It's bad, what a shame. It wasn't a bad idea and the lead actor did well. The lead actress though was terrible, and as a character she was annoying and stupid. In addition the monster costume was clearly a suit.
Explicit sex scenes with nice music. Werewolf was roaming around the house. No phone signal. Just horrible acting. No story here. Move along.
I'm surprised that this isn't X-rated. This only gets 3 stars because of the music playing during... THAT scene. It made me laugh way too hard at that part.
Unfortunately, the renderings took away from my enjoyment of the rest of the movie. This feels more like an experiment in film making than a horror movie. This movie needed more practical effects and more monster, and less time spent with the unrelatable characters.
The scene transitions (both timing and method) also felt as if they contributed toward a narrative that works better on paper than on the screen. This might even work a bit better on a stage (ignore the sexual parts...) than on the screen. The screenwriter should be sure to properly adapt to the medium being used to portray the story. This is probably the producers' fault as well when they were assembling the final narrative after shooting.
In short: relate the soundtrack to the action, make the characters relatable, use proper practical effects (see listings in the trivia/goofs/continuity/anachronisms), and write for the screen.

I'm getting really tired of being let down by werewolf movies... but I'll keep watching them and hoping for a good one. This certainly is not that. Fans of the genre, please don't waste your time...the werewolf is literally an unaltered Party City costume. The mask is like $30 I think. I didn't even buy the mask for my own costume because it was so bad. It truly baffles me that someone thought it would be good enough for a movie. It's an insult to the audience and to some of the people who worked on that film. I work in the industry, so I can see there was actual effort put into some areas of the production. People who make movies in the genre please take note: You CANNOT make a good werewolf movie IF you DON'T HAVE a GOOD WEREWOLF. If you don't, then please don't even continue.
A sex hungry couple leave London for a break in the country, renting out a cottage in the middle of nowhere. Problem is, in addition to the unfriendly owner, there is a guy lurking outside wearing a laughable hairy costume. Well, it's meant to be a werewolf but looks more like something off an amateur pantomime set.
The DVD cover is incredibly misleading. For a start the vast majority of the film takes place in the countryside, not London. Secondly it says "very similar to Dog Soldiers". I think not. It's completely the other end of the spectrum. " Brutal gore shots ". More like very cheap looking effects, blink and you'll miss them. The script is terrible. As is the acting.
Why do British film makers think it necessary to have American characters? Sadly the actress who plays Abi couldn't do a convincing American accent if her life depended on it. Partly why I scored this so low, it really irritates me.
I picked this up cheap from the supermarket and didn't expect much from it. But my advice is save your time and money, this rubbish is possibly the worst werewolf movie that I have seen.
Did you know
- TriviaThe cottage used for the majority of the scenes is an actual holiday cottage named Lovejoys Mill in Belchamp Water so you can actually go and stay on the 'set' if you choose.
- GoofsAt 1:10, the 'blood' and injuries to her face look like smeared caramel.
- Crazy creditsEvery care was taken so that nothing living (or fictitious) was harmed during the filming. "No animals or werewolves were harmed in the making of this film"
