Bonehill Road

I like horror and werewolf movies, so if I give most of them a watch.

And most of them are a waste of time, no exception here.

The story can be told in 1-2 sentences, the directing is not overwhelming - to say the least - the actors are clearly inexperienced and most should definitely stick to their day jobs.

Well, some effects were not too bad, actually.

I understand this movie had a severely low budget, but in my opinion that's not really an excuse for the so called story, acting and directing,

Might be harsh to give it a such a negative review - it's a fan project where some heart might have been involved - but the ratings are way too high, and people shouldn't be suckered into watching something they are likely to regret afterwards.

Only go for it if you're really into low budget indie horror, otherwise you're better off just watching one of the very few good werewolf movies once more.

I'd never heard of this film before happening across it at my local Walmart. For $10, it looked like it was worth it to check it out based on the reviews.

Let me just say, the reviews are definitely skewed. The only redeeming factor this film has is the werewolf costumes, but we don't see them nearly enough. I will say, going into this, I knew it was gonna be a low-budget B horror movie, but the acting, writing, and directing really bring the joy factor down. It's worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing, but don't expect a lot out of this one.

I love horror films, and grew up during the Golden Age of 80s slasher flicks. I'm not some elitist snob who only gives big-budget films a chance, I approach all horror films WANTING to like them (this movie was no different). Based solely on the online reviews, I bought the DVD without having seen the movie. Now I remember why I don't do that. The acting is abysmal. I get that the movie is meant to pay homage to 80s films, but that would be an insult to 80s movies. It's like saying that the Ford Pinto was built to pay homage to the Chevy Bel-Air. I get that the budget was in the low thousands, but, still, "Blair Witch" cost less than that and had several things this doesn't, like atmosphere, suspense, talent, etc. I just finished watching the movie and am fighting the urge to get in my car just so I can have the satisfaction of throwing the disc out the window at high speed. It has no personality, the effects are sub-par, and the monsters look like a cartoon version of better monsters from other movies. There is one upside, though: I've been craving a sequel to the timeless classic "Dog Soldiers" for years, and I now realize I can make my own. Shooting begins in my basement tomorrow, as soon as my cell phone is fully charged.

Well, I was suckered in by the movie cover of "Bonehill Road", because it definitely seemed interesting, and I've always enjoyed werewolves in movies since being a kid. So naturally I sat down to watch this 2017 movie.

Turned out that this is a low budget horror movie, but there is nothing wrong with that in itself. But when the movie is weighed down by a lack of proper storyline and interesting characters then it becomes a problem. And that is what happened in "Bonehill Road". The storyline was so boring and mundane that I gave up halfway through the movie, I just simply couldn't endure any more of the nonsense that was passing for a storyline and script.

And it didn't help that the characters were so flaccid that I didn't even care about what they were named, much less what motivated and drove them.

I will say that for a low budget horror movie, then the werewolves in the movie were actually nicely made. The costumes looked good, detailed and interesting despite the fact that it was so clearly just masks and suits, given the immovable faces parts.

I have zero interest in returning to finish the rest of "Bonehill Road", because it just utterly failed to captivate me or entertain me.

My rating of "Bonehill Road" is a mere three out of ten stars, based on the fact that this is a werewolf movie after all and because of the werewolves themselves looked rather interesting.

If you enjoy a proper werewolf movie, then I wouldn't suggest you waste your time, money or effort on "Bonehill Road". Some of us did so you don't have to.

Whoever has been giving this 9 stars could not have watched the same movie I just suffered through! Acting was awful, story was trite.
