13HRS is a low budget British werewolf film dressed up as an obscure teen horror. It's also one of the worst-written films I've watched in a while, with a storyline consisting entirely of a group of annoying teen characters trapped in a clichéd creepy old house with a werewolf on the loose, running around and killing them one by one. There are twists of sorts here in a bid to enliven the narrative but the combination of lacklustre writing and poor direction help to sink it from the start.
It's also an irritatingly noisy film in which the werewolf attack scenes are a jumble of loud effects and disjointed editing. The director also has STRIPPERS VS. WEREWOLVES on his resume so you can see where he's going with that. The characterisation is nil, the dialogue is lowbrow and the actors unlikeable. The main draws are Gemma Atkinson (in a low cut top, naturally) and Tom Felton, who's barely in it. Sadly, this was the last feature for the late, great Simon MacCorkindale, who has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo right at the outset.
