Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Watchful Eye I'm an avid fan of good horror films. Unfortunately, there are only a few decent horror movies coming out each year. The rest are just demented jumpscare and gore festivals, or pointless teeny romancey bits.Wer puts the werewolf back to where it should be - a dark, fearsome and primal entity. The story plays very low-key for a long time, and that is a commendable choice by the writers/directors. I really love the way the suspense builds, and that we are not shown some cheesy puppy transformation scene in the beginning of the film.What can I say? It's definitely not perfect, not the best horror movie ever. But it's definitely among such classics as Dog Soldiers, Ginger Snaps, American Werewolf in London, and The Company of Wolves. I've watched the movie twice now, which is extremely rare in my case, and probably will watch it again sometime in the future.
Mark Stromberg Strongly by pass, save your time, nerves and mind !Judging by the ratings of the film received some disgustingly incompetent they did. And seeing this ugly picture moments that disfigure writer and director, casting doubt on whether Homo Sapiens they are, I realized that this sh1t can contemplate only a mindless idiot who only mediocrity Give embodies their stupid fantasies based on delusions and dullness (taking into account all the nuances of their script and story) This will not do, well, just in any reasonable and adequate framework... Except that, a feeling that once again filmed for some stupid 15 yo's (max.) pimply teen ... With such success ... it is time screenwriter and director should be sent immediately at a landfill or rubbish dump - - and take shoot such series as "Code Name: Eternity".And the problem is not that is the budget was a little weak ... but in theirs terrible mistakes of the plot story and the episodes, which were based on the absence of any reasonable and adequate logic buyout disfigured everything they filmed. Dear and insufficiently respected writers, directors, this personal request personal to you, please, raise your IQ at first before trying to make movie something like that, and do not so much disgrace yourself by wretchedness of your thought.A.J.Cook? though if I download this horror, her acting, type never would remind me of "Criminal Minds"? Ehmm .. I doubt ... but probably all watched the movie .. just for the sake of Blondie ...and looking at her acting game, I realized ... What a shame it, this A.J.Cook captured in this sh1t-movie ....And all the other actors playing the same disgusting ... and then they just do not believe, and even throw something desirable (each at its discretion what exactly) Sorry for such criticism, but so I just kind of person. When I was by sh1t inveigle in, I react to your ugliness, I do not blame that make such ugly films and in which the actors are eager to disgrace myself even.Still, the best moment of the film, and only for the sake of which he was, IMHO, is worth a look - 1h. 15m. 28-31 seconds. And the only one distinctive from the others coped with their work properly - is the composer.
Miss_Xray Thats all i could stand of that shaky camera. So i cant judge the rest. But i really cant watch that... Its just too annoying. How can i add 10 lines of text when i just say 8 minutes?? Well i just felt like expressing my opinion of this despite not seeing more of it. So what else can I say. If its been executed ( is that the right word ? ) in a different way maybe who knows if it might have been good. Well I can add that.. people need to have a real well trained dog or they should keep it on a leash so it doesn't run off into the woods where people have to run after and get killed. Seeing all the top marks here of the film I get curious, but I don't think I will ever be able to watch it like the way it is made. There.. Enough said from me ?
TdSmth5 An American family is camping in France (?) with their dog and all. At night and during the full moon, suddenly the dog vanishes, the father goes looking for it, then something attacks him and the rest of the family. This all filmed by them. The wife survives. She tells the police she was attacked by some tall thin hairy guy with huge hands. Next the police arrest a guy named Talan who lives in the area with his mother.His defense lawyer is for some reason an American lawyer living in France. She works with some Indian guy who procures information and she also calls one of her exes who is a scientist.They interview Talan, who's rather quiet, shy, and reserved. They inspect the mutilated bodies and conclude it was some unknown animal that attacked the family. They interview the mother and find out that the father died in a mysterious one-car accident. Talan suffers from some condition that weakens him and causes him to be bed-ridden on some days. The government is also after their land because it's suited for nuclear waste disposal.When a rancher's horses are attacked the police mount an operation and kill the culprit--a bear.The researcher discovers that the unidentified condition from which Talan suffers could be porphyria. To confirm they have to perform some tests on him--a corneal swab and expose him to strobe lights. The corneal swab result is positive. During strobe light exposure Talan flips out, kills everyone brutally. All this in front of his defense team and the cops.Talan escapes to a building where the police mount an operation to capture him. They shower him with bullets but he's unaffected. He just wipes out all the cops then jumps from the building to the ground and escapes to his home in the country.They mount another operation to capture him--at night for some reason. But in the meantime something is happening to the scientist. We learn that he was bitten by Talan during a jail scuffle and now he's changing. And he actually realizes that only he will be able to face Talan.Wer is yet another update on the tired old POV movie format. While things start out POV, after the family attack, there is no moron there to "film everything no matter what." In the end the movie is more of a hybrid POV. It's mostly third person perspective but retains some POV camera-work--the camera angles, and some movements. Fortunately we are spared the hysteric shaking camera as well as the awful cheap green nightvision. But Wer retains some of the POV weaknesses--a cast you can't care about and some logic-defying stuff.It is however a remarkable improvement in terms of budget, effort, effects, and story. The important thing is that there is here an objective story. It's not about some idiots bickering at each other for two hours and losing their minds. There's plenty of cool gore and some very neat special effects and wirework. They even use a chopper and explosions.Not only is it an upgrade of POV movies but also a good effort at restoring some credibility to the werewolf genre which has been terribly abused by greedy filmmakers who couldn't care less about the genre. With Wer and the great Dracula Untold perhaps we'll see an updated revival of classical monsters.
