LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

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."

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.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fella_shibby Sometimes u do get tempted by the DVD cover n the fake inverted commas reviews on it. Take examples of The Vanguard, Dark Wolf, Blooded, etc. Sometimes they mislead us by posters of famous actors who appear for jus a cameo. Sometimes they jus write, from the director followed by some name which u later come to know that he is a nobody. I saw this on a pirated DVD for 50 rupees in 2008. The plot, i know who cares for an ultra micro budget trash. The film opens in a topless strip club. We see lots of boobs. A biker causes a ruckus, the police come to arrest him. He's handcuffed, and thrown into the back of the wagon. He turns in a werewolf, eats a policeman, and escapes.... The transformations are quite possibly the worst ever seen in a werewolf movie n the bad gorilla costume, the less said the better. It has everything bad. Atrocious editing, bad acting, awful direction. Sometimes i feel movies like these r purposely made jus to show expenses or losses to the income tax department. Or maybe the makers jus get the sadistic pleasure by making us see their trash.

suite92 Hartigan and a plainclothesman apprehend a suspect and load him into a paddy wagon to get him to jail. That does not work well. Both policemen are killed. Hartigan's partner Steve gets a new partner, McGowan, who gets ravaged soon after by the same suspect.While investigating near the pub where the murders occurred, Steve meets the old lady Mary, and the waitress Josie. Mary tells Steve about the DarkWolf and about the DarkWolf's designated mate. So, Josie is the mate that DarkWolf is looking for, and she will be going through some changes that very night.Soon after DarkWolf wounds McGowan, he wounds Mary mortally. Before she dies, she tells Steve that he needs to read this giant book that she has with her. When the ambulance arrives, Steve forgets the book and attends to McGowan. One of the dancers, Stacey, snags the book and takes it to a photo shoot. Josie was to be at the shoot. While waiting for her, Stacey shows the book to the makeup guy Miguel and photographer, Tom. There are lots of illustrations. They paint Stacey and Anna (full body) in the style of the book, and start taking photos of the two models as they dance.The book, of course, should have been in Steve's hands to study, so that he could help Josie through the troubles she was about to experience. Instead we get a lot footage of gratuitous painted naked ladies.The DarkWolf is also attracted to the book, so the people at the photo shoot are in danger as well.Will Josie make it through the transformations? Will the DarkWolf attain his goal? ----Scores-----Cinematography: 2/10 Some very bad SFX. Odd camera angles, sudden switches to closeups of very bad werewolf masks, some shaky camera. The SFX of the DarkWolf in four-footed mode are particularly poor.Sound: 4/10 The actors are often poorly miked; the voices are often hollow or over-driven. In some segments, the music is looped with an overlay of moans, gasps, and groans. One might as well be watching and adult film.Acting: 2/10 The two leads, Samaire Armstrong and Ryan Alosio, are particularly poor at delivering lines. When Samaire Armstrong tries to sound authoritative and commanding, she sounds screechy and ineffective instead. It was nice to see Tippi Hedren again, but her role was rather abbreviated.Screenplay: 2/10 Awkward dialog. Strange story told in an odd, unconvincing way. Lots of gratuitous skin that has little to do with the main plot lines. Way too many poor werewolf jokes.

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.

karen-sherlock Firstly I think I ought to say that I watched 2 films back-to-back. Lycan and DarkWolf.The only comment I'll make about Lycan is big monkeys and The Backstreet Boys. Those of you who have seen it will know what I mean. Avoid at all costs! As for DarkWolf I quite enjoyed it, and I know I'm among the minority on this. It has a decent storyline, it's pacey a little bit spooky at times, and there is some serious sexy stuff in it which many will enjoy. All that a horror film should be, apart from one major thing. The CGI transformations. It's a real shame that the producers chose to do this, they would have done so much better making the transformations rawer, I personally think it would have made the film so, so much better.Aside from that I'll give it a thumbs-up. The 6 rating is because of the CGI effects. With something different and with more thought given I probably would have rated it higher.Give it a watch, you might find you're one of the minority too!
