Why are there so few decent movies for one of the most interesting monster ideas in existence?
The Howling, Pic related, Dog Soldiers being notable exceptions.
Why isn't there any love for werewolves in movies?

Unpopular opinion: I thought Cursed was a fucking hilarious an intelligently campy take on the genre, and a severely underrated movie

It might be to complex a concept, or a concept that isn't popular or seen as unpopular with audiences.
You take the original Wolfman movies and the remake or your notable mentions, with the exception of Dog Soldiers, you take Cursed or Ginger Snaps and really think about where the "horror" in those movies comes from. And it's mainly the story of someone losing control or becoming the monster. And that doesn't really lend itself to directly confronting the monster or fighting the monster. I think they're best served usually in a suspenseful slow build, gradually discovering exactly what's going on before a final showdown kind of arc. And everything as far as I can tell seems to be geared towards clear lines of right and wrong good guy vs bad guy. Monster is clearly evil, maybe mindless but there's no question that it needs to be stopped. Victories against a werewolf however often are suicide or killing a loved one that had little to no control over it and the "victory" seems shallow or empty or painful. And I don't think it lends itself well or as well to a quick scare but ultimately beat the bad guy kind of movie that I'm assuming me are more willing to see.

Just thought I'd swing by and post the best Werewolf flick.

Hot Canadian goth poon Werewolf kino.
James Stewart
Drunk Gary Busey vs. Werewolves
But pic related is the true werewolf kino.

Theirs plenty out there, you just have to dig through all eras and everything from AAA to straight to DVD.
Just off the top of my head:
>original universal Wolfman and its sequels
>American werewolf in London
>Dog Soldiers
>Project Metalbeast
>Ginger Snaps 1,2,3
>Bad Moon
>Big Bad Wolf
>Silver Bullet
>various Howling movies with 1,3,4,5 all being rather fun for different reasons
>Wolfman remake
>Wolfcop and Wolfcop 2
>When Animals Dream
>Game of Werewolves
>Howl
>Late Phases
>Wolf
>Wolves
>Skin Walkers

Blood Moon isnt bad either as a werewolf western.

While the movies and books are not exactly werewolves in the strictest of sense, they both are really good takes on the mythos. I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet
Logan Roberts
I think the concept doesn't have as much spread as, say, vampires or science experiments gone awry because of what says. The werewolf film tends to be oriented towards tragedy.
It feels like there's a lot more films with Dracula's basic plot than there are of The Wolf-Man's, even when you remove vampires and werewolves from the mix. Dracula's "good versus evil" is probably a lot more comfortable to moviegoers than to see a normal person's life go downhill irreversibly.

Why do most interpretations of wolfmen (even modern-ish ones) turn out to be scraggly hairy apes?
I think the true cool factor lies within a beast that's beautiful but also absolutely soul-rendingly terrifying under the right conditions.
Where can I find pic related aesthetic?

damn that's a big woofer

That creature's bodybuilder upper half would destroy its hips if it tried to walk on those legs. If it loped far on hands it would wreck its fingers.
Great picture of a crappy creature design. Look up the Berni Wrightson Stephen King book Cycle of the Werewolf. Some of Wrightson's best work.

Expensive to make (especially if using practical effects) and would be very likely to make little money as the movie market (including horror) is saturated with mainly sequels and universes. Werewolves wouldn’t really be seen as scary for most movie goers as well and they would most likely turn away. That being said there is still some werewolf kino being released today such as Late Phases
Jackson Campbell
There was an Indian werewolf superhero
Pic related. They were single entity that got split
Ayden Howard
because the classic werewolf (wolfman) stories always revolve around the dualities of man and beast. Something that is totally beyond zoomers and their fortnite friends.
Sebastian Young
Always wanted to see it as a kid but none of the video stores ever had it.
Jose Hall
Too much cgi shit and PC retarded audiences. They’ll never make a raw, sexually edgy film like The Howling again.
Joshua Evans
stay away from werewolf movies Yea Forums, they made me a furry
Logan Hernandez
Because werewolves aren't scary. Werewolf flicks are like those straight to DVD creature features because they're really just big, dangerous animals.
Logan Thompson
brotherhood of the wolf
Hudson Rodriguez
Unironically a decent werewolf flick
If only the whole movie were dedicated to that
Luis Howard
Daniel Johnson
Such a shit movie.
