It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I'm an avid fan of good horror films. Unfortunately, there are only a few decent horror movies coming out each year. The rest are just demented jumpscare and gore festivals, or pointless teeny romancey bits.Wer puts the werewolf back to where it should be - a dark, fearsome and primal entity. The story plays very low-key for a long time, and that is a commendable choice by the writers/directors. I really love the way the suspense builds, and that we are not shown some cheesy puppy transformation scene in the beginning of the film.What can I say? It's definitely not perfect, not the best horror movie ever. But it's definitely among such classics as Dog Soldiers, Ginger Snaps, American Werewolf in London, and The Company of Wolves. I've watched the movie twice now, which is extremely rare in my case, and probably will watch it again sometime in the future.

I am a big fan of the werewolf lore, and when I discover a film about those cute pets, I always hope it won't end up as a complete mess, which is unfortunately more than often the case.But not here! Dang, it's the best Werewolf film in years, imho. I still remember the details after days and plan on watching it again in the next time.The film takes quite a different approach, which is highly appreciated by me: For a change you don't see any transformations into with fangs and claws armed beasts (just at one point some wobbling at the 'mans' back), instead you see some brutally raw animal like violence, similar to berserks with super powers. There could have been a tad more of it, but that action shown is well done and more 'realistic' like this.Plus it's also kind of a thriller/drama with the story also taking a bit of a scientific way to 'explain' the situation, which totally fits in.I found the characters likable developed and the acting well done, especially by the of the murders accused giant and her defender. I also liked the good directing and camera work.If you like quality werewolf films with some great gore and violence that differ from the majority there is, then you might want to check this one out. Definitely recommenced.

To start of with: this is NOT a found footage film. Some footage is found of the brutal slaying of a family on vacation in France, and it's analyzed and sets of the rest of the proceedings. The film is presented in a documentary style, nothing to do with found footage..And this doesn't make any difference since it's quite a brilliant film. Or maybe it does since some of those found footage films tend to take pretty illogical steps just to keep the FF gimmick alive. This is just a great, extremely original and thankfully very realistic take on the werewolf saga, slowly built up as a mystery murder thriller."Experienced" experts are brought in to examine this apparent brutal animal attack, however who could be prepared for what's to follow. Okay, the ending might have been slightly predictable but it is done with such vigor and ferociousness it's still highly enjoyable and very exciting to watch.Very well done, very well played by all, absolutely stunning make up- and gore effects, an excellent choice to let it play out in a different country and oh so original. It reminded me of that other very original genre film of late: "Afflicted". Iff you enjoyed that, you will absolutely love this! 8/10

I'm not sure why so many people and critics gave this film a mediocre review, at best. Movies have evolved, and directors and producers have learned quite a bit from REC, Blair Witch, Devil's rejects, House of the Devil, Dawn of the Dead remake and the like. This one is not as good as those mentioned, but it's way, way better than Sharknado or pretty much anything else on the Sci-Fi channel. The art direction is awesome, with carefully disciplined scenes in the hospital, the Fiend's home and elsewhere that builds tension. Special effects are great for a low budget film and I thought most awesomely of all, the Fiend was not overdone. By the way, if you have a phobia of shaving, you should skip this one.
