Night Of The Wolf: Late Phases DVD review

Howling at the moon.

Fancy an unlikely hybrid of The Howling and Gran Torino? You could likely do better than Late Phases but it’s all we’ve got in this sub-genre and, for all its flaws, it’s hard to dislike. Nick Damici earns a lot of the credit as Ambrose, a blind Vietnam vet who moves into an old-folks community only to find a werewolf’s on the prowl.

Ambrose’s old-school lack of BS and inventive ways around his lack of vision make for an inventive protagonist but ill-conceived one-liners sit awkwardly with the slow-burn tone; one senses a filmmaker clashing with a low budget, rather than making it a virtue.
