Do real werewolves exist? A new documentary American Werewolves by Seth Breedlove poses that question. Breedlove presents a witness-focused study into the “dogman” phenomenon that pervades American folklore. American Werewolves debuts on major streaming platforms on July 5th, from 1091 Pictures, including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and FandangoNOW. This horrifying new entry into the Small Town Monsters canon is directed by Breedlove and produced by Heather Moser.
American Werewolves aims to explore the oft-overlooked aspect of American folklore involving thousands of people going missing in the United States each year. Comprised of around a dozen witness accounts, the film takes on the strange topic by giving those who have experienced it the space to directly present their encounters to the audience. Encounters discussed within the film range from brief run-ins on rural country lanes to horrifying, face-to-face confrontations that are the very fuel of nightmares. One witness even claims to have discovered the grisly, shredded remains of a werewolf victim.
Of the many possible terrifying ends to these encounters, the most shocking are the ones that possibly resulted in death. A woman jogging on a country road in rural Ohio goes missing. A man hiking into the mountains of Alaska turns up mutilated beyond recognition, his face mangled by something that seems to defy the natural predatory animals of the region. Thousands of people go missing in the United States each year, and the latest film from Small Town Monsters and director Seth Breedlove allows witnesses and a few brave investigators to present their theory that perhaps a real werewolf is behind some of these disturbing disappearances.
American Werewolves will be available on Cable VOD and Digital HD From 1091 Pictures Beginning July 5
