I'm sure this has been discussed a thousand times on this board, but I just can't get over how lame the Werewolves looked. They resembled some sort of hairy alien creature more than a werewolf. So I ask this question, are they the worst looking werewolves in modern cinema..besides Skinwalkers?
shareAgreed. This was the worst part of the movie. Showing the bad special effects so early in the movie was a big mistake, too, IMO, considering I almost turned it off but decided to give it a chance.

I liked the film but was disappointed as well by the Werewolves. They just don't look scary and have a too obvious man-in-suit look. They look more like demented bunnies.
The makers would have saved time and a lot of money by just casting Tina Louis without makeup as the monster. She was the scariest looking thing in the film.
They were not great looking. However, I still like what they were going for more than the wolfman type of look that's come back into vogue, like in "Wolves (2014)" (see here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403241/board/nest/247348064?d=247348064#247348064 or http://i2.wp.com/werewolf-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/wolves-screen.jpg).
shareFirst scene I thought it was the grinch
shareI actually disagree, I love that they used practical effects but the designs were below average. While not on the caliber of the effects of An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, and Dog Soldiers, they are certainly better than any crapfest werewolf SyFy movie or say American Werewolf in Paris. Damn good film.
shareThe movie is decent, but the werewolves look like something from Goosebumps tv show haha, gosh they are horrible.
shareYes, I agree about the werewolves, haha, you're right on the spot with Goosebumps. Other than that, I really liked the film, I actually thought it was one of the best horror films in recent memory (Granted, that's not saying much), I really dug the story and the lead character/actor and also the great Tom Noonan was in a supporting role.

Well, I guess I do a bit of both. Mostly, I judge a film on its own, of course if it's a Hollywood film and a B film, they are rated differently. Especially for recent horror films, I can't help but factor in the terrible possibly dead state of horror films. I try not to do this but it is difficult to not count this in. I did honestly think Late Phases was a solid film though, yeah, it was low budget but it succeeded where most recent horror films fail at now, it had a great lead character that I got behind and the ending was surprisingly powerful.
shareOne thing that let me down is it was too derivative (rip-off?) of other movies.
shareYeah, I guess I can kind of see a Silver Bullet/The Howling similarity because of Late Phases' setting which is certainly reminiscent of those films. What really sold me on Late Phases was it's protagonist, I never have seen a blind, war veteran protagonist before. Certainly an unusual protagonist for a horror film and I liked that.
shareYeah. They look like were-chihuauas
What a lovely way to burn...
