Likes : First thing is first this is not going to be an Oscar winning film so dont expect this film to be a Hollywood make over style film, but what i will say is the fact this even for a low budget film this is very good & well made but not with out its flaw's.
Good point of this film is the story is pretty well easy to follow, the fact they have gone with the C.G.I & gone old school which make this kind of like teen wolf but with a dark edge in the story which i through made the film more believable.
 The Fx department for this film has done a brilliant job in the old school way of filming with suits & make-up like the old 80s style of wolf films, the only slightly C.G.I is use for the changing & the eyes which isn't over the top or over used, the pace of the film is perfect as it moves along on a steady pace, so it dosent leave you thinking when is this going to end or is that it, this is a pretty well made film that is worth watching.
The acting is pretty solid, absolutely beautiful Merritt Patterson performance is spot on & very believable who plays Angelina Timmins a young girl that seem to be caught up in a blood Fud with two wolves packs, who owns her own bar, who meet the this drifter that came to her town Cayden Richards played by Lucas Till who past seem to have a shady past but the twist in the story reveals who he is which Lucas Till plays really well for a convincing performance.
This probable is the first time ive seen in ages ive seen Jason Momoa has been given a part that actual suit him as an actor playing this lead of the pack biker hard ass's no hole bard wolf by the name of Connor who everyone seem to fear but what is clever about this film is the fact the twist in it reveals more going on that what is shown at first which i liked gave the film this ending that close's the film inst of leaving it open.
 If your a wolf film fan this is one film i can recommend, it not Hollywood style film but still a worth while film with some great acting & old school special effects, which i though this film is very underrated for what it is, so this is a film you should check out.

Dislikes : Im down with the old school way of special of the wolf with the teen wolf style look but they kind of look like cats more than wolves which is funny, but maybe that just me, apart from that this film is not bad.

Overall : Great acting, old school Special effects, great twist in the film to kept the story interesting

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.8 out of 10 for concept
