Director: François Uzan
Werewolves crash a party game night in "Family Pack," a 2024 French comedy-adventure that turns a familiar parlor game into a full-blown supernatural mess.
What is Family Pack about?
The setup starts small: a group of players gathered for a village game night, eyes closed, taking turns pretending to be werewolves picking off villagers one by one. The joke curdles once the pretending stops being pretend, and the people around the table have to figure out how to survive a night that has genuinely turned dangerous. Franck Dubosc leads a cast that includes Jean Reno, Jonathan Lambert, Suzanne Clément, Grégory Fitoussi, Bruno Gouery, Lisa Do Couto Texeira, and Raphael Romand, playing the escalating panic for laughs as much as scares. Director François Uzan keeps the tone light even as the stakes rise, treating the transformation as an excuse for family-friendly chaos rather than genuine horror.

Franck Dubosc headlines opposite Jean Reno, with Jonathan Lambert, Suzanne Clément, Grégory Fitoussi, Bruno Gouery, Lisa Do Couto Texeira, and Raphael Romand rounding out the ensemble caught in the middle of the chaos.
Context & significance
At just under an hour and a half, "Family Pack" is built as a self-contained comedy rather than a franchise starter, leaning on its cast's comic timing more than special effects. The premise borrows the structure of the well-known social deduction party game, giving French audiences a recognizable hook before twisting it into something stranger. Setting the chaos in a small village rather than a city keeps the scale intimate, with the game-night cast doubling as the only line of defense once the fiction of the game stops being fiction.
