Wolf

Oh Dear.

Start with the good bits. Costumes and make up were fine. Location : sunny and snowy Scotland. Acting wasn't bad.

Now for the bad bits. The script was bereft of polish and drafts. The plot left a lot to be desired. Special effects for the monster(s) lacking, perhaps a lack of budget was the culprit. The fangs were at best amateurish or cheap - being kind.

Cinematography was acceptable. However some parts could have used some rudimentary lighting assistance in the shape of some reflectors to counteract the shadowing of the eyes which any film student worth their salt would have noticed immediately. Cardinal sin - you have to see the actors faces in particular their eyes. it's no use if their eyes are in blackness or shadow.

Lack of variety of wide angle shots showing the characters, except for the aerial drone or Arriflex shots. Didn't give the audience a sense of varied perspective.

Watch, Wolfen, An American Werewolf in London, The Company of Wolves, Silver Bullet or Ginger Snaps instead of this garbage.

In short avoid.

Rating withheld for reasons of the ability to rate zero out of ten.

Let's start with the positives: there was a very clear shot of the moon - a crisp, clear image, the score had musical instruments in it and the beards looked real. It's not very long.

Other than that....every thing about this was just plain bad. Awful. If an infinite number of monkeys etc could blah blah Shakespeare, one monkey with half a crayon and a piece of cardboard and a hangover would be embarrassed to have written this. And the director may not even have been an animal. A houseplant, perhaps? Each actor said their monkey-written lines in turn, then a pause, then the next actor says something daft. This wasn't even so bad it's quite funny. I can't say anymore because writing this is making me remember the film which is making me feel tired and cold inside.

If you're at home and looking for a way to pass some time and the choice is this or unblocking a septic tank with your bare hands, good luck and wear safety glasses...

Sometimes when you watch a movie, you start to think about what the director and writers thought at the start thought the finished product would be like. Honestly, they should have thought about it and left it at that.

Poor script, poor acting, very few moments of historical correctness and gone overboard with political correctness. I mean, a female legionairre? I'm all for having tough women in movies, but a female legionairre simply wouldn't have happened, Romans wouldn't even have considered it. I get this is fantasy, but it's based on reality. Then they should at least get the historical foundation right, same goes for some of the equipment. It's not that hard to find someone who actually has knowledge about the Roman period and army. It just shows that the director and writers didn't even take their own movie serious, how is an audience supposed to be seriously entertained by it then?

My advice would be to skip this and find yourself a movie of at least some quality to entertain yourself.

85 minites of this utter dross tested my patience! Zero acting, talking head script and special effects makeup that kids wouldn't use on their Halloween costumes. Avold in the cinema, dvd or the streaming platforms. Save the 85 mintites for something else - bathing the dog, cleaning the toilet , spending time with the in- laws, anything but wasting it on this dross.

I have been watching films now for 40 plus years and I can honestly say that this is the worst film I have ever seen. Can't really add to what others have said except it makes Cubby Brown's UFO look like Citizen Kane.
