Watched this movie a bit ago and in my opinion this is one of the greatest werewolf/horror/slasher films ever made! The special effects, atmosphere and gore are awesome! This is a memorable one just like the howling! Today in horror films, especially in the werewolf genre it is difficult to find a lasting movie that affects you and that you want to remember! This one is pure gold standard! From beginning to end it will keep you interested and has no cliché parts that other retarded films have! Pure addrenalin for sure!

This could very well be a perfect film. Werewolf? Not a Werewolf? This movie kept me completely involved. What started out as an "unexplained attack" turned into a police style drama, complete with enough evidence to make you think that maybe this isn't a "Werewolf" movie, and when it's over, maybe it isn't... or, is it?This was so well written, and filmed, and acted, that I immediately want to watch it again. Brian Scott O'Conner, was fantastic as Talan Gwynick, the main antagonist. This is his only credit, and I SO want to see him do something else. He has the potential of becoming the next Horror Icon, like a Kane Hodder or a Robert Englund. He has the build, and the look that can make him a true horror star. and A.J. Cook, or Criminal Minds and Final Destination fame is stunning.Not only is A.J. beautiful, but (and I didn't know this) she speaks fluent French, which totally adds to her hotness. Now add that to her acting talent, and she's a total package.Congrats to all involved on a fantastic piece of work, HIGHLY recommend.

So much of Hollywood within the past 10 years & counting have stopped caring about the film goers & just about the all mighty dollar which is why we have so many damn remakes in American cinema. Originality is dead, which is why I enjoy foreign films so much as they are always coming up with something new or revamping a story & making it their one by one upping the cool factor.Case in point, WER. This film takes the werewolf genre and completely flips it on its head, giving a realistic & believability take on the centuries old legend. Let's start with the synopsis: A defense attorney & her council (played brilliantly & flawlessly by A.J. Cook of "Tru Calling" fame, Vik Sahay who is known for the TV series "CHUCK", & Simon Quarterman who played Father Ben Rawlings in "The Devil Inside") begins to suspect that there might be more to her suspected client, who has charged with the murders of a vacationing family. This has a slight familiar feel to it, ala "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" but replacing the demonic horrors with lycanthropy storyline and creating much more tense environment. This film has scares & jumps galore and for those of you are are partial to the gore aspect of what goes along with the werewolf mythos you won't be disappointed either. The special visual effects are staggering realistic which one has come to expect from Gore Guru & make up genius Robert Hall (who created CHROMESKULL from the LAID TO REST films, as well as created the make up for the GRIMM & Firefly series). The death sequences are not over the top & are disturbing enough to make you wince. Also, the transformation of our "WER" in my opinion is one of the best I've seen since American werewolf in London and the howling. Keep in mind, it will NEVER be as iconic but the realism that Baker & Bottin brought to the screen can be seen in Hall's werewolf transformation. Another thing this film brings to the table that I've never seen before is the fact that the werewolf's curse is completely and 100% described through scientific evidence and it is completely plausible even in this day and age. The filmmakers make you as a audience feel that it could be possible that this "sickness" is a very real thing which bring the horror to a whole new level of fear, keep in mind that there are some very cool WOW factors that are also thrown into the film that will make you smirk & smile at the screen in horror goodness also. I'd also like to mention that throughout the intensity of this film, the storyline is never lacking. Starting out strong and never letting up, leading up to a very satisfying finale. The film itself is a mystery thriller until you hit halfway through at which point you are treated to fast paced non stop violent rage filled action horror film.As you can see, I love this film. So much in fact, I plan on watching it again in the new 2 weeks. If you are a fan of the werewolf genre and want a new take on myth, stop what you are doing now and check this film out.

I'm not sure why so many people and critics gave this film a mediocre review, at best. Movies have evolved, and directors and producers have learned quite a bit from REC, Blair Witch, Devil's rejects, House of the Devil, Dawn of the Dead remake and the like. This one is not as good as those mentioned, but it's way, way better than Sharknado or pretty much anything else on the Sci-Fi channel. The art direction is awesome, with carefully disciplined scenes in the hospital, the Fiend's home and elsewhere that builds tension. Special effects are great for a low budget film and I thought most awesomely of all, the Fiend was not overdone. By the way, if you have a phobia of shaving, you should skip this one.
