1910, Arga, a remote village in North-western Spain. A terrible curse falls on the evil Marchioness of Mariño and her son, transforming him into a werewolf.
One hundred years later, Tomás Mariño, a failed loser writer and the only male descendent of the Mariño family, goes back returns to Arga to be awarded the Freedom of the Village. But things aren’t quite as they seem. The real reason behind the invitation is no other than to make him the protagonist of an obscure ceremony that must be carried out exactly one hundred years after the curse first came into effect. The sacrifice will put an end to the reign of the werewolf that has been terrorizing the villagers ever since.
However, Mariño, with the help of an old friend from the village, Calisto, will manage to escape. As the ceremony hasn’t been performed on the exact date, a second curse, much worse and dangerous than the first, will fall on the village… All the villagers will transform into raging hungry werewolves!
From then on, our guys together with Mario, Tomas’ cheeky editor, and Rosa, Tomas’ grandmother, will be forced to spend the longest and most terrifying night of their lives trying to escape devicing. But the clumpsy amount of schemes they will come across with to get rid of the hell of beasts that Arga is now hosting guarantees that nobody will lose their sense of humour.

“Game of Werewolves” is conceivedwith the goal of offering pure entertainment with the highest artistic and technical quality in order for it to become a phenomenon resembling that latest successes of the Spanish film industry such as genre films “The Orphanage” or “REC” and comedies like “Day of the Beast” or “Mortadelo y Filemón” just to mention a few. The key to this success resides in the originality of what is proposed: a combination of the two most widely accepted genres, horror and comedy, but adapting them to a rural setting.
With an obvious link to the old rural legends that still survive in certain areas of many european countries, the film will be a revision of the werewolf films, a horror sub-genre particularly original in Spain. This revision will go hand in hand with comedy in order to create an explosive cocktail that is hilarious, terrifying and visually striking. All with the aim of amazing the spectator and provoking in him the two most sought-after reactions: laughter and terror.
