Werewolves

I love Werewolves and all Wolfman stuff and I really looked forward to this Movie but I was really, really disappointed!!! I think Dog Soldiers is one of the greatest Werewolf movies ever and after hearing rumours of a sequel, which never came to fruition, I got really excited upon hearing about another Werewolf movie in the msking and had high hopes considering the leaps and bounds made with special effects but this story seemed to be unimaginative, rushed and had massive plot holes!!! VERY, VERY, VERY Disappointed!!!! I think that me giving 3 stars is very generous TBF!!!! I hope that future Werewolf movies are to similar standards set by Dog Soldiers, American Werewolf in London and even Silver Bullet!!!!!

I loved the idea of the movie, but this wasn't that good at all. Lens flares in almost every scene. No interesting characters. Bad CGI when it was used.

There was hardly any explanation of the plot. It's almost like this movie was written in the hopes that someone would buy the rights to make a video game. I mean, you have a great idea for a new werewolf movie, but instead of fleshing out a good story, you have to make a sloppy, rush to streaming mess.

The only saving grace to this movie is that they did use quite a bit of practical effects. If you like shoot em ups and Grillo, you may like this movie. Otherwise, don't hope for a good werewolf movie from this poor submission.

This is exactly the kind of dumb movie I needed to see right now, and going in with those expectations, this movie delivers. I strongly disagree with the person who said it was the worst acting they've ever seen, unless they've only ever watched Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson in their life. The characters may be one-note; but they hit that note square on.

Yes, the editing is wonky in a few places. Yes, the characters make a few dumb decisions for plot reasons. Yes to almost any criticism you may have heard.

But this is a movie about Werewolves, as the title might suggest. And you see plenty of werewolves, and people turning into them, and people fighting them, and people getting eaten by them. This is really an impressive effort for such a low budget, and I feel like I got exactly what I came to see when I paid for my ticket.

It didn't take long before I felt a need to switch it off, but I love werewolf films so I pushed through (fml). Werewolves is 90 minutes of the worse lighting I've ever seen. Almost every frame is plagued by a copious amount of lens flares. I don't know if it was an artistic choice, but it's incredibly distracting and makes this film seem really cheap. The acting is as average as it gets and I just didn't care about any of the characters.

The visual effects were shoddy and the werewolf designs looked like these creatures regularly go for botox. Asylum would do better than this, I swear.

Overall it's a forgotable film that offers the genre nothing new. I would recommend watching lesser known gems like Late Phases, Howl and the Ginger Snaps trilogy instead. This is just poop.

GenX reporting in. I wanted to love this movie. I prayed that my local AMC would show it. It starts off one of the best sci fi horror action films of all -time, with Lou Diamond Phillips absolutely killing it. First act out of three is Perfection. Act 2 starts an uncomfortable trend of strobe lighting every scene until the viewer can't even handle it and it's a bit torturous. Act 3 is much better but the end fight is too fast. The werewolves are awesome! Very well done old school makeup, like this was made 40 years ago. They deliver on that. It could have been great, but falls short in the end. I still had a good time at the movies and I will see Werewolves 2 if they make it. If they do I hope they fix the lighting issues and add some heavy metal like ACDC or Sabbath to the soundtrack. The Frank Grillo dude is Cool! Great job acting. 5/10 for makeup fx.
