Werewolf: The Devil's Hound

I've seen porn with higher production values, a better plot and better special effects!!

In a world where American Werewolf In London, Dog Soldiers and The Wolfman exist, why does anyone need to make a film like this? Oh yeah because it's a purely cynical exercise by soulless, trashy film makers with less ideas than their already pitiful budget to make loads of straight to DVD crap movies, stock them on shelves in Blockbuster and trick unsuspecting suckers into renting or buying what on the cover seems like a big budget Hollywood production.

You'll know how bad this is the second you see the Yeti like werewolf, it has to be the least scary thing I've ever seen. I don't really know if I have enough will left to finish the review but if yourrrgghhhbllluuuurrrghhhbbbllaaaaahhhhgabbbagabbahey

I got the DVD of WEREWOLF, THE DEVIL'S DOG, and I was quite looking forward to seeing it, but let me tell you - this is one of the worst films you are going to see. I noticed on the Vote History that nearly 40% of the votes were 10 out of 10, all I can assume is that those votes were inserted by members of the cast and crew! Lets start with the acting, it borders from bad to absolutely atrocious, almost embarrassing to watch!. Put it this way you won't be seeing any of these people in the next Spielberg/Scorsese production!

The film itself, well I was going to turn it off after 10 minutes, boy I wish I did. - I started writing this review an hour and ten minutes in, it's an pain-inducing 89 minutes!

I know its a DTV film, but it just has that badly made feel to it, fast shaky camera work on all the kills, so you don't get to see much - don't let this film put you off DTV films, there are plenty of good ones out there.

The gore, well there is gore but mostly just red paint thrown over walls, and awful dummy props for limbs torn off but it's just not effective or creative. Trust me you will be seeing this on the Sci-Fi channel or Zone Horror in the near future - DO NOT SPEND A PENNY ON THIS FILM....It's Shite.

The reason for 2 stars and not 1 is for the Very Good Cover Art - Don't fool for it!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This film begins in Germany with a research laboratory sending a female werewolf by the name of "Christine Hofferman" (Christy O'Connor) to another laboratory in the United States. Unfortunately, she manages to break out of the crate which was accidentally shipped to a pyrotechnic company and all kinds of mayhem ensues from that point on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this is one of those films in which the directors (Gregory C. Parker and Christian Pindar) obviously couldn't agree with one another about what kind of film they wanted to make. So, rather than making any firm decision they combined action, comedy and horror in the apparent hope that something might work. They failed miserably in that regard as the action wasn't really that compelling, the comedy fell flat and the horror lacked focus. Likewise, the fact that this was a low-budget effort certainly didn't help matters either. To that effect, about the only positive aspect of this movie was the performance of Tamara Malawitz (as "Char Madden") who at least played her part in a credible manner. Which is more than I can say for anybody else. Be that as it may, this is not a film that I can honestly recommend to anyone and I have rated it accordingly.

This is a straight to video release that should be sent straight to the trash. It's not even good in an ironic way. I must admit however, I only watched about 20 minutes of this "movie" then gave up. The quick choppy editing early on in the film was enough for me to make my decision. I watch a lot of movies and trust my opinion.

I skipped ahead a few chapters to see if anything of value happens, still the same garbage. I tried the audio commentary. It seems they were going for a bit of action, some comedy, an 80's feel and of course horror. The result is a far, far, distant cry from anything like American Werewolf in London, Silver Bullet, or Ginger Snaps.

Those horror and action films of the 80's that the creators of this flick were modeling weren't attempting to be classics, they just happened to be good movies that remain timeless.

Better luck next time creators of Werewolf: Devils Hound.

I have worked on some films and TV and would be terribly upset if my name was associated with an end product like this. The producers(who also wrote and directed) obviously had means to some cool equipment and space but chose to do a mediocre production. One positive is that editing and cuts were not that bad but general film-work, lighting, and settings were inconsistent and looked cheap. This movie reminded me of cheap porno. I was waiting for someone to get naked the entire time. Even though the actors and actresses were somewhat good looking the delivery of emotion, lines and HORRIBLE accents was terribly distracting and annoying. Once more before I finish trashing this movie, the EDITING was well done.
