"Wer" is an enjoyable, low budget horror film that touches on the basic themes of Werewolf lore (both historical and cinematic) rather than trying to bedazzle the audience with an overload of CGI effects. I really enjoyed how the film takes place in France, where the legends of werewolves ran rampant in the 1500 through 1700's. The curse is still spread by surviving an attack by an inflected beast, and the werewolves are still fast, strong, and menacing. While the appearance of the werewolf in this film is less impressive than other movies, the physical effects and make-up are highly appreciated and is a breath of fresh air.
The plot of "Wer" is kept simple and straight forward, focusing on a American defense attorney who is brought in to defend a quiet loner named Talan who is accused of killing a vacationing family in the wilderness of France. Talan is actually a werewolf and escapes from jail, going on a rampage in Paris.
