Werewolf Rising

A werewolf movie, that is essentially all that is needed to draw my attention. And it was all that I needed to know when I found "Werewolf Rising" and picked it up to bring it home to watch.

It turned out that "Werewolf Rising" wasn't a particularly thrilling or enjoyable addition to the werewolf subgenre within the horror category. Why? Well, the movie was just lacking a proper script and storyline. And the fact that the storyline that was there was so simplistic that even a dead person could keep up to pace with the movie hardly helped it in any positive manner.

Director and writer BC Furtney hardly managed to put together a memorable or even enjoyable movie here. Still, I managed to endure this ordeal to the bitter end. But I must admit that I had my mobile phone in my hand and were perusing the social media frequently throughout the course of "Werewolf Rising", and I wasn't missing out on anything vital in the movie while doing that.

The special effects in the movie were subpar of mediocre, and that is giving them way too much credit actually. The werewolf looked like it had been ripped out of a 1980s horror movie, and it looked more like a werebat than it looked like a werewolf. That was just atrocious to bear witness to.

And the movie wasn't exactly loaded with grand movie stars. I have never heard of Melissa Carnell before, and I doubt that after "Werewolf Rising" hers is a name that I will bump into frequently and say "wasn't that the girl from that werewolf movie?" Now, I am familiar with Bill Oberst Jr. from movies produced by The Asylum - yeah, hardly a great track record. While I can't claim to enjoy his acting performances, I have to admit that it was just atrocious in this movie.

If you enjoy werewolf movies, then do yourself a solid and stay well clear of the 2014 "Werewolf Rising", because it is simply not worth the time, effort or money you'll waste on it.

If you are a good B movie fan, I do not have any complaints on this movie. The film is done in nice fashion - good camera focus, characters etc... Do not expect many things in this movie as this not a high budgeted Hollywood movie. The director has really done a great job for this movie and no complaints. The title of the movie puts your expectation very high but remember this is a 'B' movie fashion. I am surprised to see hot the movie makers managed in little budget. Last but not least - Don't forget to miss beautiful actress Irena Murphy full frontal nude scene (she has done for the first time).. I rate '7'for Irena's scene :)

Another movie that is strictly made to maximize profit. The actors are awful and obvious addicts. There is no scenery expenses, no actor expenses, just 3 basic people in the whole movie and not all at once.

• awful audio thats was sudden on or off no fade whatsoever - no plot/all over the place - very confusing - first scene actress nothing to do with the rest of the film - ending poorly explained - no build up or even time to relate to characters - why did everyone had to kneel all the time - theme was a poor attempt at a copy of Friday the 13th

Overall: a slap dash attempt of a horror film and i feel sorry for the actors and actresses who actually starred in this film apart from the lead actress who was about as convincing as a bag of salmon.

and if they are going to make a werewolf film make sure it looks like one and not like a bat costume. it makes me feel like they couldn't afford a wolf costume because they blew the budget on the renting the location.

anyway don't watch it get something better like Friday the 13th and let this monstrosity of a film collect dust in a bargin bin for all time.

I felt compelled to write a review seeing as how no one has provided a good one for this terrible B-Movie. Yes, it's terrible! So why am I giving it a good review? Because this is one of those B movies you can actually watch, laugh at, and be entertained. I believe if you go into a movie like this with the mindset of it's going to be awful, you can actually enjoy it. I think there was something compelling about the main actress who pours her heart into this role and actually does a great job contrasting against her counterparts which were just terrible and couldn't act at all. the werewolf was as goofy looking at they come and it made for a fun watch. I will end with this, if you liked Bunnyman you will probably like this. Don't get me wrong, Bunnyman is one of my favorite terrible B movies and this movie doesn't come close to that but it's essentially the same concept. Bad movie = Entertainment.
