cycle of the Werewolf, which Silver Bullet is based on.
