Kind of meh. Setup/beginning was pretty bad IMO. She wasn't good in this. I did like how they showed him changing and the point of view from the wolf. Having it end essentially where it begin was cheesy. His dad being it was way too obvious
 
PRAISE: Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tucks Werewolf story about a family man seeking to protect his wife and daughter from a werewolf is definitely effective at certain points in the movie. It's well acted by the cast including Julia Garner as Charlotte ,Christopher Abbott as Blake ,Leigh Whannell as Dan and Matilda Firth as Ginger,as it is well established there is a level of estrangement and disconnect in their family and the actors definitely brought that out.Director Whannell use of light,sound and point of few moments are the most effective in the film. Though not a gorefest the moments of gore are involving and got several gasps out of the audience. At times the movie reminded me of the 1986 version of The Fly and 1973's The Boy Who Cried Werewolf. Whannell definitely infuses a few new things into the Werewolf legend that were very likeable.

PROBLEMS: The pacing definitely couldn't have been better as I found myself not to involved in what was happening to the characters and the predicaments they found themselves in. I didn't like the Werewolf design to much. It looked like one of the Orcs from the Lord of the Rings films. There is an ultra predictable turn in the movie.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 6½
