Uncaged (also known as Beast Within in the UK) is a 2016 comedy-horror film directed by Daniel Robbins and starring Ben Getz, Kyle Kirkpatrick, and Zack Weiner.Jack (Getz) has already had a rough life. When he was young, his father was murdered by an unknown assailant and his mother disappeared, leaving her the obvious suspect. With this dark cloud hanging over him, Jack is sent to live with his aunt and uncle, and slightly weird cousin, Brandon (Weiner).On his eighteenth birthday, Jack receives a letter from his uncle inviting him up to the family's cabin for the weekend, citing the need to talk through some family issues. Jack takes him up on the offer, and heads to the cabin with Brandon and their friend Turner (Kirkpatrick).Jack is about to learn the truth behind his family's dark past, and why he just inherited a huge iron cage...

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Gonzo was already an abusive jackass to Rose, but when he shoots her dog, she and the audience know that all bets are off.

What Did I Do Last Night?: After waking up naked in the woods after his first night at the cabin, Jack assumes he was sleepwalking and wears a GoPro to bed the following night to see what happens.

Nightmare Fetishist: Brandon is entirely too excited to find out his cousin might be a werewolf. Then again, he's also excited by more "conventional" weird stuff like midget porn, and he was just as supportive when he thought Jack just had a kink for sleeping naked in the woods, so...

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Gonzo and his goons are dead, as are the two werewolves, and Rose and her baby are safe—but Brandon is dead, Jack's mom is dead, and Rose had to kill Jack in self-defense and got bitten in the process, meaning that the attempts to end the werewolf bloodline have failed. On the bright side, it looks like she will have some assistance in getting used to things...

Black-and-White Insanity
 Uncaged / int_a808063f
comment
Black and White Insanity: Turner slides hard into this over the course of the movie. First, when he learns that Jack's family has a history of murder, he's concerned that Jack will himself become a murderer, a fear "proven" by the attack at the train station. Once he learns that Jack is actually a werewolf (disregarding Jack's efforts to keep people safe when he transforms), Turner becomes determined to be the hero and kill the monster, even if it puts others (like Rose) in danger.

Tautological Templar: Turner becomes this by the end, exemplified during the climax when he brings Rose with him as bait to film the transformation of Jack and prove the existence of werewolves, and he seems genuinely shocked when Rose gets hold of a gun and aims it at him while he is himself partially transformed and clearly unhinged:

Our Werewolves Are Different: Involuntary Shapeshifter: Jack (and presumably other werewolves) change uncontrollably when the full moon rises, regardless of where they are at the time. Non-Malicious Monster: Brandon believes that the werewolf can't be blamed for anything it does because it's "just a monster"—that is, not a thinking creature and thus not attacking and mauling people out of malice. He does acknowledge that it's dangerous, though, and agrees to help Jack lock himself up. Painful Transformation: When Jack shifts onscreen, the shifting muscles and bones are clearly visible, as is Jack's agony. The Virus: Surviving a bite or scratch from a werewolf causes the victim to transform during the following night of the full moon. Wolf Man: Jack's werewolf shape strongly resembles Lawrence Talbot's in The Wolfman (2010).
