Werewolf by Night | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The sets harken back to the vintage ‘30s, and the dark streak of humor and make this one irresistible viewing for the Halloween season. Rated: 3/4 Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Werewolf by Night | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brian Lowry CNN.com Told with wry humor while tapping into unexplored quadrants of comics lore, it’s a bit too gory and scary for younger kids but a gift to fans that raises enticingly monster-ous possibilities. Oct 8, 2022 Full Review Werewolf by Night | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dylan Roth Observer Werewolf By Night is a charming tribute not only to the pulpy horror comics on which it’s based but to the scary and silly classic cinema that a generation of film lovers grew up watching late at night on local television. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Werewolf by Night | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) A terrific looking film and great way to introduce kids to the tropes of horror movies Nov 6, 2023 Full Review Werewolf by Night | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Nicola Austin Flickering Myth Werewolf By Night is a howling good time and perfect for the Halloween season. Giacchino’s debut is certainly one of the strongest and most visually distinct of the recent MCU outings, laying the exciting groundwork for a new corner of the universe. Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Werewolf by Night | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight It’s nice to see Disney striking out in unique directions, especially when the big screen universe is struggling to regain its inventive stride.

Andrew P Werewolf By Night is a departure from the style of the MCU around it and it benefits greatly from that. I hope to see more projects like these in the future. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Leandro T truly incredible what marvel did with this film. Also, Ed R, you clearly know nothing about true art. Same with you Sam T!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Ed R I truly wish I could give this 0 stars. Utterly boring and short. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Nick R Focusing more on the supernatural side of the MCU while also being a complete diversion from the standard story, 'Werewolf by Night' is a major success. It's fun, thrilling, well-filmed, and doesn't get bogged down by any Marvel fluff that stretch out the movies far too much. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Neelesh S Fantastic! No fillers, no dragging. Leaves you wanting more. This should become a series! Transition to technicolor at the end was a nice finishing touch too Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Lukela B What a Awesome Movie, what a tribute to old school movie making. We need marvel to make more fall movies like this and call it the Dark Marvel Universe! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
