Werewolf: The Devil's Hound

What can I say that hasn't already been said. This movie sucked! The acting was terrible, the special effects were everything but special, the story was campy and pointless, the humor was pure cheese...the list goes on. Yet another crappy Lion's Gate film.

This film starts out somewhere in Germany...but I'm not sure what part of Germany. Apparently, it's the part where people talk like pirates, because no one had a German accent. There are military-type people; only they're wearing khakis instead of cameo. It's really just one big mess from the get-go...not a good sign. At the first werewolf sighting...which looked more like a man in a Yeti costume...I knew I was in trouble. But I persevered and continued watching.

Then came the part where the fire marshall was smoking outside the fireworks shop...which is bad humor in itself. And as any good fire marshall would do, he throws his cigarette into the dumpster. Of course, there is gunpowder in the dumpster...why wouldn't there be? As any good fireworks manufacturer knows, you always throw your leftover gunpowder in the dumpster. In truth, I turned it off at this point. I just couldn't take it. It was that bad. Do not waste your money on this garbage. And if you know anyone that thinks this movie is great...slap them HARD!!! 0.25 / 10

I got the DVD of WEREWOLF, THE DEVIL'S DOG, and I was quite looking forward to seeing it, but let me tell you - this is one of the worst films you are going to see. I noticed on the Vote History that nearly 40% of the votes were 10 out of 10, all I can assume is that those votes were inserted by members of the cast and crew! Lets start with the acting, it borders from bad to absolutely atrocious, almost embarrassing to watch!. Put it this way you won't be seeing any of these people in the next Spielberg/Scorsese production!

The film itself, well I was going to turn it off after 10 minutes, boy I wish I did. - I started writing this review an hour and ten minutes in, it's an pain-inducing 89 minutes!

I know its a DTV film, but it just has that badly made feel to it, fast shaky camera work on all the kills, so you don't get to see much - don't let this film put you off DTV films, there are plenty of good ones out there.

The gore, well there is gore but mostly just red paint thrown over walls, and awful dummy props for limbs torn off but it's just not effective or creative. Trust me you will be seeing this on the Sci-Fi channel or Zone Horror in the near future - DO NOT SPEND A PENNY ON THIS FILM....It's Shite.

The reason for 2 stars and not 1 is for the Very Good Cover Art - Don't fool for it!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know it's a pity they don't make very many werewolf films and the real good ones are rare. Compared to all the zombie and vampire flicks lycanthrope movies are a scare minority. We've all seen the great ones like "An American Werewolf in London", "The Howling" (1st one only) and "Dog Soldiers". Basically we're always hoping for another gem like the three aforementioned mentioned classics. Werewolf: The Devil's Hound" is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of these. It FAILS in every conceivable way possible. There's no horror or drama, and the comedy is nauseating. The costumes are pitiful and the special effects are special ed. A ten year-old could have come up with a better plot. The actors looked like they were hired off the street. The directors should be ashamed to have any connection to this production. And the producers shouldn't ever be allowed to "produce" anything EVER again! This was as bad a FARCE of a werewolf movie ever made by mankind. I'd give it a NEGATIVE TEN stars if possible. Avoid this eye rot like the plague.

This film begins in Germany with a research laboratory sending a female werewolf by the name of "Christine Hofferman" (Christy O'Connor) to another laboratory in the United States. Unfortunately, she manages to break out of the crate which was accidentally shipped to a pyrotechnic company and all kinds of mayhem ensues from that point on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this is one of those films in which the directors (Gregory C. Parker and Christian Pindar) obviously couldn't agree with one another about what kind of film they wanted to make. So, rather than making any firm decision they combined action, comedy and horror in the apparent hope that something might work. They failed miserably in that regard as the action wasn't really that compelling, the comedy fell flat and the horror lacked focus. Likewise, the fact that this was a low-budget effort certainly didn't help matters either. To that effect, about the only positive aspect of this movie was the performance of Tamara Malawitz (as "Char Madden") who at least played her part in a credible manner. Which is more than I can say for anybody else. Be that as it may, this is not a film that I can honestly recommend to anyone and I have rated it accordingly.

I have worked on some films and TV and would be terribly upset if my name was associated with an end product like this. The producers(who also wrote and directed) obviously had means to some cool equipment and space but chose to do a mediocre production. One positive is that editing and cuts were not that bad but general film-work, lighting, and settings were inconsistent and looked cheap. This movie reminded me of cheap porno. I was waiting for someone to get naked the entire time. Even though the actors and actresses were somewhat good looking the delivery of emotion, lines and HORRIBLE accents was terribly distracting and annoying. Once more before I finish trashing this movie, the EDITING was well done.
