In the 1980s we had Teen Wolf, for the 2010s crowd it's Wolves (although not a comedy)! I think some of the Twilight crowd would like this film, and some of us that like B horror might like this movie too. It's not a top notch movie but it does entertain - fun as heck to watch.I love the "Wolf Man" look to these werewolves - well done and a nice nod toward the "Wolf Man" films (and werewolf films along a similar vein).I've been wondering if this film was any good - I got it in a film pack and I'm glad I did... I've really enjoyed this movie! A very entertaining modern werewolf film. I am pleasantly surprised I like this one so much - I do love werewolf films but not all of them are good but this one is worth a watch IF you don't mind some teenage lead roles.7/10

The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: Cayden starts out as a high school quarterback with a fine girlfriend. Things devolve quickly for him. His behaviour on the field brings up questions. When the girlfriend suggests having sex in her car, his arousal triggers something else, and she runs screaming. He returns to his home only to awake with his parents dead and blood on his hands.While the cops attempt to get enough evidence on him to put him away, Cayden hits the road. He eventually meets Wild Joe at a bar, and Wild Joe points him to Lupine Ridge.Delineation of conflicts: Cayden wants to know more about who he is, and why he goes through these changes. The people in Lupine Ridge know some of the answers, but do not give them up all that easily. A gang in town is rather monopolistic about who holds what power in and around the town, and Cayden does not fit in that scheme. The people in the town and the gang outside of town have only an uneasy peace, and law enforcement seldom spends any time in the area.Resolution: Cayden needs to uncover and resolve the tension between the town folk and the gang.

Wolves was good for a watch at least once but not something I'd watch more than once.I'm not into werewolf movies at all but the story was good enough to keep me entertained.For some reason I think Wolves would've been better as a TV show then a movie.I think I could just see it going a lot further as a TV show & who knows? Maybe if they did turn it into a TV show, I might give it a watch.The best thing about the movie were the special effects.Whoever did them, did a VERY nice job.The werewolves looked realistic (I guess you could say) & AWESOME.I think if you're a fan of werewolf movies then you'll (Maybe) like this movie or want to take a look at it.From other reviews I read, fans of Twilight & all those other books & movies probably will like Wolves as well

It's a pretty decent effort with maybe a bit of a surprising turn at some point during the story. Only if you watch it, without thinking too much and are open to the B-movie vibe this has. The acting is OK, if you consider what this is (comparisons with Twilight are not far off, of course, though I have no idea if the original idea was there before or if they just came up with it because of the YA thing that is exploding right now).Not literally exploding of course, but people wanting to watch fantasy stuff like that. And trying to include both genders interest can be tricky at times, but it walks that line nicely too. Don't expect too much (though it does contain a bit of violence that is above Twilight level and also McHattie, an actor who adds a lot of gravitas) and you'll be entertained enough, if you're into Lycans
