On October 23, 2024, Netflix invites you to plunge into the mysterious, offbeat world of Loups-Garous, a fantasy comedy directed by François Uzan(Lupin). Inspired by the famous board game, this film brings together renowned actors such as Jean Reno, Suzanne Clément and Franck Dubosc, for an adventure where humor and suspense combine in a sleepy village atmosphere... or almost. Loups-Garous promises to turn an ordinary night into a deadly game of hide-and-seek, where each inhabitant could well be more than he seems.
In Loups-Garous, a small, remote village plunges into silence as night falls. All the inhabitants close their eyes, but for some, the night is just beginning. The village has been the scene of strange phenomena ever since werewolves took up residence there, spreading panic among the villagers. Every night, under the moonlight, the creatures prowl, and every morning, a new mystery emerges: who among them is the werewolf?
The film's trailer hints at a Jumanji feel: a family gathered to play the board game Werewolves of Thiercelieux find themselves literally drawn inside the role-playing game they're playing. The film thus plays on the codes of the game and transforms reality, creating a universe where danger is as palpable as the humor.
The villagers, in turn accusers and accused, find themselves plunged into an intrigue where paranoia and alliances are formed and distorted. Black humor and bizarre situations punctuate this tale where everyone is a suspect, and the truth is only revealed in the wee hours of the morning, if anyone survives to discover it.
Werewolves will appeal to fans of fantasy comedies who enjoy stories where mystery and humor go hand in hand. Fans of films such as Shaun of the Dead or Le Bal des Vampires will appreciate the offbeat approach and absurdist humor that characterize this film. What sets Werewolves apart is its inspiration from the eponymous board game, which brings a unique interactive and psychological dynamic to the story. The film plays on the codes of the genre while revisiting them with a touch of the French touch, where humor skilfully blends with suspense, making the plot as entertaining as it is captivating.
Werewolves, available on Netflix from October 23, 2024, is a fantastic comedy that will win you over with its blend of humor, suspense and mystery. With careful direction by François Uzan and outstanding performances by Jean Reno, Suzanne Clément and Franck Dubosc, this film will plunge you into a night when no one is safe. Get ready for an evening where appearances are deceptive, and the game becomes as dangerous as it is funny. An adventure to savor, alone or with friends, for a cinematic experience as surprising as it is amusing.
