At the funeral of a great monster hunter, his descendants and rivals participate in a hunting race, in which some of the guests hide unexpected secrets.
'Werewolf By Night' is an unexpected surprise from Marvel. In terms of duration, it's more like a teaser, probably a short version of a potential superhero story; in terms of style, it is built as a tribute to old black and white horror movies, where the roles are reversed: the monsters are benevolent and the positive characters and the hunters are the "bad guys". The homage is well done, the black and white style has a melancholic and effective impression, and the old school effects are memorable (especially the scene with the animatronic corpse).
