## Summary

Director Josh Ruben’s 2021 horror comedy *Werewolves Within* is now available to stream free on platforms including Tubi. The film draws on a social deduction game but tells a separate story, pairing small-town suspicion with a murder mystery and supernatural danger.

Sam Richardson plays Finn, a forest ranger arriving in a Vermont town where an avalanche and power cut leave residents trapped. After generators are found damaged and a motel co-owner is discovered dead, Finn tries to stop the feuding locals from turning on one another as they suspect a werewolf may be among them. The ensemble includes Milana Vayntrub, Cheyenne Jackson and Harvey Guillén; the film prioritises comedy, sometimes at the expense of suspense.
