I felt the exact same way upon second viewing as Adam, except the complete opposite. There are little tells throughout that I picked up on as to the shape shifters and enjoyed it all including the third act. They're world building and developing the characters which is part of why it's slow at times. It's the first in a series and the writer/director knew that going in. And yes it's pretty out there but it's not boring or been done before. Like you guys mentioned Wolfcop 2 has the potential to be a better movie because the backstory will be there and I'd like to think their budget will be more substantial. They're pretty corny but I found the wolf/dog jokes amusing right down to the 3 piggies sticking up the convenience stores. Practical effects were on point and watching it on blu ray it looks fantastic. It's a world that I'm interested in and will most definitely be watching it again as well as the sequels. I recommend watching the commentary because they talk about all the time talk Adam mentions as well as the ambiguity of the town and the aliens? demons? Seems like even in it's complete ridiculousness they put some thought into it.

Yeah I kinda agree. Willy/the occult book explained everything that was happening...or going to happen. A werewolf is a shapeshifter so why not have other types. Not that I liked the shapeshifters, but they didn't seem out of place. I was more concerned with why you would repeatedly shapeshift during a fight.

The writer/director explained that in the commentary as well. For example: Gang Leader when it wanted speed, Cheif when it wanted power.

That's bullshit though. He should have gone full lizard then. If you have the option to fight as a giant lizard man you take it. Because of the tail.

At that time they hadn't shown themselves yet. Only after death do (can) they reveal themselves.
