From ‘Wolf’ To ‘Howl’, Here Are 9 Movies To Watch If You Want To See Werewolves While We Wait For ‘Bhediya’
Halloween is near and this means that the spooky season is officially here. It brings with itself, a bunch of scary movies, stories and legends. One such legend is that of the werewolves. The humans who are super strong with only one weakness i.e. the full moon. These creatures shed their human form on full moon nights and turn into scary, dangerous and spooky wolves who can only be defeated with silver bullets. It’s a legend that is very old and every few years, we see new movies that try to capture and twist it in their own special ways. One such upcoming Bollywood movie is Bhediya.
This is, in fact, Bollywood’s first movie that is based on the legend of werewolves. This much-awaited movie stars Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon in lead roles. Bhediya, directed by Amar Kaushik, is all set to be a horror-comedy. It is supposed to be the third instalment in producer Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy universe after the 2018 film Stree and the 2021 film Roohi. Sounds super exciting, doesn’t it?
Although, while the howls of the Bhediya are yet to make their way to the theatres, all the talk about this movie and its upcoming trailer have left us jonesing for a dose of werewolf movies and stories, haven’t they? Are you too wondering which movies to watch, to fulfil this seriously scary craving? Here’s a list to guide you to the best titles across various genres.
