Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
matt-n-ay OK, bad doesn't even begin to describe it. Rabidly horrible is more like it. But, if you're looking for a good MST3K flick, this is it. How could there possibly be a "spoiler" with this trash??? That's hilarious. The entire movie is a spoiler. Just when you think the werewolf can't get any goofier, it does. And, the dames! Wow, a pageant of bimbos for your viewing pleasure. How does a movie like this get made? Who even puts up $10 for the budget? Guess this is what coke and booze do to "producers" who produce nothing but red ink. Filmed with a home video camera, at best. Guess this filled the 10-line minimum for comments. Off to seek even worse material, if that's possible.
garyb04 This is one messed up movie and I have a few questions:1)How come Paul doesn't say what he's writing about when asked twice?? 2)How come Natalie and Yuri don't notice Paul turning into a werewolf while playing pool?? 3)How come Sam the Keeper doesn't CALL the police instead of praying for them? 4)How come no one doesn't notice or say anything about Yuri's hair changing each time?? 5)Why does the girl leave the jeep when she sees Paul coming towards her?? 6) Why does Paul crawl on the ground as he's going after the girl in the jeep instead of running??? 7)Why are those cars behind Paul as he's going after the girl in the jeep? What are they doing there?? 8)Why is the security guard still driving while he's a werewolf? Do werewolves suddenly know how to drive while they're transforming??? Where did the barrels come from that he crashed into?? And,why did he keep going passed the same gas station over and over??? I know it's just a movie,but they weren't making a comedy,were they? Judging from the writing,the directing,the acting;etc,you would think that's what they were going for,but,I don't think so..Lack of money? Perhaps.Lack of talent?? Could be..The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version I'm giving a 10,but the movie by itself,I'm giving a 2 and that's being generous...
AngryChair Arizona scientists uncover the skeleton of a werewolf (no joke) and when a man gets cut by the skull he- well, you can probably figure that much out.Very cheap werewolf flick filmed in southern California is enjoyable enough for those who can dig cheesy B horror films, but certainly not a movie to be taken seriously! Werewolf has a decent enough premise behind it but really suffers from a lack of budget and some super-lame dialog! Seriously, this movie has some of the most unintentionally funny dialog! The werewolf FX are pretty cheap, consisting of various B movie FX like puppet heads, wolf suits, and guys with increasingly hairy faces and plastic fangs. A completely uneven cast doesn't help matters either. Dig that native American theme music!Bad movie lovers might just enjoy it but there is no disguising the lameness of this cheapie . It made for a great episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000!* 1/2 out of ****
Hancock_the_Superb In Arizona, a bunch of strangely-accented scientists led by the psychopathic Yuri (George Rivero) comes across the skeleton of the Yamaglanchi (sic, who cares?), a Native American Werewolf. Yuri and his partner Noel (Richard Lynch) decide it would be fun to turn random people into werewolves, in hope that they might profit in. One of their victims is Paul (Federico Cavalli), a young writer who falls in love with research assistant Natalie Burke (Adrianna Miles). Also lurking around is Joe Estevez as a superstitious worker whose job is restricted to standing around looking frightened."Werewolf" is just plain bad. One of the most unintentionally funny movies of all time, it's about on the same level as an Ed Wood film or (God forbid) Manos: the Hands of Fate.Rather than do a comprehensive essay, I'll just list some stuff bitching about the movie's various shortcomings:What's with the accents? Granted, George Rivero is Mexican so I'll let him pass. But why are there so many Europeans running around Flagstaff? Are we supposed to think of them as Americans (it would appear so based on their surnames)? Sam the Keeper provided perhaps the funniest moments in the film, although I'm not sure why he felt compelled to tell Paul that "Count Dracula was a f*****", or where he got that information."Sleeping like a coyote, nose to anus." Thanks for sharing that...Worst werewolf make-up ever, or rather, not too bad in and of itself, but inconsistent. In some shots, he looks like a Lon Chaney Wolf Man, but in others, like an actual wolf. Can anyone say... CONTINUITY?The werewolves in this movie are totally lame. All of them except Paul die about five minutes after transforming. Tommy gets sucker-punched a few times by a security guard and later shot by Joe Estevez and his buddy with little more than a whimper. The security guard dies in a car wreck a few minutes after transforming. Paul gets the snot beat out of him by a random guy on the street, whom he chooses to engage in a martial arts contest rather than just gnawing on him. Kinda hard to be scared of monsters that can get their lunch handed to them by Joe Average (or Joe Estevez for that matter).I take back what I said before: the security guard lycanthropizing while driving his car was the funniest scene, not only in this movie, but in any movie ever. Did they REALLY think nobody would notice the full moon being in EVERY SCENE? Adrianna Miles' as the air-headed Natalie was too funny... "This is absolutely fascinating!" "You and Paul is in this for fame and fortune? But over my dead body!" To be fair, her biggest problem was probably her incomplete command of the English language. She reminds me of a much dumber version of one of my best friends in high school (who was herself a red-haired German, but also happened to be pretty smart).How did Natalie become a werewolf? Just a terrible film all around. Bad acting, bad accents, bad screenplay, lame werewolf. A very easy target for MST3K, and of their best efforts.1/10 for the movie, ten full stars for the MST3K lampooning.
