Comments on: 13 Hrs – New Werewolf Movie Starring Tom Felton http://werewolf-news.com/2009/05/13hrs-new-werewolf-movie-starring-tom-felton/ If it's about werewolves, we have an opinion on it. Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Duane http://werewolf-news.com/2009/05/13hrs-new-werewolf-movie-starring-tom-felton/comment-page-1/#comment-4432 Duane Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:19:17 +0000 http://werewolf-news.com/?p=912#comment-4432 Okay... I just watched this movie. First off, I have to say that this is a decent effort for the genre (at least in the low-budget catergory). The performances are adequate and the story, although not as exciting and eerie as it could have been, is fairly well executed. *SPOILERS* Unfortunately the final act of this film lets it down pretty severely in my view. For a start the manner in which the director chooses to limit the action to indoor locations when the characters are surrounded by creepy looking forests and moors is a missed opportunity. Also, the promise of a cat and mouse hunt is brought to an abrupt halt with the rather summary and brief mauling of two authority figures whom make their way to the house following a distress call. Most damaging of all though are the creature effects. In this movie not only do werewolves have no hair (not even under their armpits as far as I could tell)... but those infected with the curse find themselves completely bald as a result too!!! Why on Earth this struck anybody as a good idea is totally lost on me. Perhaps they simply couldn't afford to finish the creature costume so ran with the idea of ... um... 'baldness' as a new hip form of lycanthopy. At least the director is consistent in that particular department of weirdness. Overall a missed opportunity. A fairly strong first act that loses momentum and... frankly... credibility by the time the credits role. 3/10 Okay… I just watched this movie.

It's always a good idea to create some expectation about the new releases, and the net is an amazing tool for advertisement. Thanks for your answer, I hope to watch this movie soon :).

I do agree with zockerstein's view that too many horror films come out at Hallowe'en, but there's a certain logic to that... give the market what you think it wants, even if that's Christmas movies in July. Gemma Atkinson talked about a summer release in a recent interview, if that's any reassurance. http://www.theargus.co.uk/lifehealth/features/4842025.From_glamour_girl_to_leading_lady/ zockerstein, there is a dedicated website launching soon. So keep sharing those opinions. You’re right Andrew, it’s entirely out of my hands.

I hope you're not waiting until halloween just "because" it's halloween... that's lame and overused for terror films. Or are your going to overlap with Harry Potter to take advantage from the participation of Tom Felton? Just a tip: there would be interesting to get some "behind the scenes", interviews or so elsewhere, or having your own web. It could help to promote your movie, avoiding some months of "silence".
