A
good looking outcast named Syd Jarrett
(Marc Blucas) seems to get into all sorts
of trouble when he hangs out at a bar but
runs into a beautiful blonde named Nora
(Nicky Aycox) who asks him to bring her
to his place as they both get it on. She
suddenly bites his neck and the next day
he seems to lose concentration on stuff
as well as getting fired by his bullying
construction boss Vaughn (Bart Johnson)
in which he thinks that his life is
turned upside down.
While he's heavily involved with Nora he
realises that he is more powerful than
ever after the bite on his neck and feels
he is becoming monstrous as well as
meeting an enemy named Vic (Naveen
Andrews) whom demands to have Nora to
himself and acting very dominating too.
Syd feels that he must fight to get Nora
back but at the same time seems to be
linked to another woman named Jane (Eva
Amurri) who has also grown into an animal
herself as he falls in love with her
which upsets Nora and will try to kill
her in order to get Syd back in her life.A
group of teens go on a deserted mansion
set on an island for their spring break
vacation.
Alot of the performances and plotlines was fast action paced
with the fighting choreography and alot
of computerised effects too showing on
the screen.
There's a good moment with both characters Nora and Jarrett in his house with her getting
lustful towards him and good camera takes
on all of this as well as her biting the
side of his neck.
There's another good lustful moment with
the two of them having breakfast the next
day and then a good close up shot on him
unbuttoning her shirt as well as her
getting him to try and bite her too.
There's a good scene with a
construction employer getting aggressive
towards Jarrett on him losing
focus and acting in pain along with a
nice camera angle on this construction worker insulting
and yelling at him in a black and white
moment as well as telling him he's been
fired in which the scene taken on
this looks like a realistic look at a
bullying employer to their employee.
There's a good shot with Jarrett drinking at a bar and acting like a
basket case with Nora acting a
bit cocky towards him about losing his
job.
There's a nice argumentive dialogue
between the two of them near an alleyway
and him acting physical
towards her which looked quite tense and
then the two of them stripping some of
their clothes off and getting lustful
again with a good shot on her wrapping
her legs around him.
There's a good scene with Vic trying to get demanding
towards an employee at a store
while she's talking on the phone and her
getting stuck up and telling him off
which looked slightly cheesy but still
fun to watch. There's a nice shot on him
with his evil firey eyed looks on him
changing into a werewolf and her
screaming and trying to run away which
also looked cheesy as well as corny but
again quite enjoyable at the same time
too.
There's a good moment with Jarrett trying to throw a punch towards Vic and he grabs his hand and twists his
wrist while there's a good shot on
a Sheriff pointing a shotgun at his head.
There's many nice shots on Jarrett getting rough towards Nora on a
bed by spreading her legs or controlling
her in any way as well as dragging her
down in a cellar type door and locking
her which all looked good and menacing.
A good peaceful discussion towards
the two of them at a cabin caressing one
another with good shots on this.
A great powerful moment with Nora disguising herself and then making out
that she's seducing someone at a bar, then
suddenly opening her mouth and munching
on her. Then there's a great moment when
she plunges into Vic and
pushes him through a window.
There's a werewolf battling sequence involved here but most of
the fighting is computerised showing two
female werewolfs attacking one another.
There's a good moment with Jarrett carrying a wounded female werewolf to a hospital
and trying to get help as well as scene's
with Vic attacking bit part actors as
employees at the hospital.
There's also some good battling moments
between Jarrett and Vic even if most of it is computerised
effects of two werewolf's like mentioned before with another battling sequence. However
there's a great close up shot on Jarrett gritting his sharp teeth acting vicious.
Bottom line is that there's plenty of
cheesy computerised effects used in this
film but still it can be fun to watch.
However the story is a bit long and
tiresome in many spots and doesn't get to
the point when it should. There's plenty
of sex and topless moments which was one
of the film's main drawingcards but at
the same time it didn't look boring and
made the story seem somewhat very sexy.
At first you don't know what to expect in
the story wondering what kind of a film
it is until halfway throug when you
discover that it's a werewolf flick. The
plot is almost like cat and mouse in
which there's good and bad chasing after
one another. But lots of fast paced
fighting sequences with werewolf against
werewolf or bizarre moments at a bar.
The bottom line is the story almost looks
like it was a wee bit inspired by other
werewolf flicks like Ginger Snaps but yet alot of the storyline sometimes
stands on it's own too. It can sometimes
be fun to watch but you have to be in a
real good mood to watch it since it's
just an average horror film. It also has
some original moments on people turning
into animals and being territorial on who
their man or woman is not allowing anyone
else to be around them which is true
animal behavior.
The story is also a little confusing but
the pieces slowly do come together.You
need to pay close attention to it though
or you'll be missing some leaky
information.
Otherwise you may want to skip this one
and watch something like Ginger
Snaps or yet An American
Werewolf in London since these
one's showed a bit more class than this
one. Oh well, it was an independent film
and these filmmakers tried the best they
could.
The acting is not
too bad as Marc Blucas (Jarrett) has the
sharp looks for his role as an outcast in
the film and really knew how to act
lusftful and powerful with what he does
as well as acting aggressive when he is
about to do a battle or get physical in
some way throughout his scene's
alltogether. Plus he's good at acting like a basket case too. He sure picked up the pace
with his performance.
Naveen Andrews (Vic) played a great bad
ass dominating werewolf in the film and
really knew how to act cold and vicious.
He has the right mean guy looks too as
well as really knowing his stuff by
acting abusive when he needed to. He was
a right choice for the part in the film. He was good with her demanding attitude too.
Nicky Aycox (Nora) sure knew how to act
slutty and flirtatious in her part as
well as showing nice vicious werewolf
expressions when she is hungry for blood
in which she was totally energised in
what she had to do for the part in the
film. She made a great drawing card to
the story. In the beginning of her performance she does well strutting towards a guy in a bar and coming on strong
towards him by wrapping her arms around
him which looked quite impressive. She also does a nice job acting cocky in certain situations. Plus she does a nice job with her battling moments. She was very powerful when she warns someone before a battling scene.
Eva Amurri (Jane) really knew how to come
across as a calm and caring type in the
film and speaking her lines very nicely.
She was another great character to the
story of the film and knew her craft
showing some great inspiration on her
behalf. She also had the perfect girl
next door looks too.
Marc Blucas reveals
his butt and hips when he is fornicating
and getting it on.
Nicky Aycox has her top unbuttoned
with her breasts being revealed as well
as performing topless in many other
scene's during her lustful moments.
A slaughtered
animal is revealed
Lots of torn up neck bites
Mangled faces
Slashed faces
Bloody trail lines
We hear the odd violin
synthesizer type of music and some drum
beats along with some breathing sound
effects. Of course there's the odd
booming sound too all done by Alan
Brewer. There's nothing overly
spectacular other than what I mentioned.
