I read all these reviews waxing poetic about how this movie is better than or has elements of Silver Bullet and The Dog Soldiers. It has some of the feel of The Dog Soldiers and is about half as good. It could even be described as a lame almost copycat of Silver Bullet, without an engaging lead, with mostly boring supporting actors and an underdeveloped plot with holes. The first huge plot hole just stopped me in my tracks. Then there's the lead character. He and the audience know that there's a werewolf. We had the storyline going in, the lead had really, childishly obvious signs that even a blind man could see and he believes them without a seconds hesitation. It's like Silver Bullet, if you pulled out the steps of developing the story. There is not one second of suspension of disbelief for me. The lead character is played as an unlikable jerk and there is nothing beyond a passing attempt to build empathy for him or most of the cast. So when things happen to any of the characters, there's no impact or interest in them.

On the upside, it had a couple of interesting scenes. The werewolves were cute, which was kind of weird. The dog was brave. Finally, it had at least one interesting plot twist.

A good movie to sit with friends, drink and make nasty comments about the makers of the film. Or more probably, find other topics and talk over the film because it's mostly not worth spending time on.

I've watched this video twice now and it is almost as good as Night of the Living Dead. I might even rate it the same, but I've watched a lot of zombie movies and I'm jaded and critical.

The actors were good. There was tension and a few jump in your seat moments. The requisite gore was there. It built empathy for the characters. The dialog was realistic and didn't have me sitting there saying what's wrong with these people like a lot of zombie movies do. It's better than the remake of Dawn of the Dead, so if you like that, you'd like this.

I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a good zombie flick.

I'm going to start by pointing out I'm an American. I do that because my first comment has to do with the Americans making denigrating or nasty comments about the lead actresses character and the skills they find so unbelievable.

I speak to people around the world on a regular basis and generally end up feeling like Americans are illiterate, unmotivated morons with an inferiority complex. That pretty much sums up my view of our international politics and the generic mindset of my fellow citizens.

Why do I say that, I talk to these foreigners and routinely, they speak 3-5 languages and can struggle their way through a few more. Anyone that takes foreign language courses is told that in Europe it is common for people to speak at minimum 2 languages and OFTEN more. But a well educated British character was trashed by the reviewers that I read on this site for pretty much being well educated. To my fellow Americans, get over it. We suck at accepting others, we suck at education and generally we urinate (they wouldn't let me use the better word for this) on the rest of the world. Americans and our government treat the rest of the world like we are making up for having a 2 inch penis. I personally resent that because I don't even have a penis.

Now, my review. It was an okay movie, I laughed when they got to the part of the plot that talked about the clues. If you watch, you'll get what I mean, or maybe not. It didn't scare me and I'm a pushover for freaking out at scary movies. It did engage my attention to some extent but it needed more tension than I felt they brought to it with that script. It was a decent one time viewing type movie.
