[News] Werewolf Whodunnit Werewolves Within Gets a Teaser Trailer and Poster!

Based on Ubisoft’s virtual reality video game that recreates the feeling of deduction games like Werewolf and Mafia, Josh Ruben’s follow-up to Scare Me is coming soon. It’ll debut at Tribeca Film Festival 2021 and will hit theatres on June 25th, 2021 before going to On Demand on July 2nd. In anticipation of the release, we have the teaser trailer (above), the synopsis and some words from director Josh Ruben and the teaser poster.

After a proposed pipeline creates divisions within the small town of Beaverfield, and a snowstorm traps its residents together inside the local inn, newly arrived forest ranger FINN (Sam Richardson) and postal worker CECILY (Milana Vayntrub) must try to keep the peace and uncover the truth behind a mysterious creature that has begun terrorizing the community.

Director Josh Ruben had the following to say: I grew up near the same small town where we shot Werewolves Within. As a kid, I’d freak myself out, making up monster stories, running through the woods, pretending I was Chief Brody, fighting creatures in the brush (I LOVED Jaws — hell, I loved horror). That hometown experience, where neighbors knew your business (whether you liked it or not) is so much of what makes Werewolves so personal. But, as much as I love horror movies, nothing scares me more than people. And as much as this movie is an homage to my love for Hot Fuzz, the Coen Brothers, and Arachnophobia, it’s also about the monster in all of us.

This movie is a tribute to those of us who are resolute that good conquers evil, and that “being good” is the best weapon we’ve got, against guns, knives, even claws… Sometimes, you just gotta be a good neighbor, no matter how wicked people are.
