For some strange reason, werewolves are the one monster genre that hasn’t seen the explosion that other horror creatures, like zombies or vampires, have received. However, it seems that they’re making a bit of a comeback and aiming to make a stand for themselves.

Enter Lucas Birnie’s Were-Wool, which is currently on Kickstarter. The film is being pitched as a horror comedy along the lines of An American Werewolf in London meets Slither. As they put it, it’s “…an independent horror parody loaded with love, laughter, lycanthropy, and a hefty helping of practical gore and creature effects.”

Below is a concept teaser as well as the synopsis.

Synopsis:

Max Pemberton is your average everyday shmuck who has had to give up on his aspirations and settle into a more practical lifestyle in the rural town of Lafontaine with his long-time girlfriend and local veterinarian, Sarah Ackerman. Fed up with his work as an archivist for the local insurance broker Max makes a last-ditch effort to take charge of his life–that is, until under the light of the full moon when everything changes.

Max must now fight to rid himself of his affliction, trying to salvage what’s left of his humanity while managing his work life and his relationship before it’s too late.
