War is a complex subject, and many films have explored its effects on both those fighting and civilians caught in the middle.

However, one film continues to be considered a standout masterpiece in the genre.

Michael Giacchino’s Werewolf by Night kicked off the MCU’s ‘Special Presentations’ – standalone stories, starting with a Halloween special that introduced Gael García Bernal as Jack Russell, the werewolf.
