Wolf

I've never left a review on here before, however I'd also never left a film early until now. Thankfully I have a cinema membership so I didn't pay entry for this otherwise i would have been looking for a refund or transfer to another film. Poor acting, script, pace, camera work, this film had me redeeming qualities for me.

No matter what, the first rule of writing is to try to keep a film as historically accurate as possible, which can allow you to create situations around real events.

This movie just destroys all its credibility 4 minutes in with female legionnaires. I understand the current and understandable equality movements and fully support them, but you cannot impose modern values into a movie that takes place two thousand years ago. There were no women serving in any fighting capacity in the Roman Legion, PERIOD.

Secondly the acting is very wooden and the costumes and armor look like they were just made as they actually gleam. The special effects were also quite bad as was the writing. Due to the low budget they went for shaky cams in the battle scenes to make you so dizzy that you couldn't make out what was going on.

As I write this review over half the calculated ratings for this movie are 9's and 10's. The cast and crew must have quite a few friends is all I can say.

Low budget doesn't always mean a bad movie, but it does in this case.

Not Recommended.

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.

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.

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...
