Wonderfully offbeat film!

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Warning, this may contain spoilers.Much has been said already about the CGI (get over it, it's a budget SYFY movie) and the atrocious acting and monotonous delivery already, so I won't expand on it.Instead, I'll focus on these so-called experienced werewolf hunters, one of whom is supposedly also a top-notch FBI agent who "kicked the ass" of the best in the Academy.Seriously, I've seen better combat skills from 17-year-olds at airsoft games.There's nothing in the manner that any of the characters act that lends any credibility to the idea that they routinely hunt werewolves or (in the case of the two Feds in the story) even normal human fugitives.Being a werewolf movie, Willing Suspension of Disbelief is required to accept the premise that werewolves are real for the sake of the movie.That Willing Suspension of Disbelief should not have to extend to accepting that this pack of useless sods has somehow managed to survive multiple encounters with dangerous shape-shifting monsters, despite their obvious lack of any tactical or combat ability.If you're going to portray hardened/seasoned combat veterans, at least watch a few videos of real soldiers in action if you don't want to spend money on a proper adviser.The scene that finally consigned this to the scrap heap was when "Red" ran upstairs in the midst of the fight: A werewolf starts climbing into the room behind her, making enough noise to alert the most obtuse or inattentive person and yet this "kick-ass" Federal Agent and seasoned werewolf-hunter does not notice it.And for dealing with attacking packs, you'd think - given silver bullets are specifically mentioned as effective and they use them in their pistols - that the heavy armaments on their house would be belt-fed machine-guns (you actually see Red grab an ammo belt at one stage but it's never used in anything) rather than single-shot spear-guns.

This is obviously something that must have had a half-life on the Sci-Fi channel and it shows. There are these breaks where they obviously were supposed to put in the commercials. No nudity or profanity and pretty toned down violence. Skiffy all the way.So the plot is the descendants of Little Red all gather together at a house the same weekend the Werewolves decide to break the truce and start attacking people again.So poor quality CGI abounds.But I'll give the movie its props for some okay acting, tight story progression and a bad guy who looked like a real bad guy.worth a rental? Only out of a Red Box.

You can't compare B movies -- low budget, largely unheard-off actors, and simplistic scripts -- with mainstream movies. But as a grade B movie goes this one is pretty darn good. Way above the usual made-for- SyFy fare.As someone else said, the dialog is weak and Felicia Day's delivery is just plain flat. She really isn't a strong enough actress to lead the cast. The evolution of the romantic angle was predictable but there were enough plot twists to hold my interest. The sets and lighting were pretty good; the filmmakers resisted the temptation to build artificial suspense by shooting everything in perpetual darkness.Overall, a good fun B movie.

As Georgia Lass once said, "interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C equals A, or
whatever." And boy, should I have listened.So I watched SyFy's (sic!) Tin Man and Alice and thought, "well, those were {more than} a bit good, so this might also be alright..."WRONG. This... thing, for I dread to call it a film, is god (lower case 'g') bloody awful. It could've tried passing itself as a {bad} horror movie, it certainly had the body count for it (I can almost see some Whedon fan-boy (devoid, naturally, of anything resembling talent or imagination) writing this while drooling profusely), except it didn't. I'm not saying that EVERY movie should have blood and guts galore, but holy hell, THIS movie could've sure used some.Which brings me to the characters. No, sorry, the only reason why anyone might care for a few seconds about any of them is "hey, look, it's deputy Andy" or "hey, well that's the rev from Haven." (Yes, I know that this was before Haven). Speaking of the rev, he may have looked okay on Haven (but that's down to not having enough screen-time to really make himself look inept and having guys like Eric Balfour to compete with (my grandma could do a better job and she's been in the ground for nearly twenty years now)), but he's absolutely bland.And one final note to the writers: BACK-STORY. If you decide you want a werewolf that suddenly learns to wolf-out at will it might be useful to EXPLAIN just how that happened without resorting to motivational speeches seemingly written by a three year-old.. If you have dead parents/grandfather use them somehow to move the plot. If you have someone who can write... oh, never me mind, you don't.But I digress, this was, after all, probably thought of by an airhead who was reading Pelevin while sitting on the bog. Ugh.P.S. It's only suitable this thing was followed by Skinwalkers, a perfect night of the living brain-dead so to speak.
