SALEM HORROR FEST: The Wereback (2021)

Amongst the claustrophobic confines of a truck carrying undocumented imgrants across the U.S./Mexico border — the coyote pun perhaps unintended, but when the title of your film is The Wereback all bets are off — one woman is containing true horror inside her as the full moon causes a transformation.

Directed by the Estrada Brothers, this looks gorgeous and has some moments of genuine terror. It’s a short, so you’re going to be left wanting more, but isn’t that the hallmark of something that is really trying for greatness?

The Wereback is now playing Salem Horror Fest and you can watch this short and all of the features with their virtual pass now until the end of October.
