At a top secret military base, three young reporters are determined to uncover the nature of various tests being carried out there. Sinead (Kelly Wines) especially has reasons of her own to find out what is going on – her father, she suspects, was killed by officials who thought he 'knew too much.' Laura (Lucy Clarvis), who is in financial trouble, and her partner Marty (Jordan Murphy) have also agreed to be part of the investigations. Camped out amidst rolling Welsh countryside where sheep are being viciously killed, it is clear something nasty is out there in the gloom.And gloomy it is in this low-budget conspiracy horror. Whilst there is a good sense of remote unease and isolation, things are sometimes too murky to make out clearly. This unfortunate side-effect of the film's low budget is coupled with another blemish representative of such projects – some of the dialogue (especially that of the photographer Sinead meets, played by whispering Matt Brewer) is often impossible to make out.Against that, Sinead and the photographer, who also has his own reasons for wanting to find out what's happening, are caught in the impossible and tense situation where, if the 'Silverhide' creature doesn't get them, the military who are determined to preserve the top secret nature of the project, certainly will.As things roll on, revelations come thick and fast. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with events, but it becomes clear who the real enemies are. There's more to the creature than 'just' a wolf-man type. In fact, it is a shame we don't see much more than brief glimpses of eyes, snout, talons because the effect of the werewolf (notoriously difficult to realise convincingly) is good. However, due to the spectral talents it possesses, the audience probably sees more of the animal than the soldiers do
This is a flawed but interesting film with a good twist. It won't satisfy everyone and the plotting is sometimes hazy. But it emerges as a very interesting and enjoyable project.

How could it get a 10 as if it was a great representation of being a quality B-genre movie? I am a fan of drive-in theater movies and this is along that line, but too many scenes/shots are just too long and dark that I lose both visual and plot interest. The acting is right there with the best of the bad movies, and what is a cheap horror movie without screams and shouting galore! I don't know, I had to watch it in fast forward. But if you liked the 60's-70's Dr. Who monsters, those were fun, (funny) but of course low-to-no budget like this one! Go in with low level expectations, and use fast forward accordingly!

This movie is so very dull that I found myself reaching for my phone to check my Facebook status within the first 10 minutes. I'm a real fan of low budget horror but this was probably one of the worst scripts I've seen in a long time. It just labours along like an asthmatic jogger and if someone told me a guy down the pub just grabbed a few of his mates to act in it I wouldn't be too surprised. If any of the cast act for a living I'm worried that after this they might starve.Sorry to be so negative but if this movie had a face I'd punch it!Oh and the monster is rubbish.

OMG, that was boring. It can cure insomnia. The creature looked so silly, which is most likely the reason they only had the face in it for two frames at a time.For a low budget indie, the acting was about what I expected. The storyline was boring, boring, boring. Seriously, I think I'm going to sleep when I finish this review. There was nothing thrilling about this.And what is it with movie makers and the moon? Hello to all of you out there, the moon does NOT act like the sun. It doesn't have moon rays. If you walk outside during the night, the moon can be seen, but it does not illuminate the ground. However, in this movie, it did. It was so annoying.I don't know what they spent 100,000 on. Maybe it was the insane amount of moonlight :/I gave this a 3-star rating. Maybe that's too generous. It was boring and a waste of time. Skip it. I do not recommend.
