Never Cry Werewolf

2008 ·1h 27m · ★ 5.4 (91)

Loren doesn't like her new neighbor, Jared, or his vicious dog. Along with her friend Steven, Loren spies on Jared and begins to suspect he's a werewolf, responsible for a rash of disappearances. But Jared is watching her just as closely because Loren reminds him of his dead wife. As a full-moon night nears, Loren enlists the help of TV star Redd Tucker, who knows how to hunt -- and who believes her werewolf theory.

Why it matters

A cheeky blend of werewolf lore and made-for-TV charm that leans into its B-movie roots with knowing humor and modest effects.

  • Lean, familiar werewolf story with a meta twist — Jared’s haunted by a lost love, adding a touch of tragic romance to the monster trope.
  • Redd Tucker’s TV hunter persona injects campy bravado, making the monster hunt feel like a genre-savvy game of cat and mouse.
  • Practical effects sit somewhere between “serviceable” and “cheesy,” perfect for fans of SyFy channel’s late-night creature features.
  • Best for viewers who appreciate horror that doesn’t take itself seriously and enjoys a side of cornball humor with their full moon.
