Lycan

There is this cable TV movie feel to it. Like a low-budget amateur vibe without the ironic cheese factor. You know you are in trouble when the opening credits have to say "Starring" before listing the cast.

The acting is college-level at its best, SyFy-caliber at its worst - not very convincing. Rather underwhelming with unstable accents and misplaced pathos. The lead actress is dreadful. Everyone seems to have taken tranquilizers every day of shooting.

The plot was a snore. Like one of the characters, I was more concerned about the jeopardy to their academic records than the supposed peril they were facing in the woods. The whole 80's thing just didn't really work. It could have been set whenever.

Oh, the score. There is this sparse piano thing THROUGHOUT the entire movie - but it is more like a touching and tender leitmotif from a sappy Hallmark or Lifetime romance story. It is so not suspense-inducing. So not horror. It really drove me nuts. Some of the songs were decent.

Overall, I didn't really like it.

NOT a Werewolf Movie. That's the important thing for me here. I was expecting and trying to watch a werewolf movie. Other than that, it wasn't terrible.

If it wasn't for the attractive females who are nude in the film, there would be no need to watch this POS.

Let's see:

1) Rife with anachronisms. 2) Apparently college professors can insult student's family members and not get censured. 3) College-aged adults act like high schoolers 4) Working in shorts and a mid-riff shirt are comfortable in Southern heat. 5) Werewolves aren't that scary.

Slow and tedious film with numerous scenes of a main character riding her no-speed bicycle apparently across dozens of miles of Georgia backroads. Again, without the nudity, even this becomes unbearable.

Got it from RedBox. Should have left it there.

Very predictable, very poor story, no thrill, actors can't act.

Annoying characters. The hint of a plot and underlying forces at play. And this all adds up to...nothing. College kids go into the woods to uncover the mystery around a reported werewolf attack years ago. And then the forces at play do something. I think. And it ends. I believe. But the wolves are still there. I'm guessing. If this makes sense to you, you may like this film.
