Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJulie Delpy now admits that the only reason she made the film was to pay her rent.
- GoofsWhen Serafine transforms into a werewolf, her knees fold backwards to become the werewolf's hocks (the equivalent to the human ankle) and her upper leg bones bend forwards to become the werewolf's stifles (the equivalent to the human knee). However, humans and wolves have very similar leg structure, so there was no need for any of her joints to change, and she could have become a werewolf with just a lengthening of the bones from her ankles downwards. As it is, she will now have an extra joint in each leg.
- Quotes
Andy McDermott: So... hey you guy's are werewolves too, huh? Super glad to know you.
Claude: Andy, I don't think you have accepted the gift that has been given to you, or much less appreciated it. We have a mission, Andy. To purify the world that why we pick our victim's from the scum of society. The governments of the world spend billions on medicine, welfare, charity to what effect? It only keeps alive, the weak, the stupid, the lazy, who breathe and multiply, weakening the human race. All my men I have chosen for their loyalty their dedication to the coming age. But you... you were not to have been. You're an accident, an anomaly. I do not wish to kill you. I pray you will join is in our rise to become the new mankind. Pure free of disease free from the trappings of technological advance, will you join us... Andy?
Andy McDermott: I don't know. You know that's a big decision. I'm gonna need some time to think about that.
Claude: Sure.

Revisited it recently.
This second installment is about Sérafine (Julie Delpy), daughter of David Kessler and Alex Price from the first part, staying in Paris with her stepfather who is on the verge of developing a cure for stopping the transformation of Sérafine. The cure has the opposite effect as it forces werewolves to immediately transform into their beast form which made Sérafine kill her mother n injure her stepfather.
I liked the movie when i first saw but aft revisiting it, i didn't enjoy it.
The effects are too cartoonish n the werewolves look more like demons with bad cgi.
Most of the creature mayhem scenes are shot in flickering lights n there ain't any good transformation scene or gory moment.
Nonetheless the beautiful Julie Delpy's nudity will calm all viewers.
The dvd which i own has the ending of Andy visiting Serafine at a hospital, where she has given birth to a child, whose eyes shift to look like the werewolves.
The version i saw recently has another ending where the couple are shown getting married on The Statue of Liberty n they both jump for an adrenaline rush cos the cure is adrenaline, which stops the transformation.
