A different kind of werewolf horror movie

In a little bottle it goes
Give it to the sea and someday you will see
Your dreams will bloom like a rose"

Just watched some werewolf comics on YouTube, and some of them gave me an idea for a different kind of werewolf horror movie.
Usually werewolves are portrayed as either mindless killing machines very few exceptions.
One time the werewolf was portrayed a bit like Freddy Kruger in how he enjoyed sadistically murdering his victims and even making jokes like "you gonna eat that?"
In two movies the werewolf was portrayed as a monster yes, but hinted as potentially a monster by choice.
One where it went out of his way to hunt down a child, and one where he was attempting to turn the protagonist into a shewolf because he thought she was a reincarnation of his mate.
One had a child werewolf who only hunted chickens, but that was a children's movie based on a children's book and not at all a horror movie. (I just kinda wanted to bring up this one as further example of different takes on werewolves.)
But what I have in mind is a different.
Imagine the movie having a scene that makes you think it's no different from other werewolf movies…
But that's how it gets ya!
The first werewolf attack ends with someone dying after the bite, and the werewolf is killed by the other bite victim, but the next werewolf that appears is very different…
It's like a giant wolf headed human with a disheveled body, so large that it stands far above the trees of the forest, and literally subdues it's prey firmly in one hand. It holds the dazed human to its face, smiling ever since it surprised him by peering down at him from behind, almost effortlessly silent. You'd think it would chomp him, or tear into him at that point, but no.
Instead, it pushes its snout into his chest, where it seems to sink into his flesh as it continues to push further, as if to fit its way into the human's tiny body… and yet despite the massive size difference, the beast continues going in deeper into the human's body.
It gets progressively smaller the further in it goes until it has somehow seamlessly entered his body, leaving the human who seemed to struggle to breathe throughout the process drop to his knees, growing fur on his body before the scene cuts to black.
Our survivor awakens in a hospital bed, greeted by a male nurse who tells him that he was found unconscious with a bite mark from an unknown animal, and that his bother, who also suffered a similar injury, unfortunately didn't make it. It was also made clear that no one else was found when the two brothers' bodies were discovered, leading to the assumption that anyone else was likely dead.
The surviving brother is eventually discharged from the hospital and is returned home, but he remains frustrated that the werewolf killed his brother. His anger does not subside, in fact, it seems to only increase as night falls, but soon, fur begins to grow long his body, before a light sound of crinkling could be heard. By the time he realized he was changing, the sudden discomfort turned to pain, and his mind was clouded by the will of the beast as it took over …
A scene straight after shows a teenage smuck walking his dog at night before his dog pulls loose from the leash and runs off.
The sounds of growling and snarling before the sounds of yelping and whining before silence implies the death of the dog, but is yet to be confirmed.
Before the smuck can run away and escape whatever fate befell his dog, he ends up walking right into the werewolf and is implied to be killed by the quick cut to the werewolf's snarling face before cutting back to the teenage boy screaming.
Later scenes in the movie would show a werewolf sneaking up behind a child, making it look like the child was about to be the on the kill count, but when face to face with the beast, after letting out a deep throated growl… it puts it finger on the child's lips and shushs them quietly before slowing removing their finger and "ape-walking" away…
Then, when the real attacks began.
A posh man and his date walk out from a dinner party when they heard a strange sound …
The posh man assures his date that it's just a dog, but surprise surprise, it's a werewolf, snarling at both of them!
And yet, it did not attack…? It just watches them run in fear? Giggling in the back of its throat??
Immediately after, we see an old man walking pass the same building close to the park, before he too is jumped by a werewolf …
After the old man has fallen to the ground, the werewolf advances over him… it grabbed him by flannel shirt, looking ready to bite has face off!
“But surely he could've done that a few seconds earlier right? We saw his muzzle inches away from the old man's bald head before he even jumped the old guy!” and yeah, good eye if you noticed that and thought something along those lines. But that's where we see what they primarily want …
When it look like we're about to get a first person POV of the old man getting his face mauled off, the werewolf breathes a smoke like mist into the old guy's face before letting him go. The shadowy mist forms the vivid shape of a werewolf's head around the old man's face before slowly fading as he coughs and wheezes from the mysterious substance. Suddenly, the old man covers his face, moaning in discomfort, as sections of his white hair turns gray, his ears grow pointed, his hands grow longer with his nails darkening and growing into claws, before removing his now elongated hands from his face to show his eyes turning yellow and him growing fangs as his otherwise bare face now grows a white scruff as he groans in discomfort while his head begins to reshape with a crickling sound, causing him to clutch his head in discomfort.
The werewolf stands up in its slouched posture, smiling at his handy work unfolding before the transforming old man reaches out to the beast, begging it to make it stop.
The beast, caught off guard by this begging, breathes the dark smoke into the old man's face again! The mist having the shape of a wolf's head was visible for a split second. The old guy recoils as he is once again put into a state of coughing and wheezing for air, before the crinkling heard lightly throughout his body resumed, and his moans and groans were replaced with throaty wails, as his body was being bent into new proportions against his will, causing a discomfort almost akin to pain, only outdone by the fear as of knowing the beast was altering who he was…
A laugh emanating from the werewolf's throat as he watch his victim change before him, seeing the fear in the old geezer's eyes, as he is powerless to the changes he is undergoing.
So more or less, the werewolves aren't out to kill. Their goal is to infect. To multiply. And some are actively choosing who to infect.
So the fear isn't from the monsters killing, but who they infect next, and how that will effect how the humans react.
After all, what's to say the humans don't kill off their own kind struggling against the infection?
All these werewolves want is to survive, so who's really the monsters here?
What do y'all think? Am I on to something or do I have no idea what I'm talking about?

If I had the patience and the resources, I would probably be working this all like now!
But alas, I'm one full of ideas, and only ideas …
