Picture

Genre: Horror
Rating: TV-MA (M)
​Warnings: Gore, Nazis

This could have been an interesting take on the werewolf myth, but bad special effects ruined it for me. You can't knock a human head clean off in one blunt hit without moving the body or damaging the head at all. Blood isn't like water coloured red.

Distracting and silly, it feels out of place in the series and barely even professional. With the plot having the holes and nonsense that it does, it makes more sense: people won't notice how daft it is that an Army Officer would take personal revenge on one enemy soldier for killing his son if they're too busy rolling their eyes.
The interesting concepts of an immortal wolf-woman trying to finally die, soldiers stuck between the real horrors of war and the fantastical horror of a werewolf, and even werewolves vs Nazis are all wasted. Thrown together in a low-budget effects mess, it'd be better to just skip to the next short. Plus, the woman speaks French while the Germans only speak English.
