No knowledgeable revolver owner, especially a veteran, would snap the cylinder closed like Ambrose did (multiple times). Doing so can bend the crane, resulting in a misalignment of the cylinder and the barrel. See more »
This film has the potential of classic written all over it. Finally after Dog Soldiers we have werewolf movie with characters and a pace we can appreciate. The use of non cgi creature effects is so refreshing and gives more realism. I will say this movie gained so much respect from me with it's shocks and creeps it was easy to over look the obvious budget issues with facial animatronics on the beast. The film is so well directed and edited the pace and fierceness save it from itself. This film would definitely be worth a cgi brush on the faces alone and that would make this film undeniably perfect. Either way, I had to give this film 10 stars for directorial vision and genius. I would definitely love to see this director try again with more support from the studio's budget. I think he would be dangerous with the right amount for the fx department. I literally clinched my fist with a yes during the last 10 minutes of this. I would watch it again without question.
