Versipellis (Werewolf Transformation)

Many thanks to Werefan for making this clip possible.

The clip below is from a hard-to-find Italian short film. The transformation itself is abbreviated (and it looks like the rest of it would have involved skin-ripping), but as werefan points out, the real glory of the film is the werewolf suit, with its excellent design and menacing face. Proof yet again that old-fashioned special effects can still kick CGI's ass.

Hello Anon,

What I posted is the entire scene--the filmmakers cut to the bartender right when the skin-ripping began. That's all that was shown. Though I'm not a big fan of skin-ripping, I would never delete it from a clip. It's a pity more wasn't shown, but I'm assuming they didn't have the budget to show more.

I love TF of any kind. As long as the form isn't human. I'm a therian this eases my species dysphoria. I do like the idea of skin ripping. I do prefer the shape shifting style best however.
