Wer

Since Twilight Werewolves, along with Vampires, were made a joke of. Timid and caring instead of the old fashioned rip-them-to-pieces killing machines. Fortunately "Wer" understands the true value of a Werewolf and will have fans of the sub genre rejoicing! The biggest plus is the vicious nature the film has and a solid build up with a mythology behind the main villain. I liked the way the mysterious Werewolf unfolded and it promised to a thrilling climax. Unfortunately, even though the pay off is incredibly violent, the movie starts getting a bit silly and loses all the control that the first half had. Mixing it with some pretty ordinary CGI effects, the second half is nowhere near as polished as the first, which ultimately hurts it, but thankfully there is enough to like about "Wer" to make it a recommended film!

So this French hairy guy gets arrested for multiple murders. An American lawyer living in France (A.J. Cook) is assigned to defend him. Together with her unlikely ex-boyfriend and her assistant (Lester from "Chuck") she sets out to prove he's innocent. Slow-going to the point of boredom. Things don't really pick up until about fifty minutes in. Everybody is acting in that "oh look this is real, we don't have a script" way like it's all improvised on the spot. It's a poor choice because that requires far better actors than this has. The characters being very unlikable doesn't help. Does anybody really buy fugly Simon Quarterman as A.J. Cook's ex? I can't see that ever. For Cook's part, her acting is very "TV." Vik Sahay is awful. He's one of those guys that can only do comedy. Any attempt at doing serious material fails. His facial expressions, manner, line delivery all scream "don't take me seriously." The werewolf parts are underwhelming. At least he's a 'sort of' wolfman type of werewolf, which is better than the dog cop-out movies often use these days. But still not a very creative design. The last twenty minutes, in particular the werewolf fight, save the movie from total mediocrity. Still not worth recommending, though.

Wer (2014) I really don't know what to make of this movie, I thought it was found footage movie, but it wasn't at all, there was some found footages parts in the movie. There were some tense moment at first but as the movie went on, it felt... Well it wasn't really that tense at all. They didn't really explain what this person was, Was he Human, or some of were wolf that some super power strength. This movie was very nasty at times, Head smashed, limbs flying off here and there, the good an nasty kind of gross. (Those parts I enjoyed) I didn't not like how the story moved forward at all, I hated last few scenes from the movie, Why can't we not have normal were wolf, were there no bloody battle between, super human hairy guy, and guy who saved he head to fight the beast after he turned too. The acting was really good from the whole cast Well I gave this movie 5 out of 10

This film started out as a very satisfying murder mystery film with a few jump scares to keep the viewers attention, which isn't really even needed because its very interesting. The performances of the actors were great in the first half but didn't last with the exception of Simon Quarterman who plays Gavin in the film, he's a great throughout. But as I stated the last 40 minutes of the film were a let down to me. The film becomes a pretty generic found footage-esque slasher flick that isn't as interesting or unique as the team trying to figure out who or what did what was done like the premise in the first half. Overall Id give the first half a 8/10 And the second half 5/10 First review I tried to be as vague as possible about the plot of the movie.

As a huge horror fan I did not expect very much from this movie but I was very surprised. Firstly not a massive budget yet it delivers in everything from atmosphere, reasonably decent acting, good sets, good story line. It reminded me of a movie that came right out the 80's UK Video Nasty List (In a Good Way!) The negatives - The Music/sound is over powering very much like the Cannibal movies from this time, some may like that. The lead Female was a complete miss casting, I think she may have earned the role from who she knew!!! (very pretty though) This is very worth any horror fan's viewing and deserves a huge round of applause for having a damn decent go at something a little different. It is not An American werewolf in London. It is more a dirty and gory affair than the previously mentioned with no laughs. Excellent Effort a solid 7-10

found this film by accident, watched it knowing nothing about it and I was totally hooked. a brutal murder of some tourists in the French countryside sets the story up, with a local man being arrested for it. the film follows the accused defence team as they unearth what really went on during the murders and things get horribly out of control in a very gory and brutal manner. there's not much originality in this film, its like a cross between 'rec', 'underworld' and 'American werewolf in London' but it doesn't have to be original to kick ass. hunt it down and check it out.

If only the film was devoid of the shaky cam/found footage stuff. I saw this on a dvd which I own in 2014. Felt like reviewing it now since i am more active on imdb currently. Was reluctant to buy the dvd as i cannot stand found footage and hand held shaky cam stuff but the good reviews on IMDb prompted me to go ahead. The film begins showing a family being brutally attacked by something unknown. The surviving member recounts a story of something resembling a tall, hairy man with huge hands that attacked the family...... The movie first starts as an investigative thriller with suspense n mystery. Later the movie turns into an excellent creature on the loose n full blown action flick. The special effects and makeup are first-rate. The werewolf attack scenes are frightening n gruesome. The movie is loaded with gruesome killings, the mutilated bodies' of the victims and the threatening figure of a gigantic beast on the loose is full of tension n mayhem. The beast in this movie is fast, vicious and has a nasty tendency of tearing off its victims' bottom jaw. The explanation given in the movie for the creature/transformation is something new.

First of all, I'm very critic about horror movies, and up until I got my hands on this, most of those I've watched were pure trash. But this one is out of this world (yes, that good, great, amazing, name it). I don't understand how the studios have such a jewel in their hands and... they do nothing! I never heard of this movie before up until now! It's simply brilliant! One of the best, if not the best, horror movie I've seen in a long, long, long time. Amazing story, amazing cast, amazing cinematography. Filled with dark twists and a new retelling of the werewolf story. Loved every minute. I give this a 10. Congratulations to the cast, director, writer and of course, all the crew involved. Brilliant!
