    Cool genre short tarnished by a weak ending

    This short was so cool...until it got to the end. The CG is really nice, yet falls hard into the uncanny valley. That said, there are some great artistic moments, and the fight scenes are just plain cool. And I liked how they handled the idea of werewolves (and I'm usually not a fan of overly used tropes like vampires/werewolves/etc). And while the story uses a lot of cliches, I found them easy to get over...until the end. There's no real motivation for it, except to check the box of having the hero walk off into the sunset, empowered and in control. Still a cool short for genre fans.

    Worst about this episode:

    Is that it is so short. Great idea and amazing animation.

    Hopefully i am not the only who would Like to see more to this concept.

    Coolest werewolves done to date

    Hands down, coolest werewolves I've seen on screen. This FOR SURE needs to be made into a movie or tv show!

    This is the best up to now.

    I can definitely see this expanded into a full scale movie. I was picturing Sam Worthington as the protagonist.

    Very very cool

    This episode is awesome on on levels. Strong writing, great visuals (solid use of mo-cap), very immersive story telling. Loved it all the way around, very much agree with the other reviews... we need more! I'd 100% help crowdfund a feature length follow up or long form story in this universe. Well done on this episode guys, you nailed it!

      When the flag is raised to half-mast, it is first brought to the top, then lowered to half-mast, not just raised to half-mast as shown in the end.
