AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Rainey Dawn It's basically about a Native American shapeshifter or spirit wolf who protects his area it's ironically from those destroying the environment and Native American habitat. It's the last Native American in the area that can destroy the werewolf.The acting is pretty good in this one. The CGI is OK - it's actually not bad. The story, is merely OK - it's not great but it's not all that bad either. I find this one somewhere in the middle. It's not too bad for a made for TV movie - hey at least they created a werewolf movie lol.If you like werewolf movies and have seen most of them already - I would say go ahead and watch this one to check off your I have seen this werewolf movie list.5/10
GL84 Returning to her hometown, a woman working on a pending legal matter with the local Indian group finds herself in the middle of a rampage by a supernatural creature that has a long history with the tribe and must race to stop it before the whole town is killed.This here was quite a fun and exciting Sci-Fi Channel offering. As to be expected here, this one really gets fun here with all of the attack and confrontations throughout here, which again comes with the long, involved action scenes and the quick, shorter ambushes which enable the plot to keep such a steady pace. The shorter ones are a lot of fun, from the ambushes on the litterer in the forest as the phantom attack sets up the failed barricade and eventual attack inside the trailer, while other fun shorter attacks include the ambush on her home as holding it off and finally getting away are quite fun and the trap at the police state gets some suspenseful stalking to go along with the great kill. Along with these, the film also manages to get a lot out of its longer scenes here, starting with the great fun of the awakening as it emerges from the ruins towards the group of works and chases them into the pit where it slaughters the crew, a really fine ambush in the woods where it stalks a group of hunters with little difficulty and the later mercenary team attack that features the final round of attacks and gun-play against the creature which gives this one some really enjoyable action. This one also works in the big finale as well with the creature having some fun with the guards before being taken out in a fine display of action that ends this one on a positive note. This one also manages to get some pretty good times here in the titular creature, not only in terms of its' wolf-like design and figure but also the absolutely fun back-story here that actually comes off rather intriguing by tying this into the Native American legends of vengeance which captures some interesting bits that give this a really interesting part of the film. Along with the bloody kills and gore throughout here, these here give this quite an enjoyable time here which is enough to hold out the few minor flaws. The main thing holding this one down is the lengthy and overlong opening, which tends to go a little too long in the reuniting part the past section of her returning back to town as meeting up with everyone as she settles in or shows the friends hanging out in a bar together. These are just a little too long to make much of an impression on the pace here. The other big flaw here is the per-usual CGI on display for the wolf, which is constantly way too blurry and out-of-focus to get much going here for what it's trying to show since this blocks out a lot of the detail that could've made it look a little better, along with all the usual problems here with the special differences, size changing and inability to connect with anything around. This is so expected that it's not nearly as detrimental as it should've been. Along with a few lame attacks in here that are too dark to see, these here are all that hold this one back.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
filmblogger82 I am an avid watcher of SyFy's original movies and always find myself laughing at the how poorly made the films are, so when I finished watching Monsterwolf on Saturday night, I have to admit that SyFy has stepped it up with this one! Sure, the CGI wolf was laughable at times, but overall the effects were pretty good, the cast was great, the script was fun, and some of the locations were beautiful. I hope to see more quality movies like this from SyFy as I was a little concerned about the future of the Saturday night premieres after some of the recent releases. The frustrating thing for me when I typically watch these movies is that it is pretty clear that they don't care if the movie looks good, don't care about the effects, don't care about the acting. It was nice to feel like SyFy actually cared about making a good movie! Haha.
thegene-2 This film gets a solid 9 for a MADE FOR TV movie. A quick rundown. The actors are very good. The movie theme is very good. The scenery and locations are very good. The filming is very good. The characters are very good. I probably should put an extra "very" in front of everyone of the previous descriptions as it is all that good.The movie keeps you interested from start to finish. There were only two minor problems that I found. For those that expect top level graphics, they will not be found here as it often is with many lower budget movies. However, it distracts very little from the movie as it is the characters and story that are the main focus. Though the special effects are far from great they are masterly handled to the point that it is a very minor thing. Don't get me wrong. The quality is not all that bad, but it is not Blockbuster movie level which it does not need to be. A more significant minor problem is that whoever wrote the story seems to have the belief that the even an average mind will not pick up on the fact that all these out of the ordinary things are happening but no one in the film seems to pick up on that fact that they are out of the ordinary.Of course I must say that I am very oriented to logic. While I can accept wild non fact based theories as being possible, once one steps into the realm of fairly unbelievable, my mind reacts negatively. In other words I can believe that intelligent life can exist elsewhere in the universe. However, I cannot believe any statement that says 90 percent of the people in the United States do not believe that Coke and Pepsi are soft drinks. The first statement about alien life seems very possible to me, the second does not. Of course this is just one man's opinion, so do watch this movie as it is very entertaining for SCI-FI fans.
