The Werewolf Hour

About This Movie

The Werewolf Hour is a curious blend of horror and dark humor, wrapped in a TV movie format that feels both nostalgic and a bit rough around the edges. Igor Shevchenko’s direction gives it a certain atmosphere that's hard to pin down—like a late-night broadcast that teeters between unsettling and absurd. Kovalev, our protagonist, is a 50-year-old journalist whose transformation into a werewolf is triggered by a dog bite, and that sets the stage for some interesting themes around identity and ambition. The practical effects are charmingly dated, but they contribute to the film’s unique vibe. The pacing might not be for everyone, but there's a certain charm in its deliberate flow. It's the kind of film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, a testament to its quirky narrative.
