**Werewolf by Night makes bold creative decisions to embrace the monster movies vibe, and it pays off BIG TIME!** Werewolf by Night is my favorite Marvel film so far this year. The stylized approach with the black and white filter and film grain was a bold choice that gave the movie great atmosphere and nostalgia. Werewolf by Night embraced the horror genre and violence slightly more than other Marvel movies, with villains losing limbs and being eaten. However, it’s still a Disney+ special at the end of the day, so I wouldn’t call it particularly scary or violent. As a fan of Elsa Bloodstone in the comics, I enjoyed her character’s role and backstory in the movie, which connected this isolated creature feature to a greater universe. The creative choices, great but not overdone effects, the introduction of new heroes, and the horror approach make Werewolf by Night one of the best recent entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
