The Boy Who Cried Werewolf

A family-friendly fright-comedy directed by Eric Bross, this 2010 TV movie follows a Californian family who inherit a castle in Romania. The trip thrills their monster-obsessed son, whose fascination with the supernatural soon proves well-founded once strange happenings begin. Blending comedy, family, and fantasy with gentle, kid-appropriate scares, the film leans into playful creature-feature fun rather than genuine terror. Light and breezy in tone, it is aimed at younger viewers and families looking for a tame, lighthearted spin on classic monster lore. The film carries a MagicMovieScore of 6.4.
