Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
vandino1 First try and find this film... a VIDEOTAPE TV movie from 1975. That's right: it wasn't even shot on film. But if you do find it (good luck), view this sorry thing with below-the-floor expectations and maybe, just maaaaaaybe you'll squeeze some entertainment out of it. Honestly, there's no need to bother trying. This is godawful nonsense that only rates a viewing for completists of the scintillating screen careers of Andrew Stevens. Michael Parks, and Tige Andrews. Andrews is listed as "Special Guest Star" which seems odd, until you realize by the end of the film that ol' Tige is barely on screen after the first few minutes. Dick Clark produced this sad spectacle and probably doesn't even recall it now (or would be willing to admit to it).Let's see, what have we got: an embarrassing $1.99 werewolf mask... an embarrassing $1.99 wool-knit beanie hat worn by Michael Parks... a $2.99 replica of the Woodstock Festival stage, and a quick shot of some garbage strewn about in a clearing beyond the stage that is so small that this must have been where the Hamster Woodstock was held, not the full-size festival... a dune buggy chase with a werewolf at the wheel ... and flower child Beckie (Belinda Belaski) who is so tuned into the frequency of her dead pooch named Virgo that she can "feel his pain is not over." But your own pain can end with a quick skip to the finish, or a tossing of this garbage in the nearest receptacle.Actually I make this sound better, in a supremely cheesy sense, than it truly is. Mostly it's tedious. Be warned. Woof!
Michael_Elliott Werewolf of Woodstock, The (1975) ** (out of 4) Campy made for TV horror film isn't as good as the title but if you enjoy "so bad it's good" type of films then you should get a couple laughs. A farmer is mad that 'dirty hippies' trashed up his property during the Woodstock festival but after being caught in an electrical storm, he turns into a werewolf and goes out looking for hippies. This is a pretty bad film from start to finish but it's campy enough to earn a few laughs along the way. All of the performances are bad but this adds some charm, especially the hippie girl who has "vibes" from her dead dog who was killed by the werewolf. The make up effects are even worse with what appears to be a left over mask from Planet of the Apes with added hair. The film also must contain the record for the number of times dude, cool and totally are said by the hippies. Produced by Dick Clark.
zog-3 The guy that produced this toiky (Dick Clark) shudda stayed wit' "America Bandstand. it was really really bad. it starred Tige Andrews of the Mod squad as the main charecter, an unbeliveably horribly negative anal rententive farmer, whose total negativity merges with the ions in the lightning bolt which hit him as he was wrecking the abandoned woodstock stage (today it would be a precious cultural landmark) to turn him into "the woodstock werewolf".<screams please!> the only thing positive about this "tele~play", which hasn't been shown on tv since 1976, was the werewolf make up, the farmer looked like one of those flamboyant woodstock hippies he hated so much.
Patchbunny In order to be "above-average", you must first establish "average". To establish "average", you must have a range of films of variable quality to set the scale. This, folks, firmly cements the lower end of the scale, easily identifying other werewolf films as "above average". Well, better than this one, at least.A man cleaning up a stage after woodstock is struck by lightning, with the consequence that, as per the ancient legends, he turns into a werewolf every night. Stalking the local populace, he terrorizes few, and after a car chase, is cornered at a refinery where he falls to his death. He may have been shot first - I don't remember for sure, and let's face it, by this point I wasn't paying much attention.
