I have to admit that I was initially lured into watching the 2024 horror movie "Lord of Wolves" on account of it being a werewolf movie that I hadn't already seen, nor actually ever heard about. Sure, the movie was just the right amount of cheesy to make me stop and take notice. And with it being a movie that I had never heard about, I had literally no idea what I was in for. So I suppose Charlie Steeds had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me.
Writers Jerome Reygner-Kalfon, Sebastien Semon and Charlie Steeds put together a script and storyline that fell utterly short of entertaining me. Imagine my surprise when I found myself in for what could best be described as a dysfunctional family drama with director Charlie Steeds going to great lengths to put emphasis on the gay part of the storyline. Yeah, this movie was not really a werewolf movie. So don't get your hopes up.
The only familiar face on the cast list was actress Nicola Wright. Yeah, I've watched enough dubious low budget horror movies to be familiar with her. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair.
"Lord of Wolves" has some questionable special effects. The werewolves in the movie were nothing more than rather inarticulate rubber masks, that actually looked more like hyenas than wolves.
Do yourself a favor and give "Lord of Wolves" a wide berth. It just simply isn't worth the effort.
My rating of director Charlie Steeds's 2024 movie "Lord of Wolves" lands on a two out of ten stars.
