With this special, Marvel turns off the lights and starts down the dark basement stairs that every horror fan knows are trouble… though really, we’re all too intrigued by what’s at the bottom to tell them to stop.
[Werewolf by Night] has a clever conceit, chilly atmosphere, and droll sense of humor that suggests it might have worked quite well as a full-length feature. In its present form, though, it remains a bite-size treat that MCU diehards will find difficult to resist.

One of the best projects Marvel Studios has produced. A fantastic love-letter to classic horror but also a great starting point for some wonderful Marvel characters.

Werewolf by Night is one of the most unique Marvel projects that have ever created, using black-and-white as its main cinematography and practical effects instead of relying on CGI. The story and acting are also fantastic. This television special is definitely a worthy addition to the MCU.

e’re glad they rolled the dice. Giacchino is better known for his musical work — that moody, creepy score for The Batman is his — but as a director, he’s got a great sense of how to sustain a mood without losing momentum. ... We could use more creative distractions from mondo world-building like this. Just drop them more than once every full moon, please.
We’ve got a demonically well-decorated Halloween one-off that’s packed with treats for horror fans.
For now, it’s a perfectly pleasant diversion that never transforms into its full potential.
Ultimately, “Werewolf By Night” is entertaining at best, forgettable and disposable at worst, and a quick and easy way to introduce the title character, Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing, into the MCU.
Mostly monochromatic, Universal Monsters-spoofing, hour-long “special presentation”, which splits the difference between a feature and a half-hour TV episode, and manages to feel both draggy and slight in the process.
Um ótimo especial, atuações boas, uma história simples e uma estética, ótima direção e um horror bem controlado; também vale ressaltar a ótima atuação da Laura Donnelly. Também vale ressaltar que a duração e o ritmo são ótimos; esse especial entregou o que prometeu, uma história simples e curta de horror bem diferente do padrão Marvel. Essa produção foi um balde de água fria para mim depois dos últimos lançamentos da Marvel Estudio, junto com Loki, Homem Aranha No Way Home são as três melhores produções da Marvel nessa polêmica fase 4.

Some very fun and cool stuff going on, lightning quick pacing and plotting. The story and tone is a little uneven.

I don't get the 'just like classic Universal Horror' comments. It really isn't.
It is like most recent Marvel content though. Very dull and you know what, but I can't say or my review won't be posted.
There is also some really poor CG work that look like a cheap hand drawn cartoon with repeated frames in a loop to save time and money.
I'd say skip it, but there are people that liked this.

this is simply unfinished and underdeveloped. it wasn't funny, it wasn't memorable, there wasn't enjoyable action or real intrigue, the characters were not developed, the costumes were mediocre especially for the protagonist's transformation, and above all else all of this would have been much more acceptable *if it were the first episode of a series*. it's not, it's a standalone that is over before we know what's going on and is in horribly corny black and white. there was simply no reason for this. it feels like it was canned years ago for being generally sub par, and unshelved on a whim because they didn't have anything better for october. there is some potential here, but they didn't reach it by any means.
