The greatest movie ever made..!

A Disappointing Continuation
RipDelight
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I have to wonder what movie some of these other reviewers watched.This story in this movie was terrible, actually confusing Bigfoot with werewolves. One bit of dialog for the purpose of exposition was a wooden little piece where a deputy tells the sheriff, (para-phrased) "Must be the beast of Bray Road. A monster in the 1800s wiped out everyone out there." "Is this true?" asks the sheriff."Oh, absolutely" confirms a nearby nurse. ROFL Its not quite funny bad, just bad and wooden.I have to admit that I didn't watch this entire movie. It chased me off soon after the wretched conversation just recounted. Save yourself and watch a Murder She Wrote rerun instead. LOL

This film is special. It's everything you could expect from a film shown on the SciFi CHannel, and more. This includes: Bad plot, bad acting, bad writing, and tons of nonsense. I'm talking REALLY stupid stuff. The aspect of this film that appeals to me is this: Every single stupid thing characters have done in bad horror flicks for the past fifty years is compressed into this film in this film. I'm talking a butt-load of clichés. I however like the fact that they don't wait till the end of the movie to show you the monster. It was cool when Spielberg did it in Jaws, but now every talentless director thinks it'll give his film suspense, but it's just irritating. This is a great film to watch with your friends and heckle the $#!+ out of. Worse than anything Uwe Boll could have created. Enjoy!

The Beast of Bray Road is set in Walworth County, Wisconsin & starts late one night as Kelly (Sarah Lieving), the owner of the imaginatively named bar Kelly's, closes up for the night. Potential lovers Billy (Tom Nagel) & Gretchin (Heather Conforto) have an argument & Gretchin drives off on her own, however her car breaks down a short time later & while stuck in the middle of nowhere she is attacked by a Werewolf like creature & brutally killed... It's not long before soon to be the new Sheriff Phil Jenkins (Jeff Denton) has found Gretchins abandoned car & starts to investigate, as he tries to find the whereabouts of Gretchin he is told of the local legends about the supposed 'Beast of Bray Road' which has apparently stalked the area for years. At first Jenkins is understandably sceptical but as the bodies start to pile up & a flood of 'Beast' sightings are reported he might have to rethink his position & break out the silver bullets...Apparently 'Based on a True Story' (according to the opening credits), edited, written & directed by Leigh Slawner I thought The Beast of Bray Road was a pretty decent little horror film, it's nothing spectacular but it's certainly watchable in it's own right. The script moves along at a fair pace & it's not overly boring or talky. The film keeps the Werewolf's identity a secret until the end & the actual revelation as to whom it is comes across as a neat little twist that isn't as obvious as it might have been. There are pleasing amounts of violence & there's some nice nudity as well. I thought the character's were a bit poor, lots of small town small minded bigot's who hate the police & get drunk all the time. Still, nothings perfect right? The Beast of Bray Road isn't the best horror film ever made but it's a pretty decent time-waster all the same & there aren't too many Werewolf films out there, let alone good ones. I'm not sure what else I can say about it, it's a perfectly watchable film & that's about all that need to be said really.Director Slawner does a pretty good job, the film looks quite good & isn't as cheap looking as a lot of low budget horror films. There isn't many scares & there's not much atmosphere either but there's some nice gore, there are crushed heads, split open heads, decapitated heads, someone has their leg torn off, there are various unfortunate people who have their intestines pulled out & eaten, there's a gory blood splattered skeleton, bodies ripped in half & there's a lot of blood splashed around which helps. There's some nudity as well. The special effects are good as well & there isn't a rubbishy cartoon CGI effect in sight, the Werewolf creature looks decent although we never see any sort of transformation scene & unlike a lot of Werewolf films whether it appears or not seems to have nothing to do with there being a full moon or not.Technically The Beast of Bray Road is fine & considering it's low budget shot on a digital camcorder type origins it's pretty good. The acting was also fairly good.The Beast of Bray Road is one of those films which is watchable, it isn't going to top anyones 'best film' list but it's a good Werewolf horror film with a decent amount of gore. You could do better for sure but you could also do a hell of a lot worse, worth a watch if nothing else.

Evisceration like the sound of it? There's plenty!There is a scene where the sheriff and 'crypto zoologist' are in the woods - 'listen - I don't hear anything - that's what I mean, no birds, no insects, something scared them off...' If you listen, you can hear birds above the obvious noise of traffic from a local highway.Too gory for the young, too campy for the intelligent.Sam Raimi beware - someone is trying to bump Evil Dead from the #1 campy horror slot.Light hearted fun, bad acting.
