Rating: 3.5/5 Howl at the Moon

Chris Pratt trades his Jurassic Park dinosaurs for something more primal in Werewolf 2: The Beast Among Us, a horror-thriller that mixes creature feature scares with Pratt’s signature charm.

The film follows a small-town sheriff (Pratt) who discovers that a series of brutal killings in his community are the work of a werewolf. As the full moon approaches, he must protect his town while hiding a secret of his own: he was bitten years ago, and the beast inside him is waking up.

Pratt brings a surprising vulnerability to the role, balancing his usual charisma with genuine fear. The werewolf design is practical and terrifying, a throwback to the creature features of the 80s. The horror sequences are tense, and the film explores the theme of a man fighting his own nature. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a solid genre entry.

The Verdict: A fun, scary creature feature that gives Pratt a chance to stretch his dramatic muscles. Howl yeah.

Final Thought: The beast is inside us all. Some of us fight harder.
