Michael Ledo Jack Luskey (Ben Getz) discovers he is a werewolf when he is 18, the hard way. It is a family thing. He goes to the cabin in the woods with his two friends, Brandon (Zack Weiner) a virginal geek and Turner (Kyle Kirkpatrick) your basic misogynist teen male.Jack has no control when he turns into a werewolf several nights in a row. This makes for an awkward vacation.The special effects are saved toward the end. There is only a little blood and gore. Plot and acting are okay for a "B" film. Film utilizes a few "Creepshow" style graphics. They drink Johnnie Walker Blue scotch...a nice touch.Guide: F-bomb, brief sex, male butt nudity. Drawn nudity.

panther_husky Are American teenagers really hooked on sex? So bored with films depicting teenagers so hungry for sex. Around 15 minutes or so of teens talking about it which I found to be a waste of time and footage.Annoying characters which made you cringe though the main protagonist was the best of all actors. He played his character well.Certain scenes were just laughable and I am not talking about it being comedic. It was just plain stupidity and no thought into what the scenes were trying to represent. Don't expect anything 1st rate as the whole film was done on a budget. As for originality, well, there were a few scenes which I thought were well done but it wasn't enough to justify the film as being good, scary or entertaining.

Ruby Chang I could literally go on and on about the characters being horrifically written. I want to. But I won't. If you have a deep well of patience, you'll be fine with this movie. If you are not planning to pay attention, you'll be fine with this movie. But otherwise... The characterization is just a huge problem. I have many other nitpicky issues, but this is such a big one that I think that's all that needs to be said (well, this and the major PLOT issues; how is one movie so bad??). Throughout the movie, the characters constantly throw me off with their bizarre behavior--and not in a good way. Barring the characterization, the movie is watchable, but unfortunately, a movie is nothing without its characters.

MikeHope44 I bought the DVD on the day of it's release and this is definitely one of the more better werewolf films i've seen as of late. There's a bit of everything suspense, horror, comedy, gore and action.It's refreshing to see that this particular film doesn't just rely on the beast itself to carry out everything. This is also a story driven film which makes it all the more interesting to watch as everything plays out.The special effects of the werewolf transformation may not be top notch Hollywood style but as a werewolf movie fan I applaud them for going with practical effects and animatronics it brings out more creativity and get's the actor involved instead of just having CGI do everything.Definitely a talented cast everyone seemed invested and brought the goods to the table. Ben Getz (Grotto, Multi-Player) does a wonderful job carrying his first full length film and if you buy the DVD (which I recommend because it comes with a funny blooper reel and audio commentary with the cast and crew) you'll find that not only is he talented but very dedicated to his character as well especially during certain outside scenes. That's something that will definitely work in his favor as an actor and I look forward to seeing more of him in future roles.Kyle Kirkpatrick, Zack Weiner (was hilarious throughout) and Paulina Singer were strong standouts as well.You'll find the title of this film is very fitting metaphorically because the beast in Jack himself is "Uncaged" once he reaches a certain age and literally because while Jack gets a cage with the exception of one time he tends to transform before he's securely inside which leads to some interesting things.All in all i'd give this movie a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a decent indie werewolf flick that's not like some of those thriller/horror movies you watch one time then forget about a few weeks later. This one has nice rewatch value that you'll enjoy for many full moons to come.
