On a dark and somber night, a secret cabal of monster hunters emerge from the shadows and gather at the foreboding Bloodstone Temple following the death of their leader. In a strange and macabre memorial to the leader's life, the attendees are thrust into a mysterious and deadly competition for a powerful relic--a hunt that will ultimately bring them face to face with a dangerous monster. Inspired by horror films of the 1930s and 1940s, the chilling special aims to evoke a sense of dread and the macabre, with plenty of suspense and scares along the way as we explore a new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Critics Consensus

A spooky yarn told with taut economy, Werewolf by Night is a standout Marvel entry that proves Michael Giacchino as atmospheric and skilled a director as he is a composer.

The sets harken back to the vintage ‘30s, and the dark streak of humor and make this one irresistible viewing for the Halloween season.

Told with wry humor while tapping into unexplored quadrants of comics lore, it’s a bit too gory and scary for younger kids but a gift to fans that raises enticingly monster-ous possibilities.

Werewolf By Night is a charming tribute not only to the pulpy horror comics on which it’s based but to the scary and silly classic cinema that a generation of film lovers grew up watching late at night on local television.

Werewolf By Night is a howling good time and perfect for the Halloween season. Giacchino’s debut is certainly one of the strongest and most visually distinct of the recent MCU outings, laying the exciting groundwork for a new corner of the universe.

It’s nice to see Disney striking out in unique directions, especially when the big screen universe is struggling to regain its inventive stride.

A marvelous short movie that captures the feel of classic monster movies but with the quality of modern releases. Suspenseful and brutal. The cast is excellent and Gael Garcia Bernal does an amazing performance as Jack Russell/the werewolf. Laura Donnelly is incredible as Elsa Bloodstone. Harriet Sansom Harris steals every scene she's involved with. And you have to love Man-Thing whose brutal innocence adds another layer to this well crafted film.

You could see the inspiration from early films of the 30s, but cornball acting and dialogue kept this from becoming better

The mix of classic wearwolf from the '60's and modern horror was so well done that I found this a real gem.

This does a great job of embracing everything that people love about marvel movies and mashes it with a love for classic horror movies from a bygone era. It also helps that the cgi and acting are all pretty good, and the werewolf itself manages to look cool as a classic looking werewolf as well as a believably scary monster in a modern lens.

Werewolf by Night (2022) The Monsters and the Bloodstone (12,030 – 01 Nov 2025– by Claudio Carvalho) When Ulysses Bloodstone dies, his widow Verussa (Harriet Sansom Harris) gathers several monster hunters to dispute who will be the next keeper of the Bloodstone. Among them, there are the unknown Jack Russell (Gael García Bernal) and Ulysses’ estranged daughter Elsa Bloodstone (Laura Donnelly). But soon, Elsa learns that Jack is not interested in the Bloodstone but in saving the monster and they team up. “Werewolf by Night” (2022) is a funny and entertaining adventure by Marvel with the hero Jack Russell. The black and white cinematography is stylish and unfortunately the adventure is only 52 minutes running time. Anyway, it is highly amusing and worthwhile watching. My vote is seven.

I really enjoyed rewatching Werewolf by Night on Disney Plus: fun, thrilling and entertaining. It is a love letter to the Universal Monster movies of the 1930s and 1940s.
