SYNOPSIS:
A defense attorney begins to suspect that her client, who is charged with the murders of a vacationing family, might be more than meets the eye.

REVIEW:
Although this is subject to debate, there hasn’t been a good werewolf movie in decades in my slightly skewered opinion. There are those of you reading this who’ll immediately bring up the usual suspects, films like An American Werewolf In London & The Howling (Both 1981), some of you will bring up Wolfen (1981 again. A really good year for werewolves I guess…). But I said “In decades” a sentence or two back so those are covered. I’m willing to bet that there’s a couple of you knuckleheads that’ll say The Wolfman (2010) was a shining example of a film featuring a hairy dude who kills people. Needless to say, most if not all of the free world wholeheartedly disagrees with you. My personal favorite werewolf flick is called Bad Moon (1996) and while it’s really nothing to write home about and its transformation scene is pretty crappy, its got a really good script/performances to make up for the rest of its deficiencies (of which there are many). Call me wacky, call me crazy, call me Ishmael – I don’t care, I just really dig Bad Moon.

Well, I just finished watching a new movie featuring werewolves called Wer (crappy title) that I might think is better than all of the aforementioned flicks. Hell, I might just be thinking that it’s the best damn werewolf flick I’ve ever seen, but since this is coming from someone whose favorite movie of all time is The Manitou (1978), you might wanna keep reading a bit further before you go running to your local Redbox to rent it.
Wer takes place in France and the film opens with an American family camping out in the woods. Of course, they just happen to be filming themselves as they go through their late night shenanigans before hitting their sleeping bags and their camera catches the moment when something suddenly emerges from the woods and savagely tears both the father and his young son to ribbons. The mom is badly disfigured in the attack as well, but she survives and tells the police that they were attacked by a hairy man with big hands. Shortly afterwards, a man named Talan Gwynek (Brian Scott O’Connor) who fits the given description perfectly is found and summarily arrested. Talan is assigned a public defender, Kate Moore (A.J. Cook) to handle his case & she brings along two assistants with her, Eric Sarin (Vic Sahay) & Gavin Flemyng (Simon Quaterman). The three of them have to put up with a lot of resistance from detective Klaus Pistor (Sebastian Roche), who seems to know a lot more about Talan than he’s letting on.
