That aside I did like it myself. I was actually starting to wonder if this condition could be real, they made lycanthropy not a curse or a weird myth by some magical unexplained means come to life. It was a disease, and it almost made complete sense. And then he did weird shit like not die from multiple gun shot wounds and land on hi feet after falling from a very tall building. That was my beef with it, maybe it bothered you, Boss?
Gavin bothered me a little. This weird little nobody pining more after a lost love than focusing on his damn job. Then when he gets infected he shaves every hair off his body what....? Okay then. Curious what happened to him after words... his hair at least seemed to have oddly grown back.
Props to this movie for its death scenes. Not only was it bloody fantastic with its makeup and effects, but they even killed off a ten year old kid. That's pushing many boundaries that most movies won't go near, and it easily set the pace for the film. With a child killer on the loose it was no wonder they rushed to capture and condemn a suspect.

SPOILERS TO WER IN FOLLOWING COMMENT
The reason I liked the way it was filmed is that it ended up making the film feel more real. A lot of it wasn't shot like a home movie? I thought there was a lot of variety in the kinds of shooting used. I'm undecided about the lycanthropy being a disease. I did like the effects of the jumping from high stories, but the bullets not doing anything at all was annoying. As if he's so strong he's not affected by ballistics. I can only suspend my disbelief so much. I can see how the film turning it into a werewolf instead of just a poor man with a disease could be annoying. Undecided about it. I enjoyed the effects and how the ferociousness of the werewolf form was used. A monster who is vicious without much logical thought. Something to be hunted and killed. The porphyria and moon's gravitation pool bit was silly and this wasn't a silly film. Porphyria is over used in horror too.
Yeah the torso of the dead kid was intense.
