Wolvesbayne

Which goes for the plot, but also for the fact, that guy like Marc Dacascos would sign up for something like this. Of course it might have sounded better on paper (script). Still, if this were your first movie to see with him, you'd be excused if you thought, he shouldn't ever act again. That he actually has something to say, and also is not that bad in fighting (in movies), would be a fact that you'd miss out on. Maybe you should rent "Drive" instead.

Apart from the thin characters and the very cliché story (no surprises here), there's also the weak FX and the poor production values. While everyone is of course trying to do there best, there is quite a few other films out there, that are worth to be noticed.

In the underground war between vampires, some othe vampires, werewolves and people, neophyte human guy must learn to harness his newfound wolf powers to stop the extra bad vampires. There are some decent variations on the theme here and it's cool to see Mark Dacascos back in some sort of werewolf-adjacent movie after his superlative performance in Brotherhood Of The Wolf; although this is certainly more of a vampire movie than a werewolf movie in the traditional sense. Regardless the production values and most of the supporting performances are CW-tier. The sometimes-incisive dialogue can't salvage a plot that's about as formulaic as it gets.

Duh!!!!! How many times can do a genre & come up with something completely new lmao. It had it owns story first of all that I hadn't seen anywhere so kinda just sounds like the person was throwing bs against the wall to see what sticks. Nothing new here is getting old. Millions of movies have been made, and when your attacking a certain genre as a writer I'm sry but your gonna kinda have to do somethings that has already been done by default. But I'm sry, this isn't a rip off of anything which is what that lazy comment suggests. Been done before or nothing new here is so frustrating to hear, especially when it's total bs. Even when its somewhat true we should all come to expect it after ova century worth of a movie library in the millions but when this movie was clearly its own & believe me I have zero ties to the movie i get so aggravated because it's like these people must think their are an infinite number of plots available to come up with. No, the characters may change, their personalities, their jobs, the obstacles they face, but at a point no matter the movie you watch your gonna see something that you've seen before or reminds you of another movie. It's basic probability & odds really. Simple math. But they probably already knew that since they wanna appear to be smartest person in room

In 1887, the powerful vampire Lilith (Yancy Butler) is vanquished by a vampire council and four amulets avoid her return to the world of living. In the present days, the greedy Realtor Russel Bayne (Jeremy London) is pressing Alex Layton (Christy Romano) to sell her store of esoteric products to him. While driving back home, Russel stops his Ferrari to help a young woman that has troubles with her Volkswagen Beetle in a lonely road. However, they are attacked by a werewolf and Russel transforms into one a couple of nights later. Meanwhile, a vampire clan led by the evil Von Griem (Mark Dacascos) is retrieving the ancient amulets to bring Lilith back. When Von Griem's minions try to abduct Russel, Alex helps him and Russel teams up with Jacob Van Helsing (Rhett Giles) and his peer group to avoid the return of the devilish Lilith.

"Wolvesbayne" is a flawed but entertaining vampire movie that seems to be the pilot of a TV series. The story has a promising beginning, but suddenly the plot becomes a collection of clichés and special effects. The prosthesis of vampire teeth seems to be bothering Mark Dacascos and his grimaces and Yancy Butler is unrecognizable with a terrible performance. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Anjo das Trevas" ("Angel of the Darkness")

Turned into a werewolf, a man teams up with a group of hunters tracking down a race of vampires looking to reincarnate a vicious vampire queen that will overthrow humanity and bring them back to prominence.

All-in-all, this one was pretty decent but could've been a lot better. One of the biggest strikes is the rather jumbled plot here, with a lot more going on than what really should be happening and hardly any of it makes any sense or really feels justified in it's inclusion. Even more troubling is the fact that there's not a whole lot of plot discussion given out as time goes on, rather it's all given at the end and never really does a good job blending it all together. That is somewhat made up for by the rather fun amount of confrontations here, since it appears to be a war going on with both sides and it definitely feels that way here, especially given the amount of bloodshed given on both sides as several of the extended encounters get quite bloody. While there is some fun to be had here with the resurrection scenes as well, it really can't overcome the jumbled mess of a story though.
