From what I can find online about this piece, its the middle part in a trilogy of short films titled: ‘The Werewolf Cult Chronicles’. A 20 minute short film set in Vietnam via Stockholm, this is a Swedish horror film that seemingly wants to be ‘Dog Soldiers’ and its a bizarre watch to say the least.

The main reason being that its a short film where you can visually see and hear the budget run out across its full runtime. The opening 5 minutes (while not excactly breathtaking) have solid CG effects for 2004/05, have decent direction and cine, and while the editing is a little ‘explosive’ for lack of a better word, it feels right and looks pretty good.

However, once this opening 5 minute flashback cuts to the present day, the budget seems to shrink and shrink, with costumes looking cheaper and cheaper as the film runs on. the quality of the direction going from ‘stylish vision’ to ‘just about functional’, the amount of cuts shrinks right down, the edit becomes increasingly incoherent. And the special effects, which again, for 2004/05 start strong, end up getting cheaper and cheaper as the film goes on until we end bordering ‘Amazing bulk’ quality CGI and Halloween masks brought from a grocery store.

The plot itself is fairly generic, largely focussing on two soldiers in veitnam learning of a werewolf curse from the 16th century. Its all kind of bland…with Vocal overdubs that start of hilariously awful and end up sounding like someone trying to do an American accent, who’s never HEARD an American accent, But has had one described to them by a Norwegian…

All in all? I dont think its really worth your time. I do feel for completionists sake that I should at least TRY to find the first entry in the series…Just to see if im missing something blatent here…but yeah. Not worth your time, just kind of dull and its said everything it needs to say within the first 5 minutes or so.
