I purchase the books, comics, and movies that I recommend and review and I do not accept free copies for review.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A werewolf stalks the citizens of a retirement community and it&#8217;s up to a blind Vietnam vet to stop it.<\/p>\n<p>Late Phases features a complex, elderly antihero whose disposition makes you want to hate him, but you can&#8217;t help rooting for him. Ambrose is rude, miserable and loathes the world, but you can&#8217;t deny he has reasons for being that way. His experiences in Vietnam left him blind and emotionally scarred. Now he has been packed off to a retirement community by a son who has legitimate reasons for resenting him.<\/p>\n<p>On his first night in his new home, his guide dog and his neighbor are slaughtered by a werewolf, but only Ambrose seems ready to face the truth. He&#8217;s many things, but first and foremost he&#8217;s a warrior and no one will stop him from putting this creature down.<\/p>\n<p>Ambrose might not win any awards for charm, but he&#8217;s courageous and brutally honest. He&#8217;s plagued by guilt and his family has suffered because of it. He has faults and he&#8217;s grouchy, \u00a0but somehow he&#8217;s still likeable and at times admirable. Most of all, Ambrose is a well-developed antihero and he&#8217;s an elderly action-type character which you don&#8217;t often see, especially in horror movies.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d recommend Late Phases to those looking for a werewolf movie with a unique setting, a strong lead and interesting secondary characters.<\/p>\n<p>For more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2420756\/?ref_=nv_sr_1\">Late Phases<\/a>, visit IMDb.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-via=\"compbeastsblog\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviews and recommendations on the Compelling Beasts blog are my honest opinion.
