Models vs. Werewolves

About This Movie

Models vs. Werewolves is an interesting blend of horror and camp, set in a remote Airbnb that gets a little too close to the lunar cycle. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as the full moon approaches; you really feel the isolation that the characters experience. The practical effects on the werewolves are pretty impressive, giving them a sort of primal, gritty edge that enhances the fear factor. The pacing feels a bit uneven, but it ultimately serves the build-up towards the inevitable chaos. The performances might not be Oscar-worthy, but they fit the mold of the typical young adult horror flick, which adds to its charm. It’s a unique flick that has its quirks, making it stand out among the more polished releases of its time.

This film has seen limited releases, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. The DVD and streaming formats have varied in quality, with some early editions lacking the necessary attention to the practical effects that elevate the film. Its mix of horror tropes and a fresh premise has garnered interest among niche genre enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate werewolf lore. While it may not be a mainstream hit, its unique elements have earned it a spot in specialized collections.
