Werewolf’s claws
scratch, scratch, scratch, but they don’t cut deep. This disappointing first
feature from Ashley McKenzie might get under the skin of some viewers with its
stark, bleak, and episodic portrait of recovering addicts. For others, though, Werewolf might be akin to nails on a
chalkboard with its whiny protagonist, lethargic pace, and nonsensically random
visual style. There’s obviously a great stab at something here, but whatever it
is, Werewolf just doesn’t work.
