“Game of Werewolves” is a Spanish horror comedy from 2011. It has been compared to “Shaun of the Dead,” and I can see some similarities, although I would not draw that parallel. The movie is definitely funny, but I wonder if, as non-Hispanic yet not miss out on a lot of humor in the form of nuances in language and pure translation misses.

werewolves are well-made, even if they do not belong to my favorite design of these beasts. These are very humanoid, bulky, and reminds me a lot of Kane Hodder’s portrayal of Jason Voorhees. You know, the big, wide, with a chest that heaves badly when they breathe. I prefer “Dog Soldiers” variant, but it is still well made.

Do you like werewolf movies? See. Like you rysarkomedier? See. Do you like good movies? See it.
