Best Werewolf Movies

We love to feel fear on screen, not in real life, and werewolf stories manage to reach our deepest selves. For many years, werewolves were portrayed as enemies of humans, but in recent years, productions have come to the forefront that show that they can also be on the side of good. These creatures, whose eyes turn bloodshot when they turn into werewolves, can now be a part of family series or comedy movies and be on our side. It seems like it's time for a change in the stories told around the campfire.

Werewolves, vampires, demons, and hunters are in a sense part of an inseparable whole. It doesn't surprise us at all to see vampires in a werewolf movie. In the best werewolf movies of all time, sometimes only humans and werewolves are featured, while sometimes different underworld creatures take their place among the basic elements of the story, and multidimensional productions emerge. In other words, some of the best werewolf movies can also be among the best vampire movies.

The advancement in visual effects technology can be easily observed in werewolf movies. In the past, in many productions, the process of transforming from a human to a werewolf consisted of a shadow changing on the wall. Now, during this transformation, we can watch in detail the thickening and elongation of hair, the growth of nails, the prominence of werewolf teeth, the thickening of the skin, and the change in the formation of bones in close-up. This makes werewolf movies much more impressive.

It is possible to prepare many different lists about which are the best werewolf movies of all time, but it is certain that some productions have reserved places in each of these lists. In order to choose the best werewolf movies, I took a journey from the past to the present and prepared a list of the productions that managed to stand out. If werewolves scare you, you may need to muster up some courage to watch the movies on this list. Let's take a look at the best werewolf movies.
