There's a new werewolf horror film on the way called I Am the Teeth, and it's got a rather familiar face from the wrestling world in the cast. Chris Jericho is starring in the creature feature from director Scott B. Hansen, playing a bounty hunter known as The Hunter. The project is currently being presented to potential buyers at the American Film Market, with Epic Pictures Group handling sales through its Dread Originals label.

The film centers on five middle school kids who head into the woods looking for a lost pet. They get rather more than they bargained for when they stumble across a werewolf and manage to trap it, only to discover that the creature is actually a young woman who disappeared more than ten years earlier. Unfortunately, they've also got The Hunter to contend with, and he's not exactly turning up to help.

Jericho has been popping up in horror films for a while now, with roles in Terrifier 2, Terrifier 3 and Dark Match already under his belt, and director Scott B. Hansen has previously worked on Bad Candy and Devour. The filmmakers are also citing films such as Silver Bullet, The Goonies and The Monster Squad as influences. 

Hope Jordan and Thomas Parobek are also among the cast. Hansen is directing from a screenplay written with J.R. Curtis and Desiree Hansen. Only selected scenes have been shot so far, with the footage being used to attract distribution partners at AFM. Full production is expected to begin in early 2027, so there's no release date at this stage.

More details on I Am the Teeth are expected as the project moves further into production.
