Horror Game Adaptation Werewolves Within Gets Funny And Scary First Trailer

The first trailer for Werewolves Within has been released. The comedy horror movie is based on Ubisoft's VR game of the same name. It hits theaters on June 25 and On Demand on July 2.

The movie is set in the small town of Beaverfield. A snowstorm has trapped the residents in the town, and a terrifying werewolf is picking them off, one-by-one. The movie centers on forest ranger Finn and a postal worker Cecily, who team up to find out which of the locals is the murderous beast. It looks like great mix of laugh and scares--check the trailer out below:

Werewolves Within stars Sam Richardson (Veep, Promising Young Woman) and Milana Vayntrub (Silicon Valley, This is Us) as Finn and Cecily, plus Sarah Burns (Barry), Catherine Curtin (Orange Is The New Black), Harvey Guillén (What We Do In The Shadows), Rebecca Henderson (Russian Doll), and Cheyenne Jackson (30 Rock). It's directed by Josh Ruben, who previously helmed last year's comedy horror Scare Me.

In a recent interview with Daily Dead, Ruben spoke about what viewers can expect from the movie. "The one thing I can tell you is that for Werewolves Within, we definitely upped the ante on the horror side," he said. "Also, I say this as fully biased and as unbiased as I possibly can, but it really delivers because of the cast. The cast is out of control, and each and every one of them have so excelled in their careers individually because of how talented they are. I think one of the biggest reasons that I was able to put this awesome cast together is because I'd put in the work over many years where I was trying to staff up as a creator, but also, I just wanted to be a good person, a nice person that people wanted to work with."

The Werewolves Within game was released in 2016 for the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR. As in the movie, players must work out which member of a town is a werewolf in disguise, although the setting in the game is a medieval-style fantasy town.
