Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
For a werewolf movie, I love it! Though, it isn't perfect. Some scenes have not-so-great CGI, making it too weird and unrealistic. The highest praise I will give this movie is definitely the makeup and costume design...very cool to look at! The acting is pretty good for a direct-to-DVD-and-Blu Ray movie. The story isn't anything new, but it's decent. Sadly, what killed the movie is the aforementioned CGI; not only that, there's a certain scene that seems to be forced and could have been better without. But for the most part, I had a great time watching this movie. I really like the action scenes, the acting, and most of all, the really cool makeup and costume design!
In the 1980s we had Teen Wolf, for the 2010s crowd it's Wolves (although not a comedy)! I think some of the Twilight crowd would like this film, and some of us that like B horror might like this movie too. It's not a top notch movie but it does entertain - fun as heck to watch.I love the "Wolf Man" look to these werewolves - well done and a nice nod toward the "Wolf Man" films (and werewolf films along a similar vein).I've been wondering if this film was any good - I got it in a film pack and I'm glad I did... I've really enjoyed this movie! A very entertaining modern werewolf film. I am pleasantly surprised I like this one so much - I do love werewolf films but not all of them are good but this one is worth a watch IF you don't mind some teenage lead roles.7/10
The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: Cayden starts out as a high school quarterback with a fine girlfriend. Things devolve quickly for him. His behaviour on the field brings up questions. When the girlfriend suggests having sex in her car, his arousal triggers something else, and she runs screaming. He returns to his home only to awake with his parents dead and blood on his hands.While the cops attempt to get enough evidence on him to put him away, Cayden hits the road. He eventually meets Wild Joe at a bar, and Wild Joe points him to Lupine Ridge.Delineation of conflicts: Cayden wants to know more about who he is, and why he goes through these changes. The people in Lupine Ridge know some of the answers, but do not give them up all that easily. A gang in town is rather monopolistic about who holds what power in and around the town, and Cayden does not fit in that scheme. The people in the town and the gang outside of town have only an uneasy peace, and law enforcement seldom spends any time in the area.Resolution: Cayden needs to uncover and resolve the tension between the town folk and the gang.
I got this movie thinking it was going to be a cheap werewolf version of twilight but gave it a go as the other reviews were pretty positive. Have to say I was really impressed. The special effects were excellent and not CGI'd, which is a nice change.The action is kept at a good pace and although the story has been played out in a 1000 other movies I still found myself getting quite into it.As someone with a limited attention span this movie passed my mobile phone test and I didn't check eBay or Facebook once, which I have done with a few recent werewolf releases.As a werewolf fan I've had a couple of favourites lately (Wer and Late Phases) and this was up there with them.This movie isn't going to win any Oscars but it's an easy and enjoyable watch with really good monsters.
