Directed by Charlie Steeds, this 2020 release brings forth a narrative set in Victorian-era England, where two unlikely companions find themselves trapped in a remote inn during a storm. The film's premise is intriguing, drawing viewers into a world where supernatural threats loom just beyond the walls. While the pacing can sometimes falter, particularly in its build-up to the horror, the atmosphere is well-crafted, with the dark, brooding setting enhancing the tension. The performances, especially from the leads, add depth to their characters, allowing audiences to connect with their plight. The film does not shy away from gore, catering to horror aficionados, but it may alienate those looking for a more subtle approach to fear. Overall, A Werewolf in England is a commendable effort that offers enough thrills to satisfy genre fans, though it may not resonate with those seeking a more refined narrative structure. Show less

Show more >> A Werewolf in England is a delightful romp through the shadows of horror that had me gripped from the start! Set against the backdrop of a stormy Victorian night, the film’s premise is both simple and effective: two characters, a Parish Councillor and a criminal, find themselves at a creepy inn where werewolves are lurking. The tension is palpable, and the film does a fantastic job of building suspense. I found myself genuinely invested in the characters’ fates, thanks to solid performances that brought them to life. The werewolf design is impressive, and the practical effects used throughout the film give it a charming, retro feel that modern CGI often lacks. While it may not be the most groundbreaking horror film out there, its blend of classic horror tropes with a fresh setting makes it a must-watch for fans of the genre. If you’re looking for an entertaining night filled with scares and a touch of dark humour, A Werewolf in England is definitely worth your time! Show less
