Frank Grillo hypes up the violence in his new horror movie Werewolves. Werewolves is a creature-based horror film about a duo of scientists who are working to stop a mutation that transforms people into werewolves a full year after they encounter a super-moon. The film is directed by Steven C. Miller and written by Matthew Kennedy.

Yeah, I keep saying it, I read the script, I immediately called him, and I was like,"Brother, this is The Purge meets werewolves." I said, specifically, Anarchy, it feels like Anarchy meets werewolves. And we've said it a few times, we had to kind of tone it down. We had to tweak the script a bit so it wasn't too much like Purge, but that's how I described the film, because I know how many people love those Purge movies, specifically Anarchy and Election.

&#x2715 Remove Ads Still, Grillo's promise that audiences who enjoy The Purge: Anarchy and Election Year will"love this movie " is promising. Grillo's Purge movies could ride the existing horror franchise name, capitalizing on repeat viewers for the new installments. Werewolves hopes to garner the interest of new audiences, which is a considerably harder task.
