The attacker is not human, that’s for sure and it needs to be stopped. Then they discover that the wounds have a deadly bacteria and the clock is ticking for those infected.

This is impressive that people are stating that this movie has no closure..leaving me with an utterly confused look on my face. The idea of a sequel is to leave you with unfinished business so that the next film can carry many of the issues from the first. Anyway, I loved the suspense of not blatantly seeing the creature first hand. I would much rather use my imagination (which most people are lacking nowadays) and wait to see what the writer/director has in mind. I am excited for the sequel to come out to see how this will all wrap up, because no one should judge a movie series by merely plucking one film out of it. I hope people can open their minds to the idea of not all the facts being handed directly in front of them on a platter.
Our group of movie goers really liked this film. It was a horror film, but written and presented in an even paced approach, with funny moments, teenagers doing bike tricks, snowmobiles on dry land, surprises, action, and mixtures of every day life with this horror creature. The mystery of the Dogman unfolds, in a comic sort of way, with an element of a medicine woman as a quiet hero. The plot is interesting, layering back the ancient story of this dogman creature thing. What is it? We can't tell you too much, but it's a fun watch. The ending leaves room for more, we agree. Maybe a sequel? it was worth it to make a nice introduction, and we would welcome a sequel. Get your popcorn and enjoy this one. We did.
I enjoyed all of this movie but expected some kind of resolution, which never transpired. The story is about a weird creature being sighted in a rural area of Michigan. Part of the story is about a guy named Hank Purvis installing a night vision game camera in an area he hunts. You would expect footage from this camera to become part of the story, but it never happens. We never see anything recorded by the game camera. In fact, the only time we see the creature is inside five minutes from the end of the movie, reflected in a car window. We never find out what happens to the young man who was bitten. This is simply a story without an ending and it is absurd to think anyone was thinking "sequel." Worth a look, especially for Stacie Hadgikosti as the sheriff's deputy — wow! Slap the cuffs on, officer!
