User Reviews

Better than Average Werewolf Movie

This is a better than average Werewolf movie. For a fairly low budget film, the quality is surprisingly high. The special effects are also much better than you would expect from this type of movie.

Jason Momoa is especially well cast as the head of the "Wolf Pack". He has the looks and the sheer physical presence to pull off this kind of role.

Far less successful is Lucas Till.At this point in his career, he simply does not have the experience to carry an entire movie. He comes across like a bland "Ken Doll", than a character with a dark secret in his past.

The script has a "been there done that" aspect to it. It steals elements from any number of previous movie sin this genre. Do not expect anything even remotely new or innovative here.

If you like werewolf movies, this one is worth your while to watch.
