Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf (2015)


A Lifetime drama meets 1981’s The Howling in a comedic, harrowing, werewolf thriller Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf (2015) by director Adrián García Bogliano, Ambrose McKinley (Nick Damici) is a United States Army Vietnam Veteran, an old school lone wolf who takes matters into his own hands, despite being blind and wounded in the Vietnam War. Ambrose accompanied by his son Will (Ethan Embry) moves his father into a retirement community called Crescent Bay Estates. The movie starts off well with great cinematography and undertones of dark comedy. Ambrose doesn’t let him being blind get in the way of anything; even on his first night at Crescent Bay he survives a harrowing werewolf attack. The local cops call off all suspicious activity in his community after surmising that the attack was an unknown animal attack from the nearby wood.   Ambrose’ key sense of smell he acquired after becoming blind, tells him it is more than a simple animal that attacked him. He discovers that animal attacks have been happening in his community once a month for some time now. After losing his guard dog to the beast he takes matters into his own hands to seek and uncover the truth of the death of his beloved guard dog and other strange occurrences that have plagued the small community of Crescent Bay. Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf is a must see for fans of werewolf movies. The wolf transformations are excellent and the fresh plot take on to a new level of thriller, keeping you guessing if it could be someone in the community itself or if Ambrose already knows who it may be. Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie with dark humor, mystery, and mysticism. Who is committing these heinous acts on the resident’s animals and fellow residents? Surely Ambrose will get to the bottom of it in this revenge seeking thriller. Late Phases: Night of the Lone Wolf is available for purchase on Blu-ray, DVD and available for rent on Amazon Prime
