Big Bad Wolf

At best I was expecting a campy B movie with a little T & A and well, Big Bad Wolf delivered in spades. Derek Cowley steals the key to his step-dad's cabin in an effort to impress the local cool kids and get a little party action on. Derek's friend Sam, a leather wearing tomboy on a motorcycle, on whom he has a not-so-secret crush, is talked into going along. On their way to the cabin the teenagers meet a local who warns them to stay away from the cabin but of course the warning is unheeded. It doesn't take long before animal passions are running wild and I don't just mean the sex crazed teenagers.

Once the initial action and gore is over, something unusual for a direct to video movie happened... an interesting and engaging story broke out about Derek's abusive step-dad, Mitchell, the effect on his mother, his relationship with Sam and the truth about his father's death. A visit from Uncle Charley leads Sam into a situation that jeopardizes her relationship with Derek while uncovering the truth about Mitchell and putting all their lives in danger. Don't get me wrong, you won't see this picture mentioned at the Oscars, but the acting and direction are competently done and the special effects are really fantastic. Even more amazing when you learn what a short time-span they had to put everything together and learn their roles. Just because some of you will want to know... the girls are cute and all but one have real breasts.

I would recommend this highly to fans of campy horror like Feast, Slither and Shaun of the Dead. Don't expect to be scared or particularly grossed out (unless you have a weak stomach) but do expect to be entertained.

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.

Great little horror flick with very gory death's and some laugh's along the way. By no means a cheap waste of time and in places rather good.The idea of a wise cracking werewolf was new but the biggest draw back of the film for me was the werewolf make up.It totally sucked.The whole face was like a stiff mask with only the mouth moving.Bit like trying to be scared of a fancy dress costume.Why do that????

Its not the best horror film in the world and by no means the worst.I have seen much much worse.The actings good, the actions good and the whole thing looks like a great production, not a home made gore flick.

The little bits of CGI were fun.

If you want a no brain, gore fest which is easy to watch and follow, this is the film for you.

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.

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.
