the "monster" aspect is the over exaggeration of features. A realistic blending of lupine and simian features might be off putting to most but it's not really terrifying.
Further as always with Werewolves being a fantasy creature there isn't actually a real creature to compare too so you can only say "this is what I THINK werewolves SHOULD look like" not "this is what I KNOW werewolves DO look like."
Being a furry one of the oddest debates is "Do female werewolves have breasts?" It's easy to say Bipedal Humanoid Wolves would have them but is that what werewolves are? Would they have them or would they be super muscled savage killing machines who's gender wasn't visibly determinable? Maybe werewolves have 4 different forms? A human, a wolf, and athromorphic wolf and a hyper muscled "savage" form. Maybe they don't have a transitionary form.
It's easy to say "I think the effects look bad" but the statement "the effect isn't correct" is a objective thing.
