A Werewolf Boy (2026) is a Philippine fantasy romance film and a local remake of the beloved 2012 South Korean movie of the same name. Produced by Viva Films in collaboration with Studio Viva and CJ ENM, the movie reimagines the original story within a Filipino setting, blending heartfelt romance with gentle fantasy elements.
The film follows Sara, a young woman whose family relocates to the countryside for her health and well-being. One day, while exploring their new property, she encounters a mysterious feral boy living alone in the woods. Unable to speak or behave like other children, he survives by instinct, moving and reacting more like an animal than a human.
Moved by curiosity and compassion, Sara’s family takes him in and names him simply “Boy.” As Sara patiently teaches him how to behave, eat, and connect with others, a special bond forms between them one grounded in kindness, care, and the universal desire for belonging. But Boy carries a wild, uncontrollable side that becomes more apparent under the full moon, complicating their growing connection.
As friend and family dynamics change and outside threats surface, Sara must protect Boy while confronting her own fears and the limitations of human acceptance. The Philippine version intentionally shifts certain emotional beats and offers a unique ending tailored for local audiences, balancing romance, drama, and fantasy in a way that resonates with Filipino filmgoers.
