#Elsa speak ad movie
Quinn and Cameron's script is full of hilarious asides like Jovan's comments on Jack's "whole look" and Ulysses' standing coffin emblazoned with the words "this way up." And Harriet Sansom Harris leans into the gleeful villain role as Verussa, Ulysses' widow and mastermind of the hunt, leaving a monstrous mark in a short amount of time.īringing the audience from the horror movie past into the present through an overt Wizard of Oz reference playing with colour film and Judy Garland's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," Werewolf By Night leaves the characters with a Han-and-Chewie level banter scene and no indication of what's next. Telling other monster hunters to look for their precious hunter medallions up their own butts, Elsa gets most of the best jokes in the script. Not exactly a hunter and "the greatest disappointment of his life", Ulysses' daughter Elsa is here to claim her inheritance, played in classic noir-meets-Jessica Jones style by The Nevers/Outlander star Laura Donnelly.
Laura Donnelly kicks ass as Elsa Bloodstone. The director-composer's score has all the flurrying flutes and doom-filled horns of Creature from the Black Lagoon or The Curse of Frankenstein - there's even a person playing a flaming sousaphone. The Bloodstone hunt provides the majority of the action, set in a labyrinthine arena equipped with a Bioshock-style crackling gramophone, where Giacchino builds dread with every gorgeous frame, every suspicious stare, and his classic horror score, peaking in impressive, brutal fight scenes. The stakes are high, the players formidable, the creature initially fearsome, and one among them has a monstrous secret. He has long controlled the Bloodstone relic, a powerful supernatural weapon, and at his funeral, the gathered hunters participate in a ceremonial battle royale monster hunt to decide who next will wield it. Written by Heather Quinn and Peter Cameron, the premise for Werewolf By Night is simple: In the dead of night, a secret cabal of monster hunters are summoned to the art deco Bloodstone Temple following the death of their patriarch, Ulysses.
