5/10
So-so werewolf film; bad acting.

Warning: Spoilers
The Three Acts:

The initial tableaux: Cayden starts out as a high school quarterback with a fine girlfriend. Things devolve quickly for him. His behaviour on the field brings up questions. When the girlfriend suggests having sex in her car, his arousal triggers something else, and she runs screaming. He returns to his home only to awake with his parents dead and blood on his hands.

While the cops attempt to get enough evidence on him to put him away, Cayden hits the road. He eventually meets Wild Joe at a bar, and Wild Joe points him to Lupine Ridge.

Delineation of conflicts: Cayden wants to know more about who he is, and why he goes through these changes. The people in Lupine Ridge know some of the answers, but do not give them up all that easily. A gang in town is rather monopolistic about who holds what power in and around the town, and Cayden does not fit in that scheme. The people in the town and the gang outside of town have only an uneasy peace, and law enforcement seldom spends any time in the area.

Resolution: Cayden needs to uncover and resolve the tension between the town folk and the gang.
