Review of Wer (2013) by Emod L — 09 Apr 2015
Taking the werewolf genre to places it has rarely been, "Wer" offers viewers a drastically different take on the staple of the monster horror genre.
Using a gritty, realistic approach, the film focuses on a defense attorney who is assigned to represent a man charged with the grisly murder of a family who were on a camping trip.
However, looking into the case, and the man at the centre of it, the defense attorney (played compellingly by AJ Cook) begin to see there's more than meets the eye. The loner of a man, who maintains his innocence, is subjected to a series of excruciating tests to find out the truth about the case, and about him as a human being.
The only real downfall of the movie is that the budget has let the vision of the film down slightly. Whereas the fight scenes are good, more realistic blood and effects would have went a long way to lend credibility to the film as a whole.
Still, despite being a bit uneven as a whole, those who like "Wer" will like it a lot.
