A Werewolf in Slovenia

A Werewolf in Slovenia (2015)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

A large number of werewolf sightings are reported in Slovenia so a group of people travel there with hopes of capturing one on video.

A WEREWOLF IN SLOVENIA sells itself as being some sort of documentary or perhaps a mockumentary. I'm not exactly sure what it's trying to be but it's really a disappointment and especially when you get to the very end and you really realize that you've wasted your time. The problem with this movie is that nothing here is all that interesting. We learn that you don't need a silver bullet to kill a werewolf. We then learn that it's not a bite that turns you into a werewolf but some believe it was by wearing the skin of someone who had been hung.

The film tries to pass itself off as a documentary and there are interviews with witnesses as well as some video footage, which is said to capture a werewolf. Again, the entire set-up just feels rather cheap and I'd argue that none of it is very believable. A WEREWOLF IN SLOVENIA just isn't interesting enough to be bothered with.

55 minutes of boredom. Might have been mildly amusing as a 15 minute mockumentary, but they went all in with stupid for 55 minutes. Couldn't finish watching. Skipped ahead several times. Native english speakers pretending to be Slovenians with poorly faked stereotypical Dracula accents. Even if you like campy stuff, you'll hate this.

This is a werewolf mockumentary. The beginning of this was the best part - the documentary part was really great I did enjoy that part of the film. Now the part where they are trying to pass off the "real werewolf caught on film" was terrible. The werewolf looked like a man in a nearly black monkey suit and the people that caught the werewolf on film were horrible actors - they are not convincing actors. It ends with a guy in a werewolf costume in a gray suit jacket running in the woods so you can barely see him. (Pause the film at that point you'll clearly see the gray suit jacket). IDK if they were trying to parody "Werewolf of London" (1935) or what but he was wearing a gray suit jacket.

I don't recommend this film to anyone but if you do decide to watch it just know it's not that grand. It's simply a mockumentary - not really a horror film nor is it really a documentary.
