CollegeHumor alum Josh Ruben clearly has a knack for finding the comedy in true-blue horror, both with his debut feature Scare Me and now his follow-up, Werewolves Within, a similarly meta exploration of what makes spooky stories so cinematically satisfying. In addition to being a clear send up of the Mafia-style party game "Werewolves," Werewolves Within is also a direct adaptation of the VR game of the same (with Ubisoft even helping produce it), so expect this one to pop up in a few "video game movies that are actually good" lists, hopefully near the top.
