Wow! Usually I'm pretty hesitant about vampire and werewolf horror movies because I've just never found those kinds of creatures scary.
This film has definitely gone beyond my expectations. I love it. The acting is phenomenal and the storyline intriguing. While predictable in some parts (especially with its use of jumpscares), I found myself thoroughly enjoying seeing how every moment, expected or not, played out anyway.
I also really liked the aspect of A.J. Cook's character being a lawyer and how that leads her into getting involved. I'm pretty new to the horror movie genre, but I thought that was a pretty interesting take. In general, I appreciated her character a lot. She is set up as intelligent and compassionate, so I thought her actions were very believable and realistic, even if some viewers might think she acted silly and irresponsible.
The other characters are relatively nuanced too, in my opinion. They had flaws, they made mistakes, and they also showed redeeming aspects. I won't go into more detail because I'm really trying to avoid spoilers, but I just really liked how they were all written.
Speaking of the writing, I thought it was fine: realistic and natural. Yes, some of the dialogue seemed a little funny, but it didn't actually take me out of the viewing experience.
I don't have much to say about the setting and filmography, to be honest, because I don't know much about that.
All in all, Wer is a great modern horror movie! I still don't find werewolves scary, but I *was* scared for the characters in the movie. Creative and entertaining from start to finish, it certainly blows most of the rest of the films clogging the horror movie genre out of the water.
