Big Bad Wolf

Lowly fraternity pledge, Derek Cowly takes two of his frat brothers, their respective girlfriends, and his female buddy, Sam to his step-father's secluded cabin in the woods where they run into a werewolf. When Derek suspects that said werewolf could actually by his stepfather, it's up to him, Sam, and his Uncle Charlie (whom had a previous run-in with the creature years ago) to expose the monster. The gore isn't anything special, but good enough and the pacing of the movie is very nice, but the best part of this film is without a doubt Richard Tyson (from the great "3 O'Clock High" & "Kindergarten Cop") as Mitchell Toblat, the stepfather/ werewolf. He plays the role of the a-hole to aplomb and even let me just go with the rather silly notion of a talking werewolf. (a plot point, I must admit, that almost put me off watching the film completely) But to my surprise it actually worked in the confines of the film pretty well. It's not nearly as good as, say "Dogs Soldiers", which is my eyes is a bonafide modern-day classic, but it's still pretty entertaining none the less.

My Grade: B-

Eye Candy: Both Robin Sydney & Shannon Malone get topless

This was a fun horror film. It didn't try to be more than it was supposed to be, but did enjoy itself being all it could be.

The werewolf could have done with looking a little more wolf-like in both it's costume and it's mannerisms, and it reminded me of the old wolfman style pre-howling/AWIL.

The werewolf had some good lines and worked well with it's attitude overall.

The main characters were well acted I thought, and the plot was a nice horror plot that flowed well.

Gore, nudity, and naughtiness was all in good supply and didn't feel forced into the story.

Don't expect a scary film, or a psychological horror. It is what it is, a fun entertaining film with a few nice ideas and scenes that you don't normally see in films these days.

Good potential for a series of films, as the villain and content of the films could work well as such, as long as the production values are maintained.

In Cameron, a group of hunters is attacked by a wild animal, and Charlie Cowley (Christopher Shyer) survives but sees his brother Scott (Andrew Bowen) dying. Seven years later, his teenage nephew Derek Cowley (Trevor Duke) steals the key of his stepfather's cabin in the isolated Fire Road 13 and travels with four classmates and his friend Sam (Kimberly J. Brown) to spend the weekend having a party with booze and sex. However, they are attacked by a Beast that kills his friends in a sadistic way. Sam and Derek survive, and they suspect that his stepfather Mitchell Toblat (Richard Tyson) is a werewolf. When Charlie meets Derek and Sam, they decide to collect evidence to prove that Mitchell is the Beast and kill him, but Mitchell discovers their plot and chases the trio.

"Big Bad Wolf" is a surprisingly good werewolf movie, with gore and black humor. The beginning with teenagers going to an isolated cabin and finding a monster is not original, but the sadistic attack of the werewolf, specially the virgin girl, is hilarious. The situation of Sam collecting DNA sample is also funny. The special effects are great for a B-movie and in the end "Big Bad Wolf" is a very entertaining movie and recommended for fans of the genre. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

It's the Big Bad Wolf, and it has some "funny" phrases for it's victims. That's almost all you can say about this werewolf-flick. The main idea with the writers seems to have been the misleading start, which is a nice surprise, but after that the movie limps in a tarpit for a while, until the clihcé ending. Even though there's some innovative (but corny) scenes, it doesn't save the fact that it's not believable. It tries hard to be believable but f.e. the whole marriage abuse thing...c'mon. There is gore, and its good at times. There is a werewolf cracking black jokes. And there's teens in trouble. The plot is somewhat mediocre, and I can believe that the writers have worked it. But it always amazes me why they tend to forget the police forces from this kind of movies. And you'll understand what I mean if you watch this movie. Acting is at time to time good, but the main character is really, really one dimensional.

So 5 stars and thats because of two reasons. First of all, werewolf-movies are a rare breed in 21-century so i'm kind of supporting the fact that these are even made and second of all, the gore is fine.

Saw this on a dvd in 2007. Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own. The movie starts in some African jungle wher a hunter is attacked brutally by a creature. Cut the scene n we get to c a group of teens heading for a cabin inspite of being warned by a stranger not to go there. There is sufficient gore n a lil bit of nudity but the scares were zero. There is no tension n the worst part is the transformation scene. It looked like a cartoon from the 80s. In fact the transformation scene from An American werewolf in London is still one of the best. There is a scene where a man is supposed to retrieve the stolen report n jus run away but the level of stupidity is annoying when he jus keeps on lingering in the place knowing there is a werewolf around.
