Wolf

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.

The only thing horror about this film is that it's absolutely horrible.

Awful awful film

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.

Firstly, I have to confess that I got so fed up with this film that I left after 1hr, so if anything good happens beyond the 60min point then, dang it, I missed it!! But I based on what I DID see it's pretty unlikely.

The premise of a Werewolf in Roman Briton was very appealing. Indeed, the legend of the lycanthrope is referenced in Gaius Petronius Arbiter's 'Satyricon' written in AD60 - so there is even some historical relevance. But that's where the interesting stuff ends.

The acting is wooden, the costumes are too bright and shiny and the "hey, my buddy just bought a drone, let's use that for every shot" cinematography was a real drag. Sadly, it wasn't even bad enough to be charming. The only positive thing I can say is that some of the lighting was dramatic. As for everything else, Poorly executes families tropes from a bygone era.

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.
