elionwyrWe rented this on Saturday. It's a new werewolf movie; I think that the werewolf-heroine is the "good" witch from "The Craft," but I'm not really sure.
It's actually...it's pretty good. I think they blew it at the end, but most of it was pretty good. There's a lot of parallels between her changing into a woman and changing into a werewolf, and a lot of focus on feeling like an outcast and how one deals with that.
The opening segment is just eerily beautiful..IMHO. It's sorta "Harold and Maude" (maybe even a little "Heathers") in that the girls are obsessed with death, and pose for a series of just gorgeously done death poses.
I still don't know that Hollywood has ever really done a truly good werewolf flick. "The Howling" was pretty good - again, IMHO. But when I think of "good," I still think of Laurell K. Hamilton's werecritters...they're the most believable I've found so far.
At any rate..I'd still recommend it. Just expect a not-so-strong ending.
...Now I just need to resist the urge to go take one of our bird skulls and wear it as a necklace..
