It's hard because the idea of a man changing into a wolf is cool. But almost impossible to write a plot around, because whatever happens, we just want to see a man turn into a wolf. Nobody seems to have the sense to START a film with a transformation sequence, have the main character have no idea what is happening to him, massacre a bunch of people and be hunted, learning what he is as he goes, becoming ever more tragic, ever more hunted.
Forget the ensemble bunch hunting the werewolf approach. Unless it's gonna be a coen brothers or tarantino type script, nobody cares about that shit. Start bloody, get tragic, stay bloody, stay tragic. Man knows what he is, but wants to live. Stay with his POV even when he's the wolf, so we want him to survive but also can hardly bear the viciousness he visits upon the innocent. Maybe there's a film there, maybe not, but anything that appears to be in the mould of Van Helsing can eat me.
And Werewolf: The Beast Among Us is so jaw-droppingly badly titled it's hard to believe even anybody involved thinks it isn't dogshit
