Wer (2013)

Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating

A defense attorney begins to suspect that her client, who is charged with the murders of a vacationing family, might be more than meets the eye.

The Quartile Take

Wer takes an interesting found-footage/procedural approach to the werewolf myth, grounding it in a pseudo-medical explanation (porphyria) that gives it a fresh, grounded feel. The plot is competent and the legal thriller framing adds some novelty to a well-worn genre, but the film struggles with pacing and the found-footage aesthetic feels inconsistent rather than purposeful. Acting is serviceable without being memorable, and the ending devolves into fairly standard creature-feature chaos that undercuts the more intriguing investigative setup.
