Something was off. The pacing, or the supporting characters or the setting? I don't know. It didn't feel right. But the three lead performances are all great. It's just too bad they weren't in another movie.
Kind of slow, with a very strange ending, but great performances from Csokas and Richardson. The look and tone reminded me very much of another forbidden love British drama: Close My Eyes with Clive Owen.
Forgive the pun, but this movie was so awesomely bad, I was howling with laughter at certain parts. Cory Monteith channels all the best/worst cliches of werewolf characters, including the shirtlessness of Jacob from Twilight and the menacing stares of Wolverine from the X-Men series. The plot is beyond ridiculous: a security guard loses his sight in a workplace accident, and in emergency experimental surgery, he is given the eyes of a wolf. Once healed, not only does his body accept the foreign species' eyes, he fully adapts and begins to adopt other wolf-like characteristics, like wanting to hang out with stray dogs at the local zoo, and eat the doctors who treated him. Some of the stunts are so fantastically bad, I couldn't do anything but stare at my screen with a wide smile on my face.
Lame, but to be honest not as lame as I was expecting. It made little sense and looked cheap, but some of the acting was half decent in an entertainingly horrible sort of way. What was with the gay subtext? Not that I'm complaining, Cory Monteith looks fantastic in nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. The special effects, particularly Becky's red demon eyes and the insinerator, were hilarious.
