Konterr Brilliant and touching

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

lojitsu A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Night Wolf" (R - 2010 - UK)Sub-Genre: Monster/WerewolfMy Score: 5.9Cast=6 Acting=6 Plot=5 Ending=7 Story=7 Scare=4 Jump=5 F/X=6 Monster=7 Transform=6As a storm rages outside, a group shores up for the night...cut off from the outside world. Something comes out of the driving rain and darkness. Something that holds a dark secret so devastating that in one night, it could wipe out the entire family. 'A deadly secret is coming home', reads the tagline to this run of the mill werewolf movie. The movie wasn't bad...basic story with no twists, decent gore, nice images...blah blah blah. The key to a great werewolf movie if in the transformation. The thing is, I don't remember a lot about it...that means it was pretty basic. So it's not a bad watch if you like anything that howls at the full moon.

Leofwine_draca 13HRS is a low budget British werewolf film dressed up as an obscure teen horror. It's also one of the worst-written films I've watched in a while, with a storyline consisting entirely of a group of annoying teen characters trapped in a clichéd creepy old house with a werewolf on the loose, running around and killing them one by one. There are twists of sorts here in a bid to enliven the narrative but the combination of lacklustre writing and poor direction help to sink it from the start.It's also an irritatingly noisy film in which the werewolf attack scenes are a jumble of loud effects and disjointed editing. The director also has STRIPPERS VS. WEREWOLVES on his resume so you can see where he's going with that. The characterisation is nil, the dialogue is lowbrow and the actors unlikeable. The main draws are Gemma Atkinson (in a low cut top, naturally) and Tom Felton, who's barely in it. Sadly, this was the last feature for the late, great Simon MacCorkindale, who has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo right at the outset.

Argemaluco Among the classic monsters from fantastic cinema, my favorite ones are undoubtedly the werewolves. It might be due to my affinity with canids; or maybe because of the interesting moral conflict lying in the center of the character, who can be a moral and decent person for most of the time, until the curse becomes him a violent beast impulsed by its animal instincts. And even though I'm interested in watching every movie from this sub-genre, it has been a little scarce since the vampires and zombies became fashionable. So, I was quite interested in watching Night Wolf; it didn't only promise lupine action, but also, its British manufacture suggested the potential of being another European film of a superior quality to its Hollywood counterparts. Unfortunately, the film ended up being pathetic.My mistake might have been to expect an intelligent werewolves film such as Dog Soldiers and Ginger Snaps; needless to say that Night Wolf had much more modest ambitions. The characters are completely stupid and antipathetic. The cinematography is too confusing; some of the scenes are so dark that it's difficult to notice what's going on. As for the actors, they did whatever they could with their poorly written characters.In conclusion, Night Wolf is a deplorable horror film, and a waste of time. This film disappointed me pretty much, specially considering the many excellent British horror films we have been seeing in the last 10 years (such as Evil Aliens, Wake Wood and the previously mentioned Dog Soldiers).

alistairc_2000 I have to say I rather enjoyed this movie. Everyone else who has reviewed this movie seems to have a downer on it or thinks that it is a noble failure but perhaps they have not sat through the beast must die. Which is another great movie about something evil in the night. I like horror movies a lot and have watched many over my life. Plot A débutante (played by an actress who was or is a débutante) comes home. She has been away and when she gets back she finds that not all is well in the family home. Daddy has been foolish with money and mummy seems to be having an affair. There is some banter where all the characters are introduced. They are all hackneyed characters but come one this is a horror movie. They are fodder to be sacrificed to the monster from hell. Then something comes into the grandiose house and starts killing them one by one. I thought that this was a great take on the genre. It tries to have a twist in the tale but for any serious aficionado you will have guessed it by about half way through. Its well made and the actors can act. The evil is correctly personified but is slightly underwhelming when you actually see it. What I thought was so original or in keeping with the most original movies dealing with the sense of pervading evil is that once you are in its grasp you lose all control of yourself.
