Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Michael O'Keefe An uncontrollable situation causing panic all over Manhattan. The Lupine Virus spreads rapidly, turning innocent New Yorkers into ravenous werewolves. Not just one werewolf running amok, but an epidemic of werewolves killing people from the get go. Will the military have a real cure or just enough manpower to put up a good fight? Plenty of action, explosions, fight scenes, vicious attacks and angry violence. A monstrous virus that keeps spreading out of control. These werewolves can shift back to human form and back to killer quicker than a containment plan can be improvised. A "B" movie with bite! CGI is not perfect, but lots of fun to watch.The cast includes: Dennis Haysbert, Ernie Hudson, Kate Vernon, Bill Duke, Arianna Richards, Craig Sheffer, Darin Cooper and Wes Studi.
trashgang This is one of the better Asylum productions. The cast is to say above mediocre. You will see a lot of known faces from flicks from the eighties early nineties. So on that part it's okay. This story itself is a rip-off of the Sharknado franchise which is easy to explain because those people are involved.But normally Asylum flicks aren't worth seeing for effects or horror but here the effects are rather okay. It's easy to spot that it's mediocre CGI but there's blood attached and the bites are looking nasty. So okay, for the horror geeks. And the attack on New York looked also believable. So for a normal flick it isn't top notch but for an Asylum flick it is, worth picking up if you are into laughable and over the top horror done on a bad way.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
GL84 After being bitten by a wolf and given a curse that will turn her into a ravenous werewolf, a woman sides with a sympathetic Army major and a scientist friend to find a cure for the disease before a rogue general uses the creatures as a weapon for the US military.This was a pretty surprising entry that had some pretty enjoyable aspects to it that makes it far better than expected. One of the best elements here is the film's use of real animatronics and puppets for the werewolves that lend the creatures a sense of realism that far off-sets the utterly atrocious CGI which also pops up, but the fact that a lot of it is with the on-set effects makes it more enjoyable. The relentless action allows for plenty of high-energy scenes, including the creatures running loose in a crowded airport with the turned victims rising up as new werewolves to join in the fray as well as a big battle with the military on the streets of New York that has a lot to like. Throw that in with some nice gore and a pretty involving storyline that never really gets convoluted, it's got a lot to like that really makes up for the film's few flaws in it's CGI and pretty bland beginning that never fits in with the rest of the action, causing it to take a while to get going. Otherwise, this was quite fun.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
mchalup Battledogs is your standard Saturday Night SyFy New Release, Made for TV fare. Plot development/acting average to above average for this category of film. Ditto for silly (i.e, you laugh when it's supposed to be highly dramatic or bad gore)content.What did impress me is that SyFy was willing to spend some more money on production. All locations were not shot in Vancouver/British Columbia, trying to pass itself off as one of innumerable cities/areas in the US. The 'Ward Island' scenes were filmed in Buffalo's abandoned (but now being restored) train station. A car wreck scene actually included wrecking vehicles. The identifiable New York City location were mostly all stock shots with CGI additions. However, there was one scene that really appeared to be filmed in front of the New York Stock Exchange.Bravo to SyFy for willing to up the quality of their productions.
