Lycan Colony

This film features a town or group of werewolves, just like the film The Howling! And that is about the kindest thing I can say about this drek. Obviously, a film made by amateurs that somehow got enough momentum behind it that it took off and ended up being saw by more people than those who made this film's family. Very cheaply made, very bad special effects and horrible editing make this thing almost headache inducing. Also, strange uses of green screens as they have the actors at the locations and at other times you can tell they are in a room.

The story, a trio of hunters are about to kill a young boy, but the boy is a wolf and soon they are all torn to pieces. Then we switch focus onto a family where the father is a brain surgeon who killed a person on the operating table while intoxicated and now live in the Lycan colony. A brother and sister come to find out what happened to their dad while the son of the couple gets coerced into the cemetery by a pretty girl. Soon, there is a brawl in two different bars or something that makes no sense and the night is very blue.

Yeah, this thing is horrible as not only was it made on the cheap, it also is incoherent as all get out. They focus on the family and you think they are the main characters, then it shifts over to the sister of the sister/brother duo. I almost suspect they were wanting to make an adult film, but none of the females wanted to get naked and have sex with their male costars so they just made a horrible werewolf movie instead.

So I would advise not hunting this film down as you will not be in for a treat. I find it baffling that this scores a 3.2 here on IMDB as it is much worse than films that rank lower. If I had to take a guess, more than a few family and friends of the film gave the film a high score due to their love for their family; however, it should be noted that I would have given this thing a two if I could have at least seen the girl that went after the son topless.

To call Lycan Colony a steaming pile of excrement but that would be an insult to excrement Only gave it one star because I saw it on Rifftrax and it made me laugh. This film is so bizarre even The Joker would say it's too insane for him. Really shouldn't make a film when you're completely wasted. A trained monkey would make a better director. There are adult films with better dialogue and music. The day Lycan Colony wins an Oscar is the day Trump is on Mt. Rushmore. This film could be used by a terrorist group to torture prisoners. Imagine what we could to Put in or North Korea with this movie.

It's a fascinating mess, not for general audiences, but film students will get a kick out of it. If you find artistic disasters entertaining, I recommend watching it after RLM's recent review; it'll give context to enjoy the movie.

This is by far the worst werewolf film ever made, even worse than those lousy Hammer films of the 60s. The plot of the film is standard horror fare (i.e. innocent family stumbles into a town of werewolves - mayhem ensues), but the true problem with the film is the editing and the effects. For editing, there are scenes where you can't hear a word any of the actors are saying, followed by very noisy scenes of no importance where you have to turn the volume down. Also, there is a big fight scene at the end which is so poorly assembled, I'm still not sure how many werewolves are involved in the battle and who was involved in stopping them. As for the effects, the werewolves look like white people wearing black face and amazon clothing, and the big monster werewolf looks like a computer generated teddy bear. I could go on and on, but I don't want anyone thinking this is a "so bad it's good" film. Avoid this one at any cost.

I like riffing on fun bad movies or watching pros riff on fun bad movies. If you watch this alone, it's painful. Manos makes way more sense. Birdemic is actually The Birds compared to this. Werewolf, which was an MST3K subject for good reason, is incredible compared to this. This is on par with Roller gator, the most insufferable movie I know. Avoid unless you are with some witty friends or watching the Rifftrax version.
