Synopsis

Blaise and Nessa are outcast methadone users in their small town. Each day they push a rusty lawnmower door-to-door begging to cut grass. Nessa plots an escape, while Blaise lingers closer to collapse. Tethered to one another, their getaway dreams are kept on a suffocatingly short leash.

digs5446 At times uncomfortable to sit through but that's kind of the point. This isn't escapism, this is an unflinching look into the lives of two addict lovers. With minimal dialog, the camera lingers closely to catch every bit of acne, crooked and rotting teeth, soulless stare...really great cinematography.
zombiechan I find the criticism that this movie is sad and depressing odd. Were people expecting a happy movie about two drug addicts living in poverty?Now I didn't feel as strongly for these characters as I did for a character like Richard Gere in Time Out of Mind. But I still felt for these guys. They were both portrayed decently by Gills and McNeil. Cinematography can be interesting at times and at other time it can be jarring. The camera focus being pulled away from the subject on to some background.
Martin Bradley The sad, boring lives of a couple of methadone users in a small, Canadian town. Ashley McKenzie's "Werewolf" makes few concessions to its audience; almost nothing happens and McKenzie films it in a flat, dull style in muted, washed-out colours that mirrors the life of its protagonists, a spaced-out Andrew Gillis and a zombie-like, almost silent Bhreagh MacNeil who act as if they're making it up as they go along. This is a bleak and not very likeable picture but at 80 minutes at least it's mercifully short though while you're watching it you might think it will go on forever.
twomainiacs I don't write reviews unless people have been overly harsh or rated 10 Stars to rubbish. Only one reviewer so far...you be the judge. This is not a horror or mutant flick. Arguably, this might be given a different title. Yet, as the story progresses (digresses?) one might think the title was right on the mark. Blaise and Nessa are two drug addicts with nothing going for them. Two addicts living together and trying to quit are similar to a married couple trying to diet together.....it doesn't work. One can only follow the story if you want to really understand the dilemma these two represent. The path they are on is a dead-end the moment you get the idea. We see these people every day, and yet, we never see them. Watch the movie, feel the helplessness, experience the atmosphere.....then maybe you would label it horror. Cookie
