Werewolf Cabal

I do love a good horror movie and especially ones that don't take themselves too seriously. It starts with the actors. Take the scene that opens with a couple sitting and watching the television and then when a howl sounds they both startle. Hilarious without being pretentious. Just a great moment.

I watched this with a group of friends after talking them into it. One of the girls said is it gory? If it/s gory I don't want to watch. I said I don't know. I don't think so. And it isn't. I mean, not really. The so-called gory scenes are done in such a way they are more for comic relief than a true scary moment.

Just really well done... the acting, the writing, the directing. You can do worse than spending a couple hours watching Werewolf Cabal.

Genuinely don't understand the positive reviews on this. It was a movie that really didn't know what tone it was trying to set, acted out by the most cardboard actors they could find, with a script written with no concept of actual human interaction.

It was kind of fun watching for obvious continuity errors and trying to guess character motivation, but the script, vfx, acting, etc. Fell well short of delivering a cohesive plot. I can understand the low budget of the film and excuse the poor visual effects on that note, but there are so many movies on similar budgets that stretch the budget so much further with better script writing and acting.

I'm mostly just confused because it's not funny enough to qualify as a "horror-comedy," nor is it serious enough to qualify as a true "slasher." I'd generally recommend avoiding this movie unless you're planning on laughing at something silly.

Very surprised at the negative comments on this one, yes it's not a major Hollywood production with millions in the bank to spend however for a low budget film I was thoroughly entertained.

Sometimes you just need to enjoy a low budget film for what it is and being a big film fan I appreciate this and take it into consideration.

I do agree the acting could be more fluid however off the back of the past 3 years it's great to see fresh material and I'm sure the guys and girls involved in the making of this film we're glad to be back doing what they love.

If you appreciate a good and entertaining low budget horror comedy then give it a go.

Right, well I can't exactly claim to be harboring any expectations as I sat down to watch the 2022 horror comedy titled "Werewolf Cabal" from writer and director Chris Sanders. I had never actually heard about the movie prior to getting to sit down and watch it. And seeing that the movie had Vernon Wells on the cast list, well that was something that sort of made an alarm clock go off.

But I still opted to watch the movie, on account of it being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen.

Comedy? Nay, "Werewolf Cabal" was most definitely not a comedy. I wasn't brought to laughter once throughout the unfathomably slow paced narrative. Nor was I even brought to a smile. "Werewolf Cabal" was fully and wholly devoid of anything even remotely comedy related.

And as for it being a horror movie? Well, my friends, that might be stretching the term horror quite a bit. Unless you consider something that looked, sounded and felt like a home-made video as being horror, well, then you're in for quite a horror treat.

The acting performances in the movie were bland. Nothing noteworthy here, but thankfully I've seen worse in other movies, so that counts for something in favor of "Werewolf Cabal", I suppose.

Visually then "Werewolf Cabal" offers nothing interesting or worthwhile either. The werewolf was painfully obvious just an expensive halloween costume. And you know you're in for a bad time when a werewolf movie has werewolves with inarticulate heads, which clearly is just a furry, rubber mask.

If you enjoy werewolf movies, such as I also do, then do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Werewolf Cabal" from writer and director Chris Sanders. The best part about "Werewolf Cabal" was actually the cover/poster.

My rating of "Werewolf Cabal" lands on a one out of ten stars.

I found the premise of this film interesting - a parish keeping a werewolf locked in their church. The transformation scenes were well done and there were some decent moments of gore. It was nice to see Vernon Wells on screen.

As to be expected from a Chris Sanders film, the cinematography and the sound design were tight. There is a lot of audial and visual touches that give the film atmosphere.

Chris and his entire team show a lot of promise and have much to be proud of. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have to bring in the future.

Sure, the film has its flaws, but as this was made on a budget, and everyone put their best into the project, so any perceived shortcomings deserve a pass.

So, enjoy some dry and quirky British humour along with some simple, yet effective werewolf effects and some fun scenes of viscera and gore.

Thank you for all the entertainment you've given us, Chris Sanders!!
