MODELS VS. WEREWOLVES Dee Wallace! Comedy horror – overview and trailer

‘Beauty is a beast’
Models vs. Werewolves is a 2026 horror-comedy in which five young models go to an Airbnb in the woods for a special full moon that comes once every five hundred years. What starts off as the perfect girl’s trip quickly becomes a nightmare as a pack of ancient werewolves are awoken by the new lunar event.

The plot combines traditional werewolf horror with campy humour, splatter and a satirical look at social-media influencers and modelling culture.

The movie was directed by Danny Draven (Restitution; Bad CGI Gator; Weedjies: Halloweed Night; Patient Seven; Reel Evil; The Offerings; Aliens Gone Wild; Urban Evil; I, Vampire; Dark Walker; DeathBed; Cryptz; Hell Asylum; Horrorvision).

It was produced by prolific low-budget horror filmmaker Charles Band.

The Full Moon Features production stars Bella Mraz, Rebecca Stoughton, Sophie Swiszcz, Alexa Reddy, Hannah Hueston, Sarah Moliski, Dee Wallace and Tate Doppler.

Plot:
The story follows five young models and social-media influencers who decide to escape the city for a weekend getaway at an isolated Airbnb in the countryside.

Their trip coincides with an extraordinary lunar event: a full moon that supposedly occurs only once every five hundred years.

Initially, the women are more concerned with enjoying themselves, taking photographs and creating impressive social-media content than worrying about their remote surroundings.

However, their seemingly idyllic getaway takes a sinister turn when the unusual lunar phenomenon awakens an ancient pack of bloodthirsty werewolves.

The creatures begin hunting the unsuspecting visitors, transforming the girls’ holiday into a desperate fight for survival.

As the night progresses, the models discover that their glamorous appearance and social-media popularity offer little protection against the savage supernatural predators stalking them.

The group must find a way to survive the night before they become the werewolves’ next victims…

Overview:
The film appears to embrace the deliberately ridiculous side of low-budget horror, combining:
Werewolf transformations and creature attacks
Blood, violence and exploitation-style horror
Campy humour and deliberately exaggerated characters
Satire aimed at influencer culture and self-obsessio
A secluded countryside setting and survival-horror elements

The presence of icon Dee Wallace is particularly noteworthy for horror fans, having previously appeared in many genre movies from The Hills Have Eyes (1977), The Howling (1981) and Cujo (1983) onwards.

Critical reception:
Reviews have been mixed. One review praised its campy entertainment value, while another criticised the werewolf effects, particularly their use of generative AI.
