Good Manners (Werewolf Transformation)

The Brazilian film Good Manners (original title As Boas Maneiras) is a critically praised fantasy-horror-drama about a nurse in São Paulo who ends up raising a small boy different from other children. He was born a werewolf and he turns into one at inconvenient times. The special effects budget seems to have covered only a few digital effects, but what's there is well rendered.

This edited clip shows the child undergoing two transformations--each is from a different part of the film. Don't worry about last scene--the wound isn't fatal!



Note: this clip is in SD because I wasn't able to find a better quality copy of the film.

EDIT: We received a wonderful gift from our reader Sebastian, who was obtained a higher quality video and has edited together a new compilation of the transformation scenes, including several bits in slow motion!

  1. Loved the nose part. That is not common and was well done.

  3. El niño en la película tiene que dormir encadenado para que cuando se transforme no le haga daño a nadie y aparte de estar encadenado también tiene que estar desnudo ya que cuando se transforma el rompe su ropa como lo vemos en su segunda transformación. Y dime tu ya sabias esto?
