Initial Reaction to American Werewolves (2023), a documentary by Small Town Monsters
Ordinarily, I put a trailer at the top of my review posts, but since the whole film is free on YouTube, I am going to give you my two cents and post it below.
Initial reaction 5/5.
American Werewolves was published on YouTube July 20 and is available on the FilmRise Movies channel.
This documentary is a must see. It is well edited, the cinematography is great, and the sound design for an independent project is superb (as are most projects from Small Town Monster).
The dogman is a relatively common cryptid that is seen in the US, probably second only to bigfoot. The biggest difference is that the dogman, which may be a Werewolf, is a predator that has and will hunt humans as a food source. So, I guess it’s time to invest in silver and cast some .450 rounds.
Many of the interviews in the documentary seem sincere with at least one being brought nearly to tears. Several of the accounts state the creature was or was perceived as actively hunting them. This includes experienced hunters themselves, not just random passersby.
The most chilling interview detailed a horrific scene from April 2006 when female went for a jog and never returned. The interviewee who is a researcher found the remains of this lady’s clothing that were soaked in still wet blood. It happened in the area of Germantown, OH. Other interviews while not gruesome are equally as harrowing leaving many with trauma and nightmares.
This 1hr and 21min documentary is free on the FilmRise Movies YouTube channel.
Additionally, Werewolves Unearthed which will drop on the Small Town Monster’s YouTube channel October 1st at 2pm. In the meantime do check out FilmRise Movies and Small Town Monsters cannels. The latter just uploaded a new episode of On the Trail of Bigfoot.
