DarkWolf

Synopsis : A new breed of horror roams the streets of Los Angeles. It's the Darkwolf, a vicious werewolf with a thirst for blood ~ and a lust for Josie, a sexy, unsuspecting woman with a mysterious power she in only beginning to understand. once the Darkwolf catches Josie's scent, nothing can stop his insatiable hunger to mate with her....and he'll kill anyone who gets in the way!!

Overview : This movie did have some potential but it was lost somewhere along the way. The movie did move smoothly from beginning to end and the story was decent, but the acting suffered and the special effects weren't very special at all. The transformation scenes from human to wolf made me feel I just jumped into an XBOX game as I looked around for my controller. I did enjoy the few scenes were we SEE the wolf and the leftovers it strew behind him but that alone wasn't strong enough to hold this movie together.

Jekyll's Rating : Some people are fans when it comes to the direct to video movies...I suppose I am not one of them. This one gets a 2 star rating from me....get it as cheap as possible if you must.

Why the hell was Kane Hodder cast in this?! He has much better potential with the Jason character, and hopefully he will be recast in the next Jason movie. Also, FILMMAKERS PLEASE RECAST KANE AS JASON AGAIN. I'M A LOYAL FAN!!!! Anyway, back to Darkwolf. This movie sucks!! The girls are pretty, I can say that at least. I don't understand why the power ranger chick decided to do nude scenes. But hey, got to make money right? The only person who tried to act, in my opinion, was the cop. I can't say that for everybody else though. The creature CGI effects were horrible. It's like the creators of the film tried to get a quick release. Do it right the first time!! But wait, I guess you have to have movies like this to laugh at right? The photo shoot was great might I add. My advice, leave this on the shelf and go rent Howling I or Dog Soldiers if you want werewolf entertainment!

Final Judgement: */****

Dark Wolf (Quick Review) Let's get right to it: This is a repugnant piece of rotting roadkill with cow sh*t on it. It's just an awful movie. It's an urban werewolf movie with some of the worst acting imaginable and a story as weak as any gangly nerd from an 80's high school drama film. What's worse is that poor Kane Hodder was duped into playing the gigantic evil werewolf. Kane f*cking Hodder. Someone's trying to ensure that playing Jason Voorhees is the height of his film career...

Anyway, former Playmate Jaime Bergman is also in the movie and she eventually becomes a werewolf, too. It's kind of a crappy cop drama with the world's worst looking werewolf in it. But it does have moments of near-rampant nudity. But that's about all. Want to know more? Okay, the werewolf is generally an ugly-looking black blur zipping around the screen. And when we're privileged enough to actually see a transformation sequence, we're presented with something that resembles a full-motion video from a video game made during the early stages of the Playstation. The first Playstation. The CG animation is really that primitive. Only good for horror hardcore fanatics that want to see small moments of nudity surrounded by rampant visual vomit. 2/10

Well.....one positive thing I can say about this flick - it contains a lot of nudity, really nice chicks....but perhaps they should stick to getting naked, cause acting are NOT for them..

This is a good example of a bad story mixed with nudity because the director is well aware that it wouldn't sell in other ways..

The wolf looks like a chimpansee on the run, and the acting is horrible, especially on behalf of 'Samaire Armstrong' (qv) - she has her moments when she acts cute, which works for her - but in the scene where she tries to act tough - my god, it's a pathetic display of horrendous over acting..... stick to being cute, PLEASE!

In short, don't waste your breath on this film, you'll be sorry

This quickie, shot with high-definition Pananvision 24P cameras, isn't as unwatchable a werewolf movie as some reviewers have stated, but it's nothing to howl about either. The centerpiece is a swell lesbian nudie number (poorly edited with one of the werewolf attacks), but it's about the only really satisfying bit of exploitation found in this hokey horror flick. The dialogue is too humorless and contains way too much expository blabber for a werewolf genre script. The male performances are generally acceptable, but there's virtually no acting on the part of the casted females. Samaire Armstrong is particularly annoying in the lead role as Josie. DARKWOLF is essentially the product of a noticeably uninspired team of filmmakers; at the very least, they didn't seem to have their hearts into making a fun monster movie.
