For a unique spin on the werewolf genre, check out the Norwegian film ‘Viking Wolf’, currently streaming on Netflix. Is it a great movie? No, but it has some pretty good special effects and the acting and storyline are pretty decent.
A police officer and her family have moved to a new town and not long after getting there, the daughter meets up with some other kids at a party one evening out near some woods. Needless to say, it doesn't take long for a horrific attack to place on her and a couple of others, no one knowing what it was. Unfortunately, one young woman doesn't make it while the main character, Thale, does, as well as the boy she has her eye on. Later on, it 's revealed that Thale was bitten or scratched, which will cause her problems later on.
The spin is what happens next and takes place toward the ending of the film. I won't say you won’t guess what's going to happen but I liked the director’s approach and way of handling it. It does appear to leave the door open for a sequel, although I'm not sure it's necessary, as the film wasn't that good. However, it is a pretty good popcorn flick.
