Review: Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf (2014)

Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf tells the story of Ambrose
McKinley, a cantankerous blind vet, who moves into a retirement community only
to learn the residents there have been dying, not from old age, but from dog
attacks. After surviving his own encounter with the canine one night, Ambrose
comes to believe the assailant is much more than a mere dog and is in fact a werewolf...
This film is a fantastic art house horror film. It gave me
hints of films like Bubba Hotel and Stephen King’s Silver Bullet.
The werewolves, yes I said wolves, in this film are ok and
do their job. I think the design should have been a bit more reserved on the
ears. Come on guys these are supposed to be werewolves not extra hairy werebunnies.
Also, they go a bit light on holding to the lore during the final act.
Lead actor Nick Damici is brilliant as Ambrose. He is the
heart of this film and pretty much carries the film on his shoulders.
All together this film ís a great time if you love monster
flicks with quirky main characters. I highly recommend this film. It is a
guilty pleasure and I want my DVD!
