What was this movie even trying to be? The interviews had them talking like they wanted this to be iconic,
how it was inspired by AWIL, Yada yada. But ultimately they made the same missteps every other werewolf movie always does:
Scene is too dark.
Constantly cutting away.
Mostly off screen.
No details.
The rules of their version of lycathropy also weren't clear. She didn't change until she looked at the moon, but only changed a little the first night, and finished changing the second night, but never changed back. So it's a permanent wolf type but only if you stupidly look at the full moon after being infected? If that's how werewolves work in that world how would it not just be a plague of wolves or people staying indoors at night to never trigger their changes?
Lastly, how does someone cast a gorgeous girl like that in a role where she turns into an animal permanently? No undressing during the transformation, or before it, and no nude reverting scene? A huge part of why werewolves are cool is it's an excuse to get the character naked. So in every sense this movie was just wasted potential.

This. I would't change a comma here.
