Leofwine_draca WER is another modern day werewolf story with some good stuff to recommend it. This is one of those cold and clinical horror films with lots of scenes either set in the dark or in steel laboratories, so that everything is black and grey. The tale is a grim one with no happy endings or the like; instead bloodshed and murder are the order of the day in this one.Despite being a US-made movie, this has a European feel to it, being filmed in Romania. Police are investigating a massacre and looking into a local weirdo who was found in the vicinity. Much of the running time takes the form of a police procedural investigation, but gradually things become more horrific as the truth is uncovered. There are some very gruesome scenes here, including a bit with broken glass that'll have anyone in their right mind wincing. The acting isn't the strongest, but the film works well in the end by being so relentlessly nihilistic, and with that nihilism comes real power.

Argemaluco Wer isn't a pseudo-documentary or a "found footage" film, but it holds its narrative on similar techniques, employing hand-held camera and "improvised" video sources, such a security systems and TV news. For the rest, I found it an excellent horror film, which offers us a werewolf perspective which is simultaneously classic on its mythology and innovative on its presentation. Director William Brent Bell achieved a tense atmosphere, where the contrast between modern civilization and archaic folklore obstructs rational thought and confuses "reality" with myth. A.J. Cook brings a solid performance in the leading role, and I also liked the work from the rest of the cast, highlighting Brian Scott O'Connor, who is appropriately threatening in his character, and Vik Shay, who makes something completely different to what he used to in the TV series Chuck. The special effects studio Almost Human complements the realistic tone of the film with a creature who is simultaneously credible and respectful of European tradition, besides of delicious gory moments and some disturbing corpses. In conclusion, Wer is one of the most innovative werewolf films I have seen a long time. Its combination of traditional and documentary techniques was a valid decision which intensifies the suspense and the energy of the film without confusing its narrative. Bell's previous films had been the execrable Stay Alive and the mediocre The Devil Inside, but he has fully redeemed himself with Wer, and I will definitely be looking forward to his next film, with the hope of finding out that this film wasn't an accident, but the start of a new tendency in his career.

kosmasp The movie is not something that has many surprising twists. It is nicely made though, the effects are good. The triangle relationship is nice, but also kind of overused. The actors still are sort of able to convincingly sell it to the viewer. Maybe you think it is overplayed though, especially because it might be distracting from the main story.Whatever the case, there could have been more social commentary, at least it looked like it would go that way, but it only stays on that in early stages. Maybe they planned more, I couldn't tell. After a slow start though, we do get a lot of action towards the end, which is either a relief or comes too late to save it for you
