YOUR RATING
She Wolf Rising (2016)
She Wolf Rising is a comedic horror throwback to a Fright Night 80’s classic.  It’s a fun ride that explores the dark side of underground filmmaking. Gina Sklar, the reigning queen of horror, portrayed by Tiffany Shepis, lures Jake Bubar (Tim Mandala) into the decadent world of illusions and myths. Robert Lonzo (J. Edmund Fond) is Gina’s mentor and producer in the world of horror cinema. Someone has stolen the footage from his latest movie and Gina needs Jake’s help to recover it. It’s Lonzo’s best movie ever and Gina’s breakout performance. Gina believes that this movie could catapult her out of the “B” world of films and into mainstream cinema. Jake struggles with his own demons internally but in the end cannot resist her. He only sees her vulnerability and beauty and will do anything to help. Jake’s beliefs are challenged when he discovers Gina’s true nature and realizes that the “the heart becomes savage.”  Together they forge ahead and deal with the demons and beasts that try to stop them from their forbidden desire.

    Going, going .. and gone!

    We follow our main character, Jake. He comes across a horror film actress of which he admires, Gina. They progress, and soon fall into a relationship; he then has to find a missing film?

    Something that has to be said about this film, right off the bat. The plot, and story progression is extremely jumbled, and misses the mark on explaining said story clear, and concisely. During the beginning of this film we had a pretty good introduction, and beginning act. The story began unique, taking an intriguing narrative take on. However, this film didn't take long before it met it's downfall; as said the entire plot's extremely difficult to follow, and doesn't explain clearly, offering some story / plot introductions, only to suddenly drop them, and forget about them. What once started off in a solid approach lead to a confusing, mixed, and unclear plot / story that didn't exactly even resolve anything. Another flaw of this film. This isn't truly a horror film. This is honestly a romantic drama in disguise of a horror movie gimmick, that being the "She wolf" story that they just kinda threw in there for what reason? Beyond me. The film, as emphasized before was decent, and interesting at first, but again, it slowly faded into an odd, uneventful turn toward drama, and romance! Let's put it this way, Jake and Gina had only been with each other about a week in the movie, and he's already saying he loves her. Simply moving, isn't it? Overall it's pointless, and disappointing too, as if they threw all the solid ideas away and stuck with low, rushed romance for no real reason; of which, also, resolves nothing for the film. Let's get to the acting. For a low budget film, there's your typical low budget acting in this film, however one thing. What actually jacks up this review score for me is how fun it seems. It's one of those films that's bad, and you know it, but the acting is just funny in a sense to where you're stuck watching it, and seeing what the actors will do next. I also was intrigued by the characters these actors were acting as. You have your typical scene, however. The clichéd innocent guy with an overly sexual friend, of which said innocent guy's thrown into a conveniently overly sexual environment; constant situations involving sex, or suggestive situations. The main characters giver were decent for what they stood for, low budget, yet clichéd runs that succeed, an element that lacks with these low- budget films. It's a 50/50 shot, however, as we're given some characters that are just pointless, and thrown in to kill runtime, characters of which the film could've survived without, characters that portray clichéd, suspicious - like attitudes in this film.

    Here's my conclusion, so I don't make this review confusing, as this entire film is a bit of a challenge to even review. This isn't what it seems. If you're looking for an action packed, low-budget, and gory ride of wolf ladies killing people, you're in the wrong place. This film's not horror, it's just hidden behind a horror gimmick idea. This is truly a romantic - drama setting, involving one character narrating how he's gotten in a crazy adventure; an adventure that's really just him interviewing random people to help his "love" which really is just someone he met, kissed, and has had many sexual situations with. This film's your typical low-budget, clichéd filled film - pop up that has a story that resolves nothing, no real suspense, scares, or real build-up. The only thing that really saved this is the fact that the first-half was actually solid, and the typical, clichéd characters succeed in being bad, but in that rare, but good way. I'd honestly recommend looking elsewhere, unless you'd like to sit for about an hour, thirty minutes through all of this.

    Laughable monster peeks out in crush story

    My quick rating - 4,5/10. Well, not the worst I have seen. If it wasn't for some out of place humor that this movie has, this would really have some low scores. Truth is, the movie is not very good. The movie within a movie idea works out OK but the filmmakers got a bit lost in how to wrap it up with anything resembling logic. But that isn't really the point of it, seeing a "scream queen" transform into some sort of monster (why and go the title is wolf, I have no idea) and go around killing people is the point, right? Well, if you actually watch this, you will realize that wasn't the point. The movie is really more of a love story between the male lead (Timothy Mandala) and his crush on the scream queen in this movie (Jamie Lee Curtis need not be afraid). Yes, Tiffany Shepis does an adequate job in her role, and does not overdo it at all but the sheer ridiculousness surrounding the transformation and monster element is so laughable it earns points in how bad it is. If you appreciate "so bad it is good" then you may like this. But be warned, it is not a good film at all so don't expect it to be.

    There's just no way this is real

    After love-hating movies like Birdemic and The Room, I've been running after so-bad-it's-good like good cheese. Most of the time, it's boring, or just bad. This one is beyond every synonym of the word "bad". Of all the movies, I've seen in my life, it has got to be one of the worst ever. And that's even considering the budget. B- movies can still be good with talent behind and in front of the camera. There is absolutely none in this. I've seen kids with an 8MM camera do better. I've seen porn with better cinematography. There are DAY FOR NIGHT SHOTS. IN 2016. DAY FOR NIGHT. Double focus imagery is also a common thing, which hasn't been common since, what, the 70's? You know, back when we all agreed it was a shitty technique. There is just no way this was really made. I must've been watching someone's bad running gag or something. I must've stumbled upon a terrible Brooklyn play. This is like a parody of a porno movie within a much better movie... except it's not and we actually have to sit through 90 minutes of the worst movie of 2016 and easily the worst movie of the decade.
