Ascendant

Rising Wolf is a film that, based on the title and the original teaser trailer, I thought would be an epic movie about a girl who didn’t know she was a werewolf and was trapped in an elevator on the night of her first transformation. This movie, in my opinion, would have been absolutely torturous hell and also a fascinating opportunity for any actress to carry the kind of performance in basically a one room set where she had to figure all of this out and go through this horrible thing completely alone.

I was so ready for this movie and ready to praise whoever thought it up.

Rising Wolf is of course NOT AT ALL about that … and is about something completely different and was eventually renamed Ascendant.

It was absolutely NOT the film I was expecting and yet still had a lot going for it … including ONE GOOD computer effect that the entire film was written AROUND and RE-introducting us to actress Charlotte Best … which I am thankful for because she’s wonderful.

I rode my Peloton for the ENTIRE of this awful and also incredibly ambitious film and didn’t understand ANY OF IT until HOURS later after really examining what it was trying to give. I appreciate the effort of everyone involved in bringing it into existence. It’s not good, it’s also not entirely terrible.

I still want to see the werewolf in an elevator movie …
I still think that would be wonderful to watch …
