Werewolves of the Third Reich

This is what happens, when fanboys a try to make films. It's not the tiny budget or the terrible accents that make this film awful. It's the obscene directorial hubris in attempting to ape Tarantino's mastery of the long tense slow-build scene.

Having said that, if you don't have a lot of money, and you're filming in the UK with British actors, why not attempt something you might actually achieve, instead of totally over reaching yourself?

This. . . is. . . horrendous! It's obviously low budget. Very low. That in itself is certainly not a detractor. But Gawd Damn! When we "enter" Mengele's concentration camp their are exactly four young adults that are supposed to be the entire POW camp. Two men Two woman. Modern looking women with long stringy hair parted on the side. The "blond" had 5 inches of exposed dark roots. Apparently they couldn't even manage to dye her hair one way or the other. It's like they took what little they remember from high school history class and threw it in here and there and decided to mix in a bit of The Island of Dr. Moreau. This is not a compliment at all. I would recommend you save yourselves and choose something else; but you are gonna do what you're gonna do. 2 of 10 stars because I don't like to flunk people completely.

Will admit to feeling nervous about seeing 'Werewolves of the Third Reich'. The low rating and poor reviews were not promising, and too many of my recent low-budget viewings with both of those here have proven to be that bad and worse. The idea also seemed really ridiculous, even for one clearly not meant to be taken seriously and with the potential to be executed in an intelligence insulting way.

My nervousness proved after watching 'Werewolves of the Third Reich' to be justified. 'Werewolves of the Third Reich' was yet another film to be that bad, as bad as the low rating and reviews suggested, and worse. It was not only ridiculous and terribly made but also intelligence insulting to a near-offensive degree, with a huge amount to criticise and nothing to recommend. Have nothing really to add, with it said already so well, other than my thoughts.

Knowing where to begin with the criticisms is difficult. 'Werewolves of the Third Reich' looks cheap, with drab and rushed-looking photography, haphazard editing, risible visual effects that just look strange, inauthentic and shoestring budget-like costumes and far from atmospheric or spooky settings. The sound quality is intrusive and obvious and can remember little about the music other than how ill-fitting it was.

Dialogue is cheesy as sin and delivered with accents that are both stereotypical and incomprehensible and words delivered in a way that will make native Germans and those studying German cringe and feel insulted. The story is uneventful in the first act and becomes increasingly silly and implausible, as well as tension-free and lacking in coherence. The action is clumsy and dull and the direction shows no engagement or experience with the material.

Characters are irritating and little more than cartoonish caricatures. Don't let the titular creatures elevate things, they are barely in it and are poorly designed. The acting is all round awful, with lots of histrionics and bizarre miscasting (Hitler is one of the biggest dishonourable mentions).

Overall, terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

The cover of "Werewolves of the Third Reich" is highly attractive and promising - and that is all. The film is not a "trash movie" (such as "Braindead", "The Toxic Avenger" or "Piranha") but a complete garbage. The story and the screenplay are laughable in the bad sense. The cast is ridiculous, highlighting the ham Lee Bane, an annoying "actor" with terrible accent. Nothing works in this movie, the special effects are worst that those from the Sci-fi Chanel and the mask of the werewolf is terrible. See the DVD cover and forget the flick. My vote is two.

Title (Brail): "Lobisomens do Terceiro Reich" ("Werewolves of the Third Reich")

I havent seen such a trashy try to make something call a movie with crap actors.They didnt try to be like Tarantino,just they creativity and IQ didnt let them do this.Complete crap and garbage.No comments
