Wolf Guy

About This Movie

Wolf Guy, directed by Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, is a fascinating mix of action, crime, and horror that leans heavily into its supernatural elements. The film centers on Akira Inugami, a compelling character who's the last of his werewolf clan, and you really feel the weight of his lineage. The atmosphere is gritty and dark, punctuated by some surprisingly effective practical effects that bring the werewolf transformation to life in a way that's both unsettling and captivating. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to its charm; it meanders through a convoluted plot involving corruption and murder, making you wonder how it all ties together. The performances, especially from the lead, really ground the absurdity, giving it a unique tone that lingers long after the credits roll.
