Werewolf horror movies revolve around lycanthropy, cursed transformations and human beings becoming wolf-like creatures. Traditionally associated with the full moon, werewolf stories often explore the conflict between human identity and uncontrollable animal instincts. The subgenre ranges from classic Universal-style monster movies to violent creature features, Gothic horror, body horror and modern transformations driven by infection or hereditary curses. Many films focus on the physical transformation itself, while others emphasize secrecy, tragedy or the fear of harming others. This list collects classic, cult and contemporary werewolf movies centered on lycanthropes, shapeshifters and the terrifying transformation from human to beast.
