Reviews

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Ruby Chang I could literally go on and on about the characters being horrifically written. I want to. But I won't. If you have a deep well of patience, you'll be fine with this movie. If you are not planning to pay attention, you'll be fine with this movie. But otherwise... The characterization is just a huge problem. I have many other nitpicky issues, but this is such a big one that I think that's all that needs to be said (well, this and the major PLOT issues; how is one movie so bad??). Throughout the movie, the characters constantly throw me off with their bizarre behavior--and not in a good way. Barring the characterization, the movie is watchable, but unfortunately, a movie is nothing without its characters.
john dovle So the movie was a low movie budget with new actors and bad visual effects.At first i was searching for a movie and i went through the categories section to search and found this movie.I was not sure what to think of it because you see a werewolf type of creature on the main picture of the film and it's also marked as a comedy.But the developers of the program i am using were right that they placed the movie in the comedy section because the way the actors were acting was laughable and they weren't acting they seemed that they were like forced to play in the movie, like someone was forcing them with a gun on the head to play on the movie and they were like OK lets do it so we can go home .That gangster Gonzo was bad a.f. and he tried to prove to the protagonist that he is strong by placing his hand a meter above the lighter like you could tell that his hand was too far away but man he was a tough guy that most of the people were afraid of him...Well i am not gonna say anything else and end this review right here.To anyone reading this you should know that this is my opinion.
normanclinker OK, so low(ish) budget by Hollywood standards with naturalistic lighting, no constructed sets and some hand held digital camera work - and all the better for that, by the way - but... just fresh and in parts very very funny. (Especially the bit where a gansta proves just how scary he is with a lighter!). I had to write this review having read some negative ones. Contrary to some you might have read there are no odd plot turns, no moments when you don't know what's going on, and above all the acting is great. I particularly like the relationship between the cousins.Definitely worth watching if you're a fan of the werewolf genre or just like off-beat, funny movies.
MikeHope44 I bought the DVD on the day of it's release and this is definitely one of the more better werewolf films i've seen as of late. There's a bit of everything suspense, horror, comedy, gore and action.It's refreshing to see that this particular film doesn't just rely on the beast itself to carry out everything. This is also a story driven film which makes it all the more interesting to watch as everything plays out.The special effects of the werewolf transformation may not be top notch Hollywood style but as a werewolf movie fan I applaud them for going with practical effects and animatronics it brings out more creativity and get's the actor involved instead of just having CGI do everything.Definitely a talented cast everyone seemed invested and brought the goods to the table. Ben Getz (Grotto, Multi-Player) does a wonderful job carrying his first full length film and if you buy the DVD (which I recommend because it comes with a funny blooper reel and audio commentary with the cast and crew) you'll find that not only is he talented but very dedicated to his character as well especially during certain outside scenes. That's something that will definitely work in his favor as an actor and I look forward to seeing more of him in future roles.Kyle Kirkpatrick, Zack Weiner (was hilarious throughout) and Paulina Singer were strong standouts as well.You'll find the title of this film is very fitting metaphorically because the beast in Jack himself is "Uncaged" once he reaches a certain age and literally because while Jack gets a cage with the exception of one time he tends to transform before he's securely inside which leads to some interesting things.All in all i'd give this movie a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a decent indie werewolf flick that's not like some of those thriller/horror movies you watch one time then forget about a few weeks later. This one has nice rewatch value that you'll enjoy for many full moons to come.
