Werewolf killing four jocks in a revenge fashion as in Carrie or hulking out, be like Peter Parker mutilating Flash Thompson, I'm not making a comedy out of it or a campy version.
What you think of a mean jock bitten by his rival when he hazed him by throwing him into a lake and his curse made him turn to the dark side like the werewolves in The Howling.

Not my idea, but I do recall reading one premise I liked a couple years ago for a movie that was supposed to be in the works called Human (pretty sure that was the title, don't quote me on that). The plan was to basically tell the reverse story, with a human biting a wolf and turning it part human. Don't know what came of it, but it sounded like an interesting idea.

Don't know if it's the same movie, but there's a film called 'Audie and the Wolf' with a similar premise, a wolf turns into a killer human every full moon. I've not seen it myself, not even sure if it's on general release.

Have werewolves that are science based like the vampires in Blade.

That really could have been an interesting option for a werewolf movie.

What you think of having more malevolent werewolves like the Howling? like one who was a jerk to begin with like a Gaston or a Cal Hockley.

What you think of having more malevolent werewolves like the Howling? like one who was a jerk to begin with like a Gaston or a Cal Hockley. I like the idea of it, but it seems that when movies try to do something like that, the execution doesn't come out the way you want it to. I feel like the reason isn't that "evil" werewolves are hard to do, but the people who get inspired to write about them don't know what to do with them. In fact, yesterday I saw that SyFy was putting Red: Werewolf Hunter on later in the afternoon and had to give it a try. And this was a movie where they pit humans against lycanthropes based on traditional animosity and a racial divide. I didn't feel like turning it off midway through, but I probably won't ever see it again now that I have. They just didn't have what it took to capture my interest beyond the fact that it was a werewolf flick that I hadn't seen before. Big Bad Wolf was an interesting concept, and I consider it a guilty pleasure among werewolf films, but the final product isn't anything that could be taken seriously in any way. The reboot of the Howling series tried it, and though no one will ever call it the worst movie with that franchise tag on it, it's far from being strong enough to churn out sequels of its own. The percentages are low with these flicks. Perhaps the best one I can recall seeing was An American Werewolf in Paris, and although I still enjoy that one to this day, it had problems of its own and wasn't received all that well in general. The lone, cursed, tragic individual afflicted with lycanthropy may be a bit cliche for the genre, but the formula can be rather simple if you let it. As for the other type of movie, you need a group of power hungry shape shifters with a clear motivation, a compelling human adversary, and all the little stuff to go right in order to make it work. That said, it won't stop me from looking for good ones, because I'm craving a movie that could really make that angle work. |

My ideas about it are on page 3, high school jock gets bitten by his rebel John Connor type rival when he and his buddies throw him into a lake for having feeling for his girlfriend causing her to dump him. His lycanthropy turns him into a psychopath and plans to take revenge on the other who is the typical tragic werewolf who the girl has sympathy for. |

A satanic covern are trying to call up satan. They fail, as is normal for them. An argument ensues about whether or not prepackaged chicken gizzards are a suitable replacement for an actual chicken. Meeting ends and the satanists, get changed and head off.
One of them is riding his bike on a back street when a large old fashioned limo pulls up along side him and the red tinted window roles down to show a business man played by Ray Wise, with his tan and wide smile. "Hey man, have I got a deal for you".
The businessman is, of course, the devil and it turns out prepackaged chicken gizzards work after all. He makes a deal with the satanist, offing to make him strong, a pack leader, someone everyone will look up to, make all the girls go wild about him, and so forth. Of course the satanist agress, I mean what could go wrong with a deal like that?!
The devil gives him a jar of ointment and told to go home and rub it all over, and by the following night he'll feel like a new man. The satanist happy heads home, though with a twinge of a doubt, but goes through with rubbing himself in the ointment.
Sure enough the following night he's a new man. When the full moon rises, he sprouts hair and fangs and claws. Becoming an 8ft werewolf!!
True to the devils word:
He's strong.
Everyone looks up to him - as he's taller than anyone else.
Women go wild - screem, run about in terror, attack him,
Leader of the pack - all the stray dogs keep following him around.
From here, things don't go well for the satanist, or anyone he meets during the next 3 nights of the full moon.

Oh, if I had a nickel for every time I've been there. Funny how everyone's quick to call into question the poultry or candles to shift attention away from shoddy ritual practices. Reaper fan, by any chance? |

As I said have a werewolf bad guy who's like Gaston or Cal Hockley who's motivation is jealousy over his trophy girlfriend's friendship with his rival. |

dryst - Yes, I'm a reaper Fan. Own both 1st & 2nd series and was irritated they cancelled the show. @jamish - I much prefer the films where the werewolf(s) are either the protagonist or the antagonist, not both. But maybe I just need to see a well done film based on your premise.

Having two werewolves were one is the protagonist and the other the antagonist like Vampire Diaries, a werewolf story with a love triangle. |

Have werewolves that are science based like the vampires in Blade, a separate species, try to explain why they transform at a full moon, not have them be killed by a silver bullet they can be killed by any weapon.
