Wer

Nothing haunted, no ghosts, no experiment gone wrong, so, a new approach on this type of movies. Did I enjoy it? I sure did! And lets see why:

1. good execution. everything went lovely, the suspense grew more and more and I was definitely drawn into it. 2. characters, all worked out nicely, believable. 3. killshots, plenty and good. 4. effects, few at number, but they made them count. 5. scares, one or two, but the usual.

This is somewhat more of a "Trollhunter" style, but in the horror section, and they did make it just right, so, I will recommend it gladly to any found footage fan, horror fan or someone who wants to get his girlfriend scared, so she can cuddle up real nicely.

"Wer", a movie that won't find itself on everyone's lips, but the ones that will talk about it, are the lucky ones!

Movie remains somewhat around the average mark despite being pretty dumb however then at the end it blows up. It feels like the director decides NOW IM GONNA TANK IT. Honestly, it seem deliberate. The bad guy,whos strength is physical combat is standing surrounded by special forces police at a distance of 10 meters or so. They get the go ahead take him out. What happens next? They start RUNNING at the bad guy WITH RIFLES in their hands. One by one. Not shooting him. RUNNING at him, to do what nobody knows, until contact and then when they reach him he kills them or throws them away. I dont know what else to say.

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!

considering i am a horror fan i tend to be very critical of horror mostly because it's fun to find that gem amongst the rubble. but this movie was just shear brilliance. an awesome retelling of the werewolf story...if this had been seen by more people, it would have redefined and revived the werewolf genre. this movie would have done what the walking dead series did to zombies but on a movie scale. the violence and rage portrayed reminded me of the infected in 28 days later... but with hair all over. the story itself starts out with a thriller feel with a found footage style look. half the story is basically a mystery thriller until you hit the halfway point of the movie and thats when the fit hits the shan, and you are treated to fast paced non stop violent rage filled action for nearly the rest of the movie. i can say nothing bad about this movie, if your into horror ...treat yourself with this movie.

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.
