SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
damittaja Yes, I call this movie great for a reason. It is so great because it is so horrendous. The acting is terrible, the special effects make your eyes bleed, the plot is absolutely stupid, the camera work is amateurish and apparently the characters in the movie can't see things that the camera cannot.I watched this movie with a group of few friends while slightly intoxicated and it was a truly fabulous experience. I was laughing half the time so hard that it was hard to watch due to the serious hurt in my stomach muscles. We had to pause the movie two times due to one of my friends starting to hyperventilate on the floor because he could not stop laughing.Why is the movie so funny? They've tried to make a serious horror movie with a *slight* nudity twist but they've failed miserably in almost everything. We could not stop laughing when we imagined how the actors and other people involved in the production of the movie must have tried to do their best and this was the result.This movie works fabulously when watched in a relaxed atmosphere with friends. Preferably in a guys only event. Don't let the critique stop you - the movie is horrible but that makes it worth watching with friends.
Eric-d-hendricks1 Its so bad i have to post a warning to all people to not watch it. Not even tolerable for a cheesy b movie. How no talent hacks get a chance to make a movie is beyond me.. Please go back to film school and try again or find a new career path CZ the writers and director failed miserably the most popular subject matter this decade... Should be ashamed to call yourselves movie makers. The viewer should not get angry and annoyed when watching the film. I want to write a letter to Cinemax for listing a description that made this film sound entertaining.. Come on people, you all can do much better than this. At least put in a valid effort and don't half way make a movie.
Woodyanders A vicious werewolf (stuntman Rick McCallum in a nifty fur suit) stalks the streets of Los Angeles in search of sweet and unsuspecting part-time waitress Josie (a strong and sympathetic performance by the fetching Samaire Armstrong) so he can mate with her and bring about the end of mankind. It's up to determined, no-nonsense detective Steve Turley (well played Ryan Alosio) to protect Josie from this savage beast. Director Richard Friedman, working from a trashy and eventful script by Geoffrey Alan Holliday, keeps the pace hurtling along at a constant breakneck clip, wrings a good deal of pulse-pounding tension from the absorbing premise, and stages the plentiful action with considerable brio. Better still, Friedman delivers both a generous sprinkling of nasty gore and a pleasing abundance of tasty female nudity (a lesbian rooftop modeling session involving two gorgeous naked babes rates as the definite erotic highlight). This film further benefits from solid acting from an attractive and appealing cast: Armstrong and Alosio make for excellent and engaging leads, the ever-imposing Kane Hodder cuts a suitably intimidating figure as the human biker guy incarnation of the werewolf, Tippi Hedren has a nice, although small role as wise homeless woman Mary, plus there's fine supporting turns by Andrea Bogart as the sassy Stacey, Jaime Bergman as Turley's feisty partner McGowan, Alexis Cruz as prissy make-up artist Miguel, Aaron Van Wagner as Josie's jealous, insecure boyfriend Tom, Sasha Williams as luscious model Anna, and Beau Clark as hip punk photographer Wayne. The werewolf design is impressively fierce and fearsome. Stuart Asbjornsen's agile cinematography gives the movie a cool glossy look. Geoff Levin's throbbing score does the shuddery trick. Only the shoddy CGI effects fail to earn a passing grade. Overall, this flick sizes up as perfectly entertaining and undemanding Grade B junk.
rburson Another in a long line of flicks made by people who think that knowing how to operate a camera is the same as telling a story. Within 15 minutes, the entire premise is laid out in just a few lines, so there is absolutely no mystery, which eliminates a whole facet of the suspense. The only half-way competent actor is killed 10 minutes into the film, so we're left with stupid characters running around doing stupid things. Low budget films can't afford expensive special effects, so the CGI portions are unsurprisingly unimpressive, but were at least a valid attempt. The creature suit is terrible, as seen when it falls to the sidewalk, and the director keeps emphasizing the eyes, which aren't even the red color shown in mirror shots. The dialogue is clumsy and uninspired, with some lines reminiscent of Aliens or Terminator. The last action sequence takes place in a police station, also a rip-off from Terminator, with everyone hiding in the one glass lined office that the Darkwolf doesn't smash into. In the end, the girl calls the hero "a good Protector", but he gets both his partners, the original Protector, and at least three other civilians, not to mention a dozen cops, all killed without getting a decent shot off, in spite of an arsenal of silver bullets and a submachine gun. But here's the real clincher for bad writing: They could have killed the beast right after the beginning credits when it was holding the stripper while flashing its red eyes. Instead, they took it into custody?!?
