Don't listen to the negative reviews

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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.

I'll go out on a limb and give this one a 4. The MST3000 version raises the average. I had trouble following the wisecracks, and got more laughs reading the transcriptions on the message board afterwards.But I'll pitch the merits of the film itself. This is more deserving of a cinematography Oscar than some verite loop like Le Mepris. It's not as pretentious in portraying sounds and sights. Desert looks like desert, complete with the near-distant haze and stark whiteness. A party is like a party with unintelligible conversations. A bar-room is a bar-room, with authentic bad murals, noise and pool ball racking. No sentiment, no emotion. Just stuff, filmed flat as can be without filters, enhanced sound or expensive music. I like this effect in Ghost World and Stranger Than Paradise, and Arizona Werewolf has the same quality.Looping past the same gas station over and over. I like that. An open disclosure of the film's budget.I liked the werewolves, too. Everyone knows they're not real. This film gives you the unvarnished truth about werewolves. They're fake. Why hide the fact?

When I write one of these little reviews, there are certain words I try to avoid when describing a movie. Some words just don't seem appropriate. But when it comes to Werewolf, I'm going to break this rule. Werewolf has to be one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. While watching Werewolf, it's difficult to fathom that an upright walking human with opposable thumbs and an I.Q. above that of a water sprinkler could have made something so inept. Werewolf's plot is an absolute unadulterated mess. You could give cameras to a band of poo throwing monkeys and end up with a more coherent movie. The actors are given some of the most inane dialogue ever recorded. And it doesn't help matters that three of the main characters (Adrianna Miles being the worst offender) sound more like they need to be in an ESL class than shooting a movie. If Joe Estevez emoting like there's no tomorrow is the highlight of the movie, you know you're in deep trouble. In short, Werewolf is a disaster.But, as bad as Werewolf admittedly is, coming up with a rating has proved more difficult that I imagined. Much of the movie is so unintentionally hilarious that I was entertained despite the multitude of problems. Take the film's continuity (or lack thereof) as an example. Watching actor Jorge Rivero's hair go from almost black and slicked back to slightly graying with less of a greasy look to brown with blond highlights and a feathered appearance all in a matter of 15 minutes is too funny. Or take the scenes where the werewolf transforms from an actor in makeup to a stuffed animal being shaken at the camera to someone in a bear suit all within 45 seconds – it's laugh-out-loud, hold your sides so they don't split hysterical. But in the end, it's still a pathetic movie and a rating of 2/10 seems somehow generous.

This low budget werewolf film is amazingly less believable than the original Wolfman film, and of course is much worse. First of all, the special effects are really bad. The werewolf consists of a weird cat looking animatronic head that's mouth looked like it was cut open. The body was a guy in a suit so it looked like a weird cat bear. Everything from the film is stolen from every other werewolf film, especially the ending which is taken right out of the film "Wolf". Everything about this movie was cheesy, from the werewolf body to the wolf driving a car (is just stupid). The biggest star in the film is Martin Sheen's brother, and is this movie's only claim to fame. The only version of this that should be watched is Mystery Science Theater version.My rating: BOMB/****.

LOL, I just saw this movie from Mystery Science Theater 3000, well, actually it was the first episode I ever saw. But I didn't remember the movie since that was back in like 1999, but I just recently saw it again and I have to say that this movie was just an utter disaster waiting to happen. I feel awful for these siblings of Oscar winning actors, it seems like they get the crummy roles. So my sincere apologizes to Joe Estevez, it's bad enough your brother gets awesome roles, then your nephews as well? Poor Joe, let's take a moment for him while I try my best to describe this movie.OK, from what I gathered, a group of archaeologists dig up werewolf remains. Now a group of scientists take the remains, but not before one of the archaeologists gets a cut from the remains, and becomes a werewolf? So this guy, I think his name is Paul, starts to infect people wanting them to become werewolves while his hair style changes on a minutely basis. Then this girl, Natalie, would like to save him... and she ends up with a bad consequence with no explanation what so ever.This movie is just plain bad, believe me. I am so sorry that I had to see this film, but it was awesome watching it with Mystery Science Theater 3000, that's the only way that makes this film tolerable. I loved the scene with the couple's just making out and the girl gets out of the car while she sees a werewolf and runs out in the open, while her boyfriend just stays in the car. LOL, great MSTK3 episode, bad movie.1/10
