Werewolf By Night Review – Marvel Studios’ Spooky Special Presentation Shows The MCU Has Range | Latest Entertainment News 2023

With spooky season heating up, Marvel Studios is throwing its hat in the ring with its own Halloween fare. Werewolf By Night introduces yet another new corner of the Marvel

Cinematic Universe as it tells a self-contained story of monsters, those who hunt them, and a potential battle to the death between everyone involved. And although this may be the

first Marvel Studios "special presentation," as it's being dubbed, it's also a hopeful sign of what's to come.Most of Phase 4 of the MCU has been a mixed bag. New heroes are

introduced in movies or TV shows that don't feel all that different from the ones we've been watching for the last decade, with no real hint of when or if we'll meet them again.

Will the Eternals pop back up? Remember when Charlize Theron appeared at the end of the last Doctor Strange movie? Where, exactly, is Shang-Chi at this point? There are so many

lingering questions connected to TV shows and films with stakes that are often ridiculously high.Werewolf By Night is different, though. It's different in a way that She-Hulk is

different. They are unlike things we've seen in the MCU before, and it's a refreshing change of pace. While She-Hulk continues to stick the landing week-in-week-out as a workplace

comedy, Werewolf By Night is a live-action throwback to the horror of old.The story unfolds at Bloodstone Manor, the home of the deceased leader of a crew of monster hunters. Now,

one of the hunters has to take possession of a mysterious jewel, allowing them to control the group. To gain possession, they have to hunt an unimaginable monster on the manor's

grounds--and potentially kill each other in the process, if they have to.It's a story that's told incredibly well, without overstaying its welcome. With a runtime of just under an

hour, Werewolf By Night is filled with great fight sequences, some genuinely scary-looking monsters, and the kind of character development for the leads that will leave you hoping

that they have some kind of future in the MCU. And it does it all with one of Marvel Studios' best-looking projects to date.Almost entirely in black and white and filmed on large

and gorgeous sets, this special plays like a throwback to an era before everything was shot in front of a green screen. Bloodstone Manor feels real because, well, it more or less

is. It may not be an actual mansion you can go visit, but instead as a lavish set that was built for the production. The attention to detail is stellar, and it wouldn't even be a

surprise to learn that even the outdoor scenes as the manor were filmed on that same set, much like TV shows of old.Filling those sets is a very entertaining cast of characters.
