Dark Moon Rising

Im a big fan of werewolf films, since there has been no really good werewolf films out for a while I had high hopes for this movie. The first half of the movie was passable but then it just turned into a drawn out, boring, bland mess of a movie. This film had a horrible script, poor acting, terrible CGI - I felt myself forcing myself to watch this one and in the end I turned it off 15 minutes before it was finished as I could not put myself through the rest of it. I gave this film 2 stars instead of one as it was never going to be a Hollywood blockbuster but it could have been so much better. As for the pages of fake reviews clearly made by cast and crew - we all know you had a limited budget, I think we would all respect you a little more if you had just been honest and said "Its a basic werewolf film, nothing thats going to blow you away" instead of "Its one of the best films ever made" - shame on you

"A group of shape-shifting werewolves descend upon a small town in search of a girl who is re-born once every 2000 years. She holds the key to their survival and all will die who stand in their way."

Read the above summary, because that is the ONLY explanation that you will get this ENTIRE movie. I wish I could give this a 0.

I have no clue what this movie was even about. Apparently some Werewolves with Gypsy powers are camped out in the woods, and occasionally eating people? The main character looks like he was plucked out of Final Fantasy 8 and thrown into a werewolf movie with 0 plot.

And then the main female role "Le Dawn" is in his imagination? Or she's a werewolf? Or she's a fairy? I don't even know. And then the main character gets teleported all over the place, and wakes up drooling. Is he a werewolf or something too? I don't know. Then he gets recruited by werewolf hunters? Who knows what the hell they were. The main character even asked for an explanation. And some drunk is like "I was in Vietnam, here have a flashback".

And mixed into all of this "movie" are scenes of a poorly CGI'ed werewolf randomly eating people. The werewolf is clearly arthritic, and no explanation is given as to how an old, arthritic werewolf is able to catch people.

And better still, why did they pick a cameraman who has cerebral palsy? Why didn't the main character buy a shirt that isn't ripped down the front? Why didn't the person who made this movie take 10 minutes to come up with an actual plot? Why did they superimpose the person's thoughts into dialect that was as equally incoherent as the rest of the movie? Why is everyone dressed emo? Why do werewolves have Gypsy powers?

Never have I felt like writing the words 'Do Not Watch This Movie' over and over again in a review, until now.

If you can make it to the opening credits and still have optimism that this movie might be good, then well done, you did better than we did.

This movie is infuriatingly bad in places and laugh out loud in others. I don't even know where to start with this, there are just so many things wrong with this movie that my head is feeling sore trying to think of them all. I'll stick to the main problems. The story is convoluted, the acting is terrible, the cgi effects are not only bad but also overused as if the director thought we'd want to see more of these rubbish effects than we needed to. It's just one big mess full of characters you don't care about doing things you just want them to finish with so the movie will end.

I watch low budget scifi, horror, fantasy movies and I enjoy lots of them, but this movie is an exercise into how not to approach budget filmmaking. Instead of trying to make some grand fantasy movie full of amazing effects and cool looking leather clad people who look like they've just walked out of The Matrix, and failing at all of those things, the writer/director should of focused on the basics, like getting decent performances from his actors, writing dialogue that sounds like humans might actually say it so we care about what they're saying, and giving us a focused story that made sense.

You can have good movies with bad acting, you can have entertaining movies that have bad stories, you can have engrossing movies that have sub-par CGI effects, what you can't have is bad acting, bad writing and bad effects in one movie and expect people to like it, no matter how many people you get to give fake reviews and vote it a 9 on IMDb.

There are fan made films on Youtube that are free to watch and 100x more enjoyable than this piece of garbage.

This isn't budget or even micro budget filmmaking, it is amateur filmmaking, and not a very good example of it either.

Stay away, Do Not Watch This Movie.

I had great expectations from this flick. It was announced like a very good wolf movie. When I saw 8,8 rate on IMDb,my happiness was over the top. It took me 2 minutes to realize what piece of garbage is this. CGI, acting, directing, script everything is terrible. The worst movie I have watch for a long time. I keep asking my self who can give money for something like this. How can someone sign himself as a director and writer for something terrible as this. And acting, what can I say. It's not B movie it is Z movie category. So if you care about yourself and about your time, skip this insult to the movie and save your nerves and time.

This movie is by far the worst movie that I have ever had the disastrous pleasure of viewing. In fact, it was so bad I couldn't finish all of it. The rating that this movie has gotten could not have come from REAL people who actually "watched" the movie because no one in their right mind would rate this movie above a 1.

An example of how bad this movie is can be viewed in the make out scene that takes place by the railroad tracks. While they are in the back seat of the car you can clearly see the boom mike right behind the actor, and then watch as it follows him out of the car. How does this happen when there's not one but two editor's for the movie.

Another thing that really makes this movie terrible is the acting from not one, or even a couple of the star's but ALL of the actor's. While I am sure that the director was the reason for most of the utterly poor performances, I can honestly say that these kids can not act at all. Hence the reason you will have NEVER heard of any of them and after this movie bomb, will probably never hear from any of them again.

I don't normally write reviews, but when I noticed that this movie was given an 8.8 out of 10 with over 5,000 people voting, I couldn't keep to myself. In all honesty, the people who voted for this pile of steaming . . . Are better actor's than the people who were cast in the movie because in the beginning at least they were believable or I would not have even wasted my time on this twisted train wreck of a movie.

If you are sitting up one night and you have nothing to do, keep doing that because it's more entertaining than watching this movie. I wish IMDb had decimal points in their rating system because this movie doesn't even deserve the "1" that I Gave it. Oh well, time to go "ralph".
