ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
TheManInOil Never mind how bad this movie is. I spent most of it trying to figure out where and when it's supposed to be set. The time is easier - seems to be late 1800s, with anachronistic elements. But as to where? No idea. The accents and place names, etc. seem to be completely all over the place. Given the diversity one might think it was the US but it's clearly meant to be someplace European (even though the wealthy locals speak with distinct American accents). Baffling movie.
jonnytheshirt This is certainly a watchable genre horror movie for wolfy fans. Nothing new here really and certainly been done before but it looks OK, passingly authentic with no notable major flaws I could place. Nothing really stands out with the exception of Stephen Rea in the cast a Golden Globe and Bafta nominee with an extensive acting career and resumé - he kind of adds a bit of gravitas to the scenes (you may have seen him last with vampires in underworld awakening although his resumé is quite something else). I think the makers certainly intended to make a good movie and its a decent enough watch, I was pleasantly surprised. Brain into neutral and enjoy some old fashioned movie watching.
kevsilverr2000 I am a big fan of this genre but was greatly disappointed with this movie. First of all the acting by every person in the film is high school level amateur at best. I didn't think the special effects were as bad as some of the other reviewers said (I've seen far worse) but there were a couple scenes where I almost started laughing (which I'm guessing is not the desired reaction the director was going for). There are two twists or surprises in the film, one of which is very predictable, the other just plain stupid and out of place. Yet another movie from Netflix that I took a chance on and find myself wanting my 90 minutes back. If you're stoned or drunk or just have no taste at all this is a good film to kill some time and get in a few laughs.
Supersaurus Judging by the title, I was expecting more Syfy channel toss.... How wrong I was.Though the pacing is a little slow in the first half, everything else really makes up for it. It's actually well acted with a good cast - including Stephen Rea; he's always fun (and for some reason seems to be in quite a few of these kind of films!). There isn't a huge amount of character development, but I don't suspect that's what people watch werewolf films for anyways, eh. The characters were interesting enough.The wolf itself has a very good design. Everything seems to be CGI nowadays so really I was expecting that (it was relatively well done too), but I was very pleasantly surprised by a fair few wolfie scenes using practical effects! ALWAYS better. Plenty of gore - without being over the top, lots of enjoyable action sequences (particularly during the second half), lets you have some 'whodunnit' guessing and with a nice twist near the end. All round, a really good were-movie! I'm sticking this one well in my Top 10 Werewolf Films list :)
