I would also give it a 5/10. I like the (mostly) one night set-up and the setting, I liked the werewolf vision scenes, I think Christopher Abbott is quite good. The shots of the wolf man's breath in the opening was great! That's cool. But parts of it felt so shallow, like the full emotions weren't there. It rushed through some things, and then some parts were repetitive and dragged. It wasn't as horrifying as I would want a story like this to be (and as horrifying as I know Leigh Whannell can do). You're right that some of the dialogue is so unnatural, and one performance in the film is so bad, I thought the film really went got worse as it went along.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Yeah, a big disappointment for me and also a very frustrating experience, because all the key ingredients and ideas are there to make a very effective retelling of this classic horror icon/story. The performances suffered I feel due to its writing and that it was so on the nose with its themes, hence the lack of emotion.
I gave it a 1.5/10, and that’s only for the opening scene and the new spin on werewolf’s. But truthfully this movie is just godawful. Not good whatsoever. The whole movie and transformation takes place within a few hours in the middle of the night. It’s all just so slow and boring. Just not good
I may have been slightly generous with my own score, but I appreciated so much what was being attempted with its ideas/themes. The opening scene is without a doubt one of the strongest moments within the movie, I really liked how this scene played out. I liked the idea of it being set within one evening but is let down by its execution, from the writing, to how moments are constructed. Again potential is there, it just doesn't fully come to life. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
