A vampire seduces, a ghost lingers, a slasher stalks, but a werewolf has to <em>change</em> on screen, and the whole genre lives or dies on that single act of transformation — the buckling spine, the lengthening jaw, the moment a face you know becomes a snout you fear. It is the horror subgenre most bound to its craftspeople, because a bad wolf is a costume and a good one is a small miracle of appliances, cable rigs and timing. What follows is the load-bearing shortlist: the films that built the myth, broke it apart, and rebuilt it as adolescence, satire and grief. Where the transformation is the argument, these are the films that win it.</p>Mon, 19 Feb 2024 14:00:00 +0000
