Re: Potentially (but not necessarily) process-y Upcoming Movie Thread (with clips)

Just caught the trailer for "Late Phases" aka "Night of the Lone Wolf" on my netflix rental in front of "Starry Eyes":

[spoilers]

So I netflix'd this one too - particularly since the trailer hinted a female werewolf. Well...there are definitely female werewolves, since the villain intentionally "infects" several characters towards the end to draw suspicion away from himself - but we never actually see the women transforming (disappointing). That said, the actual transformation is a pretty good highlight overall. Not quite AWiL as far as practical effects, and more along the skin rippage format, but extremely well done for a low budget horror movie - the trailer shows a few quick shots, but most body parts are shown in good, bloody detail.

The werewolves themselves, seen in more detail after transformation, aren't necessarily as good or well handled, (folks in suits), but it still works pretty well.

While the concept is somewhat unique - blind vet fighting werewolves (after his guide dog is killed the first night) in a retirement community - he's got a month to prep for the next full moon. The plot (particularly towards the end) is a little spotty and uneven - although Nick Damici does an awesome job as a blind vietnam veteran for the entire pic!

Recommended rental!
