Night Wolf

And here we have it folks ... The very epitome of the fall of horror cinema ... This has all the visual style, depth, and maybe even stars, of the latest episode of Emmerdale Farm ... Flat picture ... No idea of lighting and atmosphere ... Full of soap opera cliché characters ... Just total mediocrity It is not any more expensive to make something look good than it is to make something look like television ... It just takes talent and imagination ... Unfortunately that is something that is totally lacking in modern day film makers I would suggest stopping ... Getting your own camera ... And spending a bit of time experimenting to see what sort of interesting images you can create before throwing up another rehash of some kids TV series with a bit of gore added cos your grown up now ... Tragic

8.1 rating?! (as at April 2012) Did you see the same film I did? Yet perhaps another sad case of inflating ratings in order to soothe filmmakers egos.

No tension, no pace, no catch phrases, no humour, no wit and unfortunately no "horror".

Poor acting, annoying characters, uninspired direction, unoriginal plot = 90 mins of boredom.

Credit goes only to the movie poster. Why is it that all the really bad horror films (not good bad, but bad bad) have really great posters/DVD covers?

Simply avoid this clunker, you will be a much happier movie lover for it!

Not having a clue what this movie was about prior to sitting down to watch it, I could be nothing but surprised.

The movie started out a bit slow, but was quick to pick up in pace and start blasting onwards. There was a lot of thrills and suspense building up not far too into the movie, and that was what was working the best for this particular movie.

Actually the cast did a good job with their roles, and each brought something good, solid and unique to the movie with their individual roles. Not award-winning performances, but still very good shows of talents here.

There weren't really any twists to the storyline, except for one that was revealed at the very end, but you saw it coming, so it wasn't a moment of utter surprise by then.

I am not going to spoil it here and say what the movie is about, but trust me, "13 Hrs" will keep you riveted to your chair throughout the entire feature. You just want to see what waits around the next corner and see what is going to happen.

Though, honestly, I do not see this movie as having enough value or weight in it for a second viewing. Having seen it once, is enough, and I doubt it that I will ever be returning to watch it a second time around. It was good, just not that good. But for a non-Hollywood movie, they actually pulled it off well enough. The movie had definite potential and could have been so much more. Now, I am not saying it is a bad movie, not at all. They just didn't get as much out of the movie as they could have, which actually is a shame.

If you think you are settling in for a gory well thought out horror film, you should know a few things. There are many things that make no sense & are unrealistic. It started well, the production value was high and all of the acting was on point. That being said, when the "creature" appears and attacks the whole thing gets a bit wobbly, as in why couldn't it do this or why didn't it just do that. This took away from it's validity for me. Also there are a number of slayings done off camera which took away from the horror aspect some, leaving little gore. They also left the vision of the beast up to the viewer, showing it only in quick blurs. Whenever we were given the beasts point of view it relied on the old everything is red scheme. There is some character development for the main lead girl and it didn't really go into much of the boys past, mostly they have all been stuck in the country manner in England while the girl(Gemma Atkinson) went off to the US for 8 months & there was some displeasure due to the fact that she never called or wrote not even to her best friend. Of course this all started happening not much more than an hour of her being back home so it doesn't have time for their backgrounds to add up to much. There is a very well planned twist to everything at the end so don't go away till the credits role or you run the risk of missing the brief voice over at the very end. Lastly I must mention the problem of the remaining eyebrows, once you have seen it you should know what I mean. It was still entertaining for me in spite of the weak bits, I would recommend it to any creature/horror genre fan, it's a good time killer. I'll give it a 5.0

Silly film, awful sfx, hammy acting, unsympathetic characters, dumb plot with a bit of a dog soldiers influence, but definitely not homage. At 80 mins you're thinking easy watch, but it felt a lot longer as I waiting for it to either get better or just to end.
