A Steaming Pile of Junk!

The scariest part of this movie is that its an hour and a half...

This movie should be locked in a vault and never allowed to see daylight ever again. Speaking of daylight... In this movie a good 70% takes place at night, alllthough the director had the Genius idea to do everything as "day-for-night" shots, and as I'm sure you can guess, this never works. It ended up looking like someone tapped blue cling wrap over the camera lens.

as if the camera work wasn't bad enough, he also decided that 90% of the speaking in the move should be redone with voice overs which apparently were recorded in an old solid tile bathroom by a 7 year old.

As for the plot, i really cant discuss it....because there wasn't one...moving on...

The acting was pitiful. I have seen better acting in my sisters 7th grade Shakespeare play's. There was the constant feeling that each actor was reading off of cue cards just out of the scene... As a note to the actors, it really not your fault, and in having a chance to talk to a few of them what i understood the stage direction was something like a kid with downs trying to calculate the terminal velocity of the lunar lander on mars.

my friends and i are still under the impression that this was the directors first movie. The script seemed like it had been rewritten every scene just to include some cheesy iMovie effect. The amount of actually sense vs special fx was 1 to a 100. I left the theater premier feeling like a was just mentally curb-stomped. I was actually surprised that no one had a aneurysm during the premier. Next time i attend (if i ever do) a Rob Roy production I'll want EMT's on location just in case.

Rob went more for quantity rather then quality of effects. They mainly consisted of Microsoft clip-art on a still background with yet another horrible voice-over.

So if you ever have a good 2 hours of time to devote to a mindless waste of humanity, give Rob Roy a call and get ready for the best ab workout of your life.

I give this movie one thumb down. It so bad its funny, this is a perfect candidate for MST3K.

Currently watching this movie

For the record, I have never been so confused, so many times, during a movie.

So Bad it's good . . . kinda

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.

Can't even give this mess one star

My family watches terrible movies every Saturday afternoon, notably MST3K and Rifftrax, so we have seen some cheapjack, head-scratching, miserable cinematic failures and quite enjoyed the idiocy of many. This was so deeply awful that even we very tolerant fans were disgusted at the truly HORRIBLE acting, if that's what you want to call it--we figured these people were relatives who wanted to be in a supposed "movie", hoping for their 15 minutes of fame. Infamy is more like. I can't believe that anyone connected with this was ever in anything else. We couldn't discern the plot, which was simply an incoherent mess, not helped by the abysmal sound quality. The cinematography, again, if that's what you can call it, was so bad we made faces at the strange filters and howled at the cue cards that showed in several scenes. Whatever was supposed to pass for special effects could better be found at a Halloween store combined with someone's phone which, by the way, we concluded the entire thing was filmed on. Gratuitous swearing to make the principal female character appear tough and current was stupid, as was a very Mediterranean appearing woman who was supposed to be a Native American and whose dialogue was so pedestrian and insipid we couldn't fathom why she was in it unless, see above, she was related to whoever was responsible for this travesty. We thought it was over--at last--at least three times ere it was actually over. So whom, exactly, was the audience? Where was this shown and did anyone actually pay (besides us gullible Rifftrax aficionados) to see it at a venue of some sort? Don't get me started on the music. In sum: utterly incomprehensible script, kindergarten-minus acting, laughable "effects", amateurish dialogue, annoying music, and not one redeeming aspect, altogether. There was no character about whom we did or could care. "Best of the Worst"? Someone was stone-inebriated when this was deemed the best of anything. The best comparison I can give? It was even worse than "Ice Cream Man."

When a bunch of friends get together and say, "Let's make a werewolf movie!"

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.

Bad is bad, but this is bad BaD BAD!

Holy cow, I never thought I would ever find a contender for worst movie ever made since "Manos: Hands of Fate" or "Birdemic: Shock and Terror." Yes, I'm a Rifftrax fan. I'd be shocked if anyone came across this dungheap by any other means. It feels like a movie someone made with their phone just to show it to friends and family, then hide it away forever on an external hard drive, only to be found and made fun of years later by posterity, and eventually forgotten forever.

Just like the films previously mentioned, every scene of this film, every SECOND, is a firm example of what NOT to do when making a film. And, despite how horribly made it was, it's still got enough entertainment value to at least amuse a room full of drunk college roommates. Seriously, it's perfect to show to any film student, whether they are self-proclaimed, conceited "movie buff" posers, or legitimate film scholars, this film should count as a good lesson of everything to avoid doing when making a movie.

Worth a view like "Sharknado" was worth a view, nothing more. PLENTY of horrible, raw material to guffaw at. From the horrible special effects, to the laughable "Geddy Lee" wanna-be creepfest bartender, you'll be roaring in fits of laughter in no time.

And side note: I'll be DAMNED if the makers of this cinematic twaddle weren't fans of Supernatual. I mean, come on. "Hunters" who were raised by a hunter father?!? Really??!?

It's hard to do worse

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.

Worst Werewolf film of all time

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.

Why did I watch this?

I have a co-worker that views a youtube channel that exclusively watches the most horrid of movies. He recommended to me "Suburban Sasquatch". My room mate and I found that completely laughable. I did not even have to view the Rifftrax version of it to get a multitude of guffaws. It was similar to "Plan 9 From Outer Space" so bad in every aspect that it makes one laugh.

He recommended this movie. I assumed it would be in the same in its incompetency level as the other, I was utterly incorrect. I watched 15 minutes of this atrocity and not one laugh.

This is what I reference as a "Purgatory" or "Limbo" movie. A production so completely absent of positive facets, it should not exist. We are being drowned in such movies these days. Everyone believes they can act, write scripts and film, they cannot and this is proof of it.

Cinematography is horrid. Much shot out of focus. Night scenes are badly done. These are the kind of movies that induce headaches. No proper framing of shots.

Acting is non-existent. I saw that one actress had over 100 roles until I saw all were "Uncredited". Can one make a living in films just being a background person?

Sound: At the 15 minute mark we encounter an interaction between a young man and woman. I was raised on a farm in an agricultural area. We had crickets. They were not SO loud that you had difficulty hearing what a person is saying to you standing a scant 2 1/2 foot from you. ADR anyone?

Nothing to see here. It is a waste of your viable life span. I do not understand how SO many of these POS movies are being made. Everyone has to be in complete and utter denial of the fact they are making a piece of excrement.

I give this a K9 outta 10

Basically a movie of a furry suit with a town full of "werewolfs". Take it as you see it, very very very bad movie and I use the term movie very lightly as I've seen high school movies with better quality. There is funny moments within the movie if you enjoy bad B-movies if your looking for bad dialogue, bad editing, bad overall this movie has it., like looking through the keyhole...... Of a doorknob. Some special effects is basically straight from ms paint and converted to png and that's just some of this black hole you are diving into.

Even worse than you expect

This movie is insane. The people involved must have been driven mad by the process of making the "film." Rob Roy is clearly a deeply delusional man. How else could he have cobbled this together without giving up? The sound design is a nightmare. The special effects are terrible.

The lighting, though, is where it really shines. There are numerous day-for-night scenes. I was expecting an indoor day-for-night sequence from having seen reviews of the film, but I wasn't expecting it to come in the first 10 minutes. This is an embarrassing, terrible movie that cannot be believed until you've seen it.

I felt sorry for it.

I consider myself a connoisseur of fine schlock. I love bad movies. They have an entertainment value all by themselves. I cam usually laugh my way through the painful acting and poor excuse for editing, but I can finish them with a smile on my face. This one needed the help of Rifftrax to muddle through. I think it was done by either 12 year old kids with a 90's Era camcorder or a very stoned bunch of homeless vagrants trying to explain a bad lsd trip. It was so bad...it just stayed bad. But, I may keep it in mind for some night when I feel masochistic.

The perfect film for stoners!

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.

An immensely silly and cheesy werewolf feature)

Arriving in a small town, a new doctor and his family are welcomed into the community even if they notice the odd behavior and physical conditioning they exhibit, and when he realizes what's going on in the town when he finds they're werewolves trying to control a rogue member teams up to stop them.

Overall, this is a problematic but still somewhat watchable genre effort. Among the better features of this one is the general setup that brings everything together into a pretty decent starting point. The idea of the family coming to the town and what they all face when they arrive is pretty much based on the revelation about the true inhabitants of the town that slowly reveals themselves, this part comes off quite well with the males involved in separate storylines that make sense regarding what's going on. With the father getting an up-close look at the inhabitants with the involvement of the hunters looking into their missing father while the son gets to know the neighbor which slowly brings him into what's going on in a more direct and physical means, there's a lot to like with the setup in place here. This all sets up the rather cheesy but still fun encounters that focus on the werewolves and humans interacting together. From the opening ambush of the hunters that show off the creatures' intelligence quite nicely to the quite goofy bar encounter where the truth gets revealed in several silly encounters, this one gets quite wild and over-the-top the longer it goes on with the series of interactions involving the werewolves explaining themselves to the family. The way they adapt to everything is a bit quick, but the fact that this all sets up the inherently goofy and overly silly finale where they battle the bad werewolves in the woods which is filled with some fine conceptualized combat and stalking that takes place but it's the immensely silly execution that gives this the kind of fun to be enjoyed here and holds this up for the most part. There's not much holding this one back but it does have some strong flaws. The main issue with this one, and the most overriding factor on display, is the generally obvious low-budget setup that offers no real escape from the limitations it imposes on the film as a whole. This is mostly apparent in the shoddy werewolf effects that don't have the type of body coverage or realistic effects imagined in the genre, the general lack of lightning in most night-time sequences that are impossible to make out, or the laughably poor CGI that barely looks better than superimposing the shots onto each other, there's nothing here that looks remotely realistic or believable which causes the action to take on a goofier and less genuine tone compared to how it had been presented beforehand. This goes a long way towards making what happens here look as bad as it does so there's not much but still features one big flaw to bring it down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.
