  • Title: 100% Wolf
  • IMDb: link

In 2020’s 100% Wolf Freddy Lupin (Ilai Swindells) is disappointed, and banished, following his first ever moonlight transformation not into a werewolf but into a werepoodle. Shunned by his family, who believe he is cursed for losing a valuable relic years before, Freedy makes new friends on the streets and in the dog pound of the nearby town finding common ground with dogs (who apparently, for some reason, don’t normally get along with werewolves).

Monster Trucks

  • Title: Monster Trucks
  • IMDb: link

Obviously aimed at kids, Nickelodeon’s Monster Trucks would feel right at home in a double-feature with some of the live-action Disney films of the 50s and 60s (albeit with better special effects). The film follows the misadventures of teenager Tripp (MacGyver‘s Lucas Till) who ends up with a monster in his truck after it is forced out of its natural environment by a local oil drilling company. At first afraid of the creature, Tripp discovers having a monster be the engine of your truck has some advantages.

Azrael

  • Title: Azrael
  • IMDb: link

While I understand the idea behind 2024’s Azrael, in which Samara Weaving stars as a young woman on the run from a cult who believe speech is a sin and plan to sacrifice her to wandering burnt humanoids who they worship, the film never finds a way to transcend the basic concept in a way to make it work for an entire film. Without speech or narration, director E.L. Katz limits himself on how to frame the story relying mostly on Weaving running through the woods in fear of her life.

Samara Weaving stars as a young woman from modest means marrying into the Le Domas Family who, on her wedding night, discovers she must play a game with the entire family known for their gaming empire. However, this will be no ordinary game night. With hide-and-seek chosen from a mystical box, Grace must successfully hide from the family in their mansion (providing a terrific setting for the action) as they hunt and prepare to sacrifice her on an altar before sunrise.
