Verdict on Werewolf Serenade
Werewolf Serenade is a comedy following a college professor who unwittingly gets involved with werewolves and a cult. He must navigate this world to be with his wife and understand what he is going through. However, not everything is going to be as easy as he is used to seeing.
This comedy gets to poke fun at the werewolf sub-genre in movies and takes things in a non-horror direction. It uses the concept of early transformations to bring laughs as it is harder to believe it is happening to someone. We get solid laughs and a fun story. It is odd and it works for the story, showing a normal life spiralling out of control for an unlikely reason.
Final Thoughts – Werewolf Serenade is an oddball werewolf story.
