Werewolves follows Wesley Marshall, a former soldier and scientist who must protect his family during a deadly supermoon event. The moon activates a gene that turns exposed people into violent werewolves. Wesley works with scientist Amy Chen while trying to reach his sister Lucy and her daughter Emma. The film uses a fast, bloody action-horror tone with a small family survival story at its center. The film includes women and minority characters in important roles, but it does not present their identities as a main subject. Amy is a skilled scientist, while Wesley remains the main fighter and protector. The story focuses on mutation, survival, family duty, weapons, and finding a cure. It has no clear woke political dialogue, activist message, queer theme, or attack on Western culture.
