Bubba the Redneck Werewolf

Sure, there was no doubt about the fact that I harbored zero expectations to the 2014 movie titled "Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" as I sat down to watch it here in 2025. I had never heard about the movie, but from the cover alone, it was obvious that this was a low budget movie. And the title just screamed cheese to High Heavens.

Yet, I still opted to watch the movie, on account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen. And on the off-chance that director Brendan Jackson Rogers delivered an enjoyable movie, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.

"Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" is not a stellar movie, sure, but it is actually so bad and cheesy that it is a fun movie to watch. The storyline is pretty straightforward, albeit somewhat silly actually, but it made for an enjoyable viewing, if you like cheesy low budget horror comedies. So writers Stephen Biro and Mitch Hyman actually managed to pull this off well enough.

Needless to say that I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

Visually then the movie was low budget, sure, but it actually worked out well enough in favor of the movie. I've seen far worse werewolf effects in werewolf horror movies that were passing themselves off as serious movies. So thumbs up to the special effects team that worked on "Bubba the Redneck Werewolf"

"Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" is a movie that requires you to enjoy low budget cheesy movies. And if you do, then you're in for a 77 minutes treat here.

My rating of director Brendan Jackson Rogers's 2014 movie "Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" lands on a five out of ten stars.

When a redneck doofus sells his soul to the devil, he's changed into a werewolf and, much like Teen Wolf, his life gets better. He gets laid, is popular and has to fight the devil at the end. Worth a view it could have been funnier.

I started this movie assuming it would be yet another in Amazon Prime which I can not tolerate after three to five minutes. Instead I was immediately hooked and absolutely loved it. The writing was very witty and clever, as were all the sight-gags. Excellent direction as well - enhancing the success of the sight gags. All the actors played their roles perfectly. Was it silly? Yes, but so is the Scary Movie franchise. Silly can be bad or be very good, as Bubba is. Highly recommend, especially to those like me, raised in the rural South, and anyone else for that matter. Kudos to all the cast and crew. You made me laugh out loud more than once and that is not something I do often.

This is a wonderfully campy horror comedy movie based on the comic book, "Bubba The Redneck Werewolf", created by Mitch Hyman. The movie was a long intense labour of love from everyone who was involved in it. That being said, this a fun silly movie that will become a cult movie classic for those who enjoy to knock back a beer, or three, or ten, as they enjoy watching movies where nothing is sacred and no one is safe from satire as the jokes fly just as much as ripped off limbs and spewing blood. The best thing about this movie is that it is written AND directed by the Mitch Hyman, the creator of the comic book, who also does a great job of stealing the show with his own acting as he portrays the devil himself, so it is definitely true to the original material! But if you just want a great funny, bloody movie to watch with lots of terrific one liners, then this is the one for you!

I'll likely try this one again some day, but I couldn't get past the opening credits. The "Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" song annoyed the hell out of me. I couldn't stomach it.

I'll rate the movie when I actually watch it.
