It's a werewolf rom-com! And made for tv. Was this made for me? Abc family used to make some fun stuff. Anyway Finch from American pie is a werewolf, and he's getting married. His fiance is convinced that "all men hide stuff", so imagine her shock when she learns she's marrying a werewolf!
This brought back memories of flip phones, side bangs, tank tops layered over tank tops layered over tee shirts layered over long sleeved. We were so cool. Also I love the chaotic editing and music in this, it reminds me of a modern day youtube video.
Lots of lichen lore, they even say how being a werewolf is like being on your period lol #truth. There's alpha and beta rules which help our hero out in the end. This movie isn't on YouTube but if you Google you will find it. Super fun and cheesy, would be good to watch on Halloween!

Generally speaking, I hate romcoms, especially from the 00s, but it's a werewolf movie and I'm obligated to see every werewolf movie with practical effects in it. And this movie has a surprisingly fantastic werewolf in it, both a good prop/suit and some nice prosthetics and makeup, unexpected for a made for tv movie!
It's also pretty watchable. The comedy is nothing new but also nothing obnoxious, and has a few weird elements that I genuinely liked. Honestly this was pretty cute, and you get plenty of on-screen creature. There's some bad digital effects, but that's to be expected. In terms of pacing and story, decent! Some of the werewolf films I've had to watch were a real slog but this felt snappy and it got to the point.

People still haven’t stopped shitting themselves over Midsommar, all the while this master class in elevated horror squeaked away silently into the night an abounding decade prior. *To the tune of Flavor of the Weak by American Hi-Fi* it’s just the Nature of the Beast.

Julia is going to marry Rich (the guy who scored Stiffler's mom in American Pie) and finds out he's a werewolf. Rich was bitten by Donovan, an assistant professor, while he was in graduate school. So Rich is a beta male and can be cured, but for that he has to kill the alpha werewolf (Donovan).
Nature of the Beast is a bland comedy. And it's not for lack of good characters. We've got a couple of goofy teenagers, a cocky TV anchor who takes himself too seriously, and a werewolf specialist locked up because people think he's crazy. These characters could be better exploited. It turns out that the movie falls short of its proposal.

This is a very strange movie. I cannot tell if they were going for more comedy or what, but there were no real laughable moments. And it certainly isn't a horror film. It is some sort of rom-com with a warewolf. Just strange.

Mediocre TV movie about a werewolf whose fiancee discovers his secret curse while spending a weekend with her parents. It’s a light, forgettable effort that does what it’s supposed too despite some painfully ugly CGI and a predictable plot twist.
