American Werewolves

I just finished watching this documentary and I will say two things-it was really well done and the witnesses seemed legit. Something is definitely going on we just don't know or understand it. If you are a fan of STM or just Werewolves in general this is something you want to see.

I don't really believe in most paranormal/cryptid/alien stuff, but I've always been fascinated with that feeling of dread or that chill running down your back when something triggers the internal primal fear. A few of the witnesses in this documentary have such detailed stories told in such a vivid and convincing way, that you can't help wondering. I think that's why this brand of documentary has so much potential, it's like a horror movie but you don't have that safety net of knowing it's fiction. The doc is cut together in an 80s themes with oldschool SciFi fonts and synth music, very "now" in the vein of Stranger Things. But it works. It's even made in 4:3 (or maybe 5:4) ratio rather than 16:9 to give that 80s TV feel. Maybe that's a stylistic choice I think it could have avoided as almost half my TV real estate is not being used when I watch. Short version: very effective documentary, well edited, good choices in witness testimonies, maybe a bit long. Definitely worth a watch if you're the kind of skeptic who leans towards "maybe".

Lots of stories, most of them very convincing but where's the video evidence?

Nowadays when everyone has a camera in their pocket and ghost and cryptid videos are a dime a dozen this documentary presents exactly NO video evidence! I paid for this on streaming and fully expected some sort of photographic evidence. It was a no-brainer to me - a full length doc on dogmen or "American Werewolves" has GOT to have some new, heretofore never seen video evidence! Wrong! Color me disappointed.

To many sightings from reasonable people to not believe these things exist..amazing how easy it is to program society not to believe things are real when they are.

This is probably the weakest doc Seth and his team has put out. Nothing but campfire stories that shows no kinda proof. I remember someone asking Seth about is there had any proof or evidence shown in the doc and he said yes. Been a huge fan since his Mothman doc but lately the production value is gone down.
