Weredeer (2022)

Max hasn’t seen his family in ages. But after dating Hannah for three years, she wants to meet them since he’s met her family. After a long drive, they arrive at the house with plans to stay a few days.  His cousins are friendly but Max is embarrassed when Bobby Kyle talks about his belief in Bigfoot. 

There’s a family tradition whoever arrives last has to chop the firewood. While Max is chopping wood, Hannah goes for a walk and sees a deer.  She doesn’t seem to know much about wildlife as she attempts to feed it a granola bar and is bitten. 

Oddly enough, when she get back to the trailer, she doesn’t mention the bite or have any concern about infection or rabies. Even though it’s oozing and horrible looking, she doesn’t wash it. She just sit on the couch and when Max notices, she says she’ll take care of it later.

Later when Hannah disappears from the bedroom, the family splits up and heads into the woods to find her.  What they don’t know is the the bite turned Hannah into a weredeer, and being in the woods makes them the perfect victims.

It’s a low budget horror comedy with some cringey dialogue and cliche characters. The musical score was lighthearted but distracting.   I did like when someone saw the weredeer, he realized it was Hannah which should be obvious since it’s wearing her clothing. Often in horror movies the obvious is ignored.


The CGI deer bites Hannah
Nah, I don’t care about my gooey bite 
The hoofs are my favorite part of the transformation 
Hannah realizes there is something really wrong
She bitch slaps people with her hooves
