Plot:
At the beginning of Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, we see a werewolf attacking the
family of a little boy named Charles. Both of Charles’s parents die trying to
save him, but finally Charles kills the werewolf and saves himself. Before
dying, his father gives him a locket which was a sign of great werewolf
hunters.
Years have passed and Charles has grown up. He is now the leader
of a team which is renowned for hunting werewolves. One day, few men come to
him asking his help, telling him that a werewolf has killed a lot of people in
their village. Charles also finds that, that werewolf is of a special kind,
which can hunt for three days in a row. He heads for that village with his
team. On the way, they see a cart carrying dead bodies and also meet a zombie
who has been infected by werewolf. As their regular procedure, Charles’s team
shoots the zombie in its head and then burns the body.
Then we see a teenage boy named Daniel who is living in a nearby village where the werewolf has
attacked. He is studying to be a doctor and has an affair with a rich girl.
Daniel’s mother runs a hotel cum brothel in that village. Charles’ team
reaches Daniel’s village just when a man was asking for the bounty of killing
the werewolf to the local police chief, by bluffing the villagers. Charles
exposes the bluff and then, by bargaining with the police chief, doubles the
bounty announced by the police. Daniel becomes impressed by seeing Charles’s
team and offers them his assistance. Charles politely declines. Charles’s team
starts to stay at Daniel’s mother’s hotel.
Daniel‘s girlfriend tries to stop Daniel
from becoming an werewolf hunter and also offers him to get admitted in a
medical college, which Daniel declines. He keeps on working with the village’s
doctor. They regularly get patients attacked by the werewolf and kill the
ones who have got infected. Meanwhile, Charles takes preparation for hunting
and on the next moon, sets a trap in the jungle to catch the werewolf. At the
same time, a group of poachers were also after the werewolf. The werewolf leads
poachers to Charles’s trap and thus, both of the teams fail to catch it.
Charles understands that this werewolf is intelligent and thus, different from
other werewolves. Daniel also gets chased and taken by the werewolf. Then
the werewolf attacks Daniel’s mother’s hotel and kills some bad people.
Daniel finds a pattern in how this
werewolf attacks people and proves to Charles that it only attacks low life.
Being impressed, Charles listens to Daniel and together they go to the local
gypsy head who gives them idea about how powerful and special this werewolf is.
He also tells them that they must catch it in next two days, otherwise, it will
be able to transform at its will and will be impossible to stop.
In the meantime, the villagers lose
faith into the hunters and try to take matters in their own hands. They
identify some persons who don’t have a strong alibi about them when the
werewolf attacked last night and suspect them as werewolf. Daniel’s mother, his
girlfriend’s father, the gypsy head, the police chief and some other people are
kept into the jail for that night to see if any one of them is the werewolf.
Charles also sets up another trap with the help of Daniel. They use one of the
poachers as bait, as the werewolf is hunting lowlifes. At the night, the werewolf attacks. This time
again, all of Charles’s team’s efforts goes in vain and the werewolf escapes.
But surprisingly, the werewolf hurts none of the members of Charles’s team when
it has easy chances to kill them.
At the same time in the jail, the
police chief feels seek. Becoming frightened, the guards kill all of the people
in the jail, except Daniel’s mother who escapes. Then we get to know the human
identity of the werewolf. We also see how he/she has become a werewolf and the
reason why he/she has this special power. We can also see that an important
person in that village is protecting and training the werewolf.
One member of Charles’s team finally
finds out who the werewolf is and puts him/her in display in front of the
villagers to reveal its true identity. But the werewolf breaks free and goes to
hiding. Finally it comes face to face with that member, which also reveals
another identity of that companion of Charles.
Can Charles or Daniel kill the
werewolf? Can the human identity of the werewolf save the persons he/she love? Let’s
watch the movie to find the answers.

My review about Werewolf: The Beast Among Us:
First of all, I’ve found Werewolf:
The Beast Among Us as a better than average werewolf movie.
The plot seemed nice and interesting. It was not easy to guess who
the werewolf was and from time to time, the director has given signals to misguide
us in that guessing in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us, and it felt exciting. Finding the werewolf was not the end
of the movie. We got that answer long before the movie’s end and a lot of other
things happened after that. But overall, the plot of Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is good enough to keep you
attached.
The acting and the dialogues in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us were good too. All the actors and
actresses have done a good job here.
The makeups and special effects of Werewolf: The Beast Among Us were also good. The werewolf and
its transformation effects seemed natural. Specially, the makeup of the werewolf
was pretty good, so I wonder why the director has not shown it more on the
whole movie.
I found a big plot hole in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us. When you see the human
identity of the werewolf, you can clearly remember that you saw that person
being chased by the werewolf. But the whole movie is about only one werewolf,
nowhere else it refers any second one. It is hard to accept this type of mistake
in a movie like this.
What I didn’t like about Werewolf: The Beast Among Us was the graphic scenes used in
it. The director could show less (or indirectly) of them without harming the
sense of the movie at all. This movie could do better without them.
Although there is no nude scene in Werewolf: The Beast Among Us,
but for the body pieces and other scenes, this movie is not suitable for kids.
So, overall, I liked this movie. I’ll mark this movie as good,
although not great. Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is surely worth giving a try.
