College student Chace (Cameron White) feels drawn to Dawn (Stasi
Esper), a mysterious girl who's new to the small town he lives in and
whose path he crosses time and again, if unintentionally. Weirdly enough,
when he's with her, he feels ... odd. Thing is, he's a werewolf, he just
doesn't know it yet. Dawn's also a werewolf, but actually more than just
that, she has magical powers that might end werewolfkind as we know it -
which of course is why Chace is feeling so odd around her. Still, it's not
long before the two fall in love. There are however other werewolves
abound out to kill Chace to ensure the werewolf status quo, and they
really stop at nothing and are especially keen on slaughtering partying
youths. Neither Dawn nor Chace want to fight them, but not even Henrick (a
scene-stealing Eric Roberts), a mostly drunk werewolf hunter, can help
them, so a big showdown is inevitable. Dark Moon Rising
is nothing if not confusing, it features rather odd jumps in time, leaves
out important passages, leaves things half-explained and also changes
between its characters' fantasy and their reality without warning. Oddly
enough then, all of this hardly spoils the movie's enjoyability, as the
whole thingis very well structured and paced, features cool setpieces
aplenty, and is carried by interesting (and well-played) characters. Plus
it's really beautifully filmed and briskly directed, so even if you might
not understand everything that's going on, you will at least be well
entertained!
