Leave your thoughts about Late Phases.
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsIts avoidance of dealing with the horror head-on leads to too much ambiguity. |
| Fresh FictionJames ClayThis bland take on werewolves has an excellent premise and a slow burn to its pacing that had a lot of promise, but unfortunately, it wrote a few checks the script couldn't cash. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonWithout a doubt, Late Phases is one of the finest lycanthrope films of the last 20 years and a shining example of great independent horror. |
| Village VoiceZachary WigonThe narrative ends up working in a smaller scope than one might expect given the premise of a beast plaguing a community, but the journey getting to the finish is exhilarating all the same. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickAs the film leads up to its bloody conclusion, there's a sense of peace that falls upon our hero, a reparation that he is unable to find at the local church or even with his son. |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HeneryWhile this is not my favorite werewolf movie, it was still well done. I appreciated the use of practical effects and it was a pretty unique storyline. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeDamici more than holds the screen, too gruffly determined to be upstaged by a monster, and the script slips a clever trick or two up his sleeve. |
| TheHorrorShowScott WeinbergFeatures some great performances, a worthwhile sense of strange humanity, and, ultimately, a handful of truly cool werewolf sequences. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe plot favors simplicity over rationality with a cheerful insouciance that’s hard to dislike. |
| Slant MagazineChris CabinAdrián García Bogliano ends up merely toying with the death-steeped concerns of his characters, and taking the furious and bitter perspective that powers the narrative's ponderous dramatic core for granted. |
