Hulu’s streaming library is constantly evolving, and subscribers can now stream one of the most underrated horror comedy movies of the last decade. Delivering an equal number of laughs and screams, movies like The Return of the Living Dead, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and the Scary Movie series have defined the genre, but a horror comedy that hit theaters in 2021 is deserving of just as much praise. That movie just joined Hulu’s streaming lineup, and it will leave you howling with laughter and cowering with suspense.

The movie in question is Werewolves Within, and it started streaming on Hulu on September 10th. Directed by Josh Ruben and written by Mishna Wolff, the 2021 comedy horror movie is based on Red Storm Entertainment’s video game of the same name and centers around a group of people in a small Vermont town who find themselves trapped in a bed and breakfast amid a snowstorm. When a series of grisly crimes begins to unfold, newly arrived forest ranger Finn and postal worker Cecily must try to keep the peace and uncover the truth behind the attacks and discover if a werewolf lurks among them. The star-studded cast features Sam Richardson, Milana Vayntrub, George Basil, Sarah Burns, Michael Chernus, Catherine Curtin, and Wayne Duvall.
Why You Should Watch Werewolves Within
Other movies in the genre may get more attention, but Werewolves Within is a hidden gem of a horror comedy that offers a perfect balance of both genres in a classic and beloved Agatha Christie-style whodunnit. Combined with it being an incredibly well-done adaptation of a video game, the movie appeals to a wide audience. It was well-received by both critics and audience members and holds a “Certified Fresh” Rotten Tomatoes distinction with an 86% critics’ score. Its audience rating sits at an equally impressive 80%.
The movie excels at a lighthearted, witty, character-driven mystery that keeps the laughs rolling with self-aware humor, a truly ridiculous premise, and a cast of talented comedic actors that perfectly deliver the jokes and twists and have great on-screen chemistry. Werewolves Within is also great at building suspense through its isolated setting and growing paranoia of the characters, helping to keep viewers on the edge of their seats and guessing the identity of the werewolf until the reveal. A great script and hilarious premise, stellar cast, and well-executed blend of genres make Werewolves Within thoroughly enjoyable and an incredibly fun watch.
Other Horror Movies Now on Hulu
Werewolves Within is a fun film to add to your Halloween movie marathons, and thanks to the September 2025 content lineup, there is no shortage of other horror movies freshly streaming on Hulu. Horror fans looking for more campy, lighthearted, and fun watches may want to press play on the absurb megalodon chomp fest blockbusters The Meg and The Meg 2: The Trench or the cult classic Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried-starring Jennifer’s Body.
