Teen
Wolf
is a highly unimpressive series that copies elements from Twilight,
True Blood,
and Buffy
The Vampire Slayer
to create drama that only a pre-teen could really appreciate. The
editing is fast paced and jazzy, the acting is wooden, and every
character is too pretty to be taken any sort of serious in any
context. Its pure cheese. Some elements of the show loosely remind
you of the original Teen
Wolf
movie but it doesn't nearly have the heart or the comedy that that
film had. I honestly don't even know why they bothered calling it
Teen
Wolf.
The makeup prosthetics and digital effects aren't even commendable.
It feels too much like they played it on the safe side.
While
Scott struggles to find his place as an Alpha, Allison and Stilles
begin to experience strange side effects as a result of reigniting
the power within Beacon Hills. They soon discover that the answer to
their problems may be found in a new student named Kira, a girl with
remarkable powers of her own.
The
Three Disc set contains all 12 latter Season
Three
episodes and here are available in standard definition DVD preserving
the original 16X9 aspect ratio of 1.78:1 of the original broadcast.
The picture and sound are fine for the format but doesn't compare
obviously to that of the Blu-ray format. The sound is fine with a
lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track and subtitles are on the disc in
English SDH, Spanish, and French. Total running time for this set is
528 minutes.
The
only feature on the disc is the hysterical Following
The Pack: The Fans of Teen Wolf
where you see can see who their target audience is.
If
you are into this sort of soapy sappy pop culture phenomena and was a
big fan of the Twilight
series then this may be for you. For myself, its too tame and fake
to be taken seriously.
