Spotlighting the subject’s mother brings a fresh perspective to this coming-of-age monster film.

Jacques Molitor’s film doesn’t have the original ideas needed to leave a deep impression, but it’s very well done, and worthy of comparison to prior movies...

Don’t dismiss this werewolf drama because of the B-movie title.

3.5/5

Silence and patience with both camera work and dialog help to create an unsettling atmosphere, elevating this movie from a thinly developed creature feature to something closer to art.

An engrossing, often haunting movie that breathes new life into a common horror subgenre.

4/5

The perfect viewing partner for Good Manners, Wolfkin has an abundance of atmosphere and parental trauma. A haunting and melancholy film Wolfkin is set to enthral all that lay eyes upon it.

First, this is NOT a werewolf film. It's more monster-as-metaphor crap. Some hair. Some nails. That's it. Skip it if you are expecting a creature film. Also, the film poses numerous key questions and subplots, and answers none of them. Get over yourself movie. You need to meet your audience at least half way: - What exactly is the cause of the boy's condition? - What exactly happened to his father? - What's the exact story with the people at the Communion? - Is the entire town part of this? - What's in the meat? - What's in the treatment? - Someone was bitten, shown to having a reaction, and then... nothing? For the love of god, stop with the false advertising. It's not a werewolf movie. It's not a monster movie. It's tired, lazy, and lies to the audience. Skip this.

The best thing about this movie is when it's over, you never have to watch it again. There is nothing memorable in it. "Ginger Snaps" is a million times better.
