"The smartest ones, they went underground into a new wilderness, your cities. You have your technology but you lost. You lost your senses" – Eddie Holt

Why watch this? It's a pretty good film about werewolves hidden among us.

Plot Summary: When a series of brutal, seemingly animalistic murders plague New York City, detective Dewey Wilson is called in to investigate. Partnered with a criminal psychologist, he initially suspects terrorism but soon uncovers a deeper, more unsettling truth. His investigation leads him to a group of Native Americans and a disturbing legend about ancient, intelligent beings who operate in the decaying urban landscape.

Dad's Preview: NYPD cop, Dewey Wilson is investigating a series of grisly murders in New York City. As the case moves along, one clue after another starts to indicate that the killer may not be human, but rather related to wolves. Wilson interviews a native activist Eddie Holt, who coyly admits that he can shapeshift, which makes him a suspect. This film successfully merges two genres: police drama and werewolf horror. For all its expected scares and brutal murders, the film manages to remain intelligent and will leave you wondering about the true relationship between America's indigenous peoples and wolves since the early days.
