The 1 Ghrol

The show follows a boy named Jack who just got accepted into college. He soon after joins a group of mages know as the “The Order of the Blue Rose”. Not long after joining he finds out his father (who abandoned him and killed his mother) is the head of this order. Not long after he becomes a werewolf and joins a small group of other werewolves ( whilst still being a member of “the order”) who’s sole purpose is killing and eating the hearts of magic users. He finds out that his father is preparing the order for an extremely dangerous spell. Oh yeah and his girl friend is in the order and constantly helping his father. That’s basically the story. Nothing ever really gets interesting and to make it worse the final episode (season 1) basically puts everything at the start of the season again. The Order is far from perfect and personally I only really stayed with it because I’m kinda obsessed with werewolves.

Personally I really enjoyed this movie. The protagonist looked cool, the fight scenes were alright and the scenario was pretty fun I reckon. When I first saw this movie in cinemas, I had absolutely no idea it was a remake (the original was before my time). I only saw a moral dilemma being explored in the form of a movie. Whilst I’m terrified of the idea of this type of thing happening irl. It’s fun to play around with in movies and what have you. I think if you can ignore the fact that this is a remake, you will actually really enjoy this movie (even with Sam L Jackson constantly popping up for literally NO REASON at all). Check it out and see for yourself

One thing I absolutely adore about these movies is how they manage to get me to feel every emotion under the sun and have nothing feel out of place. I experience emotions I’ve never felt before, watching these movies. The writers really know how to capture what the dog-human connection is all about; its beautiful. I absolutely adore these movies.

This movie had great potential but just didn’t really go anywhere. The movie feels the same the whole way through and doesn’t ever keep me captivated. It’s just a man and his boy trying to find food and avoid everything else. When I watched this movie on “Stan” I found myself fast forwarding it every minute or so only to find out nothing interesting has happened still. You could literally start watching halfway through the movie and you wouldn’t have missed a thing. I get that they wanted a really grim and dystopian reality but come on man at least make it somewhat interesting.

A genuinely incredible experience filled with emotion, brilliant acting from everyone on set and beautiful music. Personally I would have liked to see the songs spaced out a bit more but other than that definitely do go watch. I highly recommend
