Frank Grillo Battles the Supermoon ‘Werewolves’

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 inner demons to protect his family.

Boasting stellar performances, Werewolves plunges audiences into a relentless fight for survival, made all the more visceral by practical effects from Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr., the celebrated duo behind Prey. Their stunning creature design brings the terror to life, immersing viewers in the carnage. The Newton Brothers’ haunting score amplifies the tension, while Brandon Cox’s dynamic cinematography captures the bleak yet action-packed setting.

Hailed for its high-octane pacing and chilling atmosphere, Werewolves combines the grit of action cinema with the terror of monster horror. Written by Matthew Kennedy (Inheritance), the film delves into themes of human resilience, sacrifice, and the fragility of civilisation under the weight of an uncontrollable force.

Shot in Puerto Rico under the working title Year 2, the film capitalises on its striking locations to create an ominous backdrop for the mayhem. Premiering in December 2024 to mixed reviews, Werewolves has quickly found its audience among fans of creature features and edge-of-your-seat thrillers. With standout performances and a gripping concept, this is a modern twist on werewolf lore that delivers an electrifying viewing experience.

Mark your calendars for 13 January to experience the chaos on digital platforms, and don’t miss the physical release on 3 February. Werewolves is a visceral reminder that sometimes, humanity’s bite is far worse than its bark.
