	Author	Review
United States	Tomris Laffly Variety	"Josh Ruben's consistently entertaining whodunit puts a fresh, 'Knives Out'-style spin on the cabin-in-the-woods subgenre."	POS
United States	Matt Fowler IGN	"Not every joke lands, and not every character fits, but overall it's an entertaining alternative to the season's more ghoulish and grim offerings."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The film is neither funny nor frightening enough for [its] ideas to really land — like Finn, it’s too timid for its own good."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The resourceful young director has once again proven his ability to make something out of nothing"	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"[The] antics are enjoyable for the most part. However (...) 'Werewolves' can sometimes be overly spastic and annoying. You lose patience with all the shrieking and running and accusing (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Lena Wilson The New York Times	"This overstuffed script drips with blink-and-you’ll-miss-them jokes that lampoon everything and challenge nothing, least of all monstrosity itself."	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"[Ruben] knows how to work with skilled actors in a confined space (...) It’s also hard to overstate what a delight it is to spend time with this cast."	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"[Its] appeal gets lost when the audience isn’t supplied anything resembling nuanced characters"	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"[This is] goofy and skillful [horror], with a lot of charisma across the board to paper over its shortcomings (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"This goofy horror comedy just goes to prove that if you have a great cast, smart direction and witty script you can just about get away with murder (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
