Twelve men and women (Lydia Hearst, Teala Dunn, James Crittenden, André Tempfer, Ethan Ingle, Robert Picardo, Tabitha Jane, Cara Claymore, Tim Realbuto, Mk McManus, Leon Andrew Joseph, Bai Ling) from all walks of life and from all over the country are drugged, kidnapped and brought to a remote island where they are forced by "the Judge" (Tony Todd) to play Werewolf, actually a well-known and well-liked murder mystery party game that eliminates two players per round until one faction, either the "villagers" or the "werewolves", reaches supremacy. Only our motley crew of strangers are to play it in real time, and all the murders are actually real. And the island is well guarded, so escape seems to be rather impossible. Of course, our heroes and heroines could beat the system by collaborating and working methodically. But a few too many alpha dogs among them as well as self interests coming into play prevent them doing just that, and so what's normally a beloved party game becomes a bloodbath ...

So ok, several aspects of this movie, from the premise to the masks of the guards, are quite a bit of reminiscent of the popular South Korean TV series Squid Game, which premiered its second season only weeks before Werewolf Game's release, but that out of the way, this movie is anything but a carbon copy of the series and more of a pretty cruel psycho thriller driven by well-fleshed out characters who are afforded engaging character arcs and who are played by a capable and relatable cast. And the result is basically pretty cool genre cinema.
