Werewolves, like vampires, are regular characters in horror films. Their tremendous strength, endurance, and anger made these creatures ideal candidates for the title of "worst pet." You can become a werewolf in different ways, for example, using magic, to be bitten by a werewolf, to be damned, or to be born on Christmas Eve (perhaps the most harmless option). And it is better to watch werewolves from a safe distance, for example, sitting in front of the TV screen. We present to you ten most interesting werewolf moviesissued from 2000 to 2017. The list of the best was compiled in accordance with the ratings on Kinopoisk.
10. Little Red Riding Hood (2011)
Rating - 6.1
For a long time, a small village was terrorized by a huge werewolf. Then he disappeared for a long time, but appeared again. And the main character - Valerie, constantly wearing a red cloak (despite the name of the film) - intends to find out which of the villagers turns into a cruel beast. After all, the werewolf spared her and even offered to run away with him. In addition, she needs to make a choice on a personal front: her mother wants to marry her rich Henry, and Valerie herself loves the handsome Peter.
9. Blood and Chocolate (2006)
Rating - 6.3
Another variation on forbidden love between a werewolf and a man. Livar girl Vivienne and free artist Aiden meet in Bucharest and fall in love. However, in a flock of Vivienne, attachment to a person is condemned and she has to choose with whom to stay - with her brothers or lovers. One of the advantages of the picture is that the director was shooting real wolves, not computer-generated monsters. Another plus is a very good, catchy soundtrack.
8. Sister werewolf (2004)
Rating - 6.5
The main character Bridget (Emily Perkins) loses her sister Ginger, who was bitten by a werewolf. The girl tried all the ways to treat Ginger and in the process of helping her, she got infected with her blood. And now Bridget herself is threatened with turning into a monster, wild and obsessed with anger and thirst for blood.
7. The birth of a werewolf (2004)
Rating - 6.6
Strong middling in a selection of the best films about werewolves. The scenario is very simple: in the 19th century, a Canadian fort - the only bastion of civilization in the separated lands - was attacked by bloodthirsty werewolves. Two main characters (Bridget and Ginger), a strange Indian and a small group of settlers took refuge in the fort. In the reviews, the film is criticized for the fact that the transformation of a person into a beast in "The Birth of a Werewolf" is not shown, and for the weak musical accompaniment. Cinema belongs to the trilogy, the first and second parts of which (“Werewolf” and “Werewolf Sister”) are also included in our rating.
6. Dogs-warriors (2001)
Rating - 6.7
This film has everything that is dear to fans of the horror genre: nightmare monsters, blood, fights and a brutal protagonist. An interesting idea of the director: to combine in one film soldiers who went on military exercises and werewolves, earned the approval of the audience. After all, military people are not a group of frightened teenagers who will be quickly cut like a flock of sheep. Maybe they are inferior to werewolves in speed and strength, but they have soldier ingenuity and courage.
5. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2008)
Rating - 6.8
An unpretentious fantasy, included in the list of the best films about vampires, ideal for those who want to just have a good time in front of the TV screen, without delving into deep philosophical parables and without thinking “what did the director want to say with this?” Cruel vampires ruthlessly exploit their werewolf slaves. However, the young lycan Lucian secretly prepares an uprising against his masters. Sonya joins him - the daughter of the vampire lord Victor. But can two unlike beings be together?
4. Werewolf (2000)
Rating - 7
Two sisters were filming "horror films", generously spending red paint on it. But one day they came across a real monster who bit one of the sisters. And strange metamorphoses begin to occur with the girl. There is not much horror in this film, since at the center of the story is the relationship of sisters deeply devoted to each other.
3. Wolf children Ame and Yuki (2012)
Rating - 7.9
A beautiful and fascinating anime about the life of a woman named Khan, who, after the death of her werewolf husband, was left with two small children in her arms. The absurd ones still do not know how to control their transformations, and at night they scare their neighbors with a howl. Hana has neither work nor money, but she promised her husband to raise children as worthy people (or wolf cubs), which means she will have to do everything for their happiness. Separately, it is worth noting the magnificent musical accompaniment of all the events taking place in the anime.
2. Werewolf Boy (2012)
Rating - 7.9
The second place in the top films about werewolves is occupied by a South Korean film about the relations of two young people - a werewolf boy and an ordinary girl. In the reviews, viewers praise the picture for an interesting plot, beautiful music and acting. If you crave horrors, blood, and suffering, then do not watch The Werewolf Boy. The suffering here, if any, is moral, from the inability to combine two worlds - the beast and the human. But for those who love beautiful, emotional and sad tales, this film is recommended for viewing.
1. Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Premiere in the Russian Federation - March 16
A fairy tale about a smart and independent girl Belle (played by Emma Watson). For the sake of saving her father, she went to the Monster Castle, about which terrible stories were circulating among the local population. It turned out that the Beast was Prince Adam, bewitched by a witch for his rudeness and arrogance. Adam will be able to regain his true appearance only if he learns to love and be loved.
Director Bill Condon approached his brainchild very thoughtfully. It took 15 weeks to create the enchanted forest surrounding the Monster’s castle alone. And the costumers spent 12,000 hours creating the Belle dress.
