Wer 2013
Decently acted. Very good sfx. Very impressively done. The way the film was shot was great too. Sometimes a bit shaky, sometimes like a bad quality documentary, sometimes like a stationary wide angle lens, sometimes presented as video feed from observation cameras. Made the story feel more real, but also I think detracted from emotional investment. Which isn't a bad thing for me with this film. The enjoyment was in the story and how Talon was played. Brian Scott O'Connor did a fantastic job. Particularly with prosthetics/creature effects. The film was fairly predictable, except for SPOILER ALERT:Talon not being a cuddly wolf after all, but ripping jaws off and getting ready to rape Kate Moore, his defending attorney, which pleased me because the opposite often happens.
However something in this film didn't do it for me. I can't quite say what it is after just viewing. So not more to say about that than that.
With whatever it was that didn't work for me I'd give this film 6/10. If you take away this unknown aspect, then its 7.5/10 bordering on 8.
Maybe I didn't fully get into it because there was no relationship with the characters. Not that they lacked depth, but the way it was filmed did not allow me to be too sucked into the experience. But I liked how it was filmed. Blah. Anyway, its worth checking out if you haven't already. Definitely recommend.
