This movie tells us the story of Jack, a guy who after his eighteenth birthday gets a mysterious letter from his Uncle to visit his home in the country. His cousin and friend join him and from there things get weird. After the night of the first full moon, Jack wakes up outside, naked and afraid. Actually just naked and not sure how he ended up outside. Using his friends GoPro, Jack discovers his family's dark secret after watching himself kill. Now he must make sure to cage up the beast within before he kills again.
I love werewolves. Love the lore of lycans. And this movie was, as I said before, 'eh'. The beginning sort of gives you the idea that the movie itself is based on a comic. Wait hold on...nope. Just looked online for a comic called Uncaged and its totally different than what the movie is about. The idea came to mind cause they used a bunch of comic art styles for it in some of the cut scenes and back stories. I'm not saying that movies that are not based on comics should not use the art form, but its implied when you see it. Anyways, the story itself is your average werewolf story. Dude learns he has a curse, tries to find ways to keep himself from killing, blah blah, howl howl. They do try to make it more interesting I guess when they add a bit of a side story with a survivor of Jacks first killing spree. But it just seems like such a last minute thought that you wonder why they did it in the first place.
The movie is not horrible, but its not something you need to go and watch immediately I'd wait until absolutely nothing is on and you are just bored and need background noise. I can't get over the werewolf make up. I get that it was a low budget film, but come on. We need more werewolves like in Underworld. Man those lycans rocked. Makes me want to go out and howl at the full moon. Dang, no full moon tonight. Oh well, gonna howl anyways....AARRRROOOOOOOO!
