Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Rainey Dawn This one surprised me - it's much better than I was ever expecting it to be. It's a comedy horror. Some of the comedy had me laughing out loud or giggling to myself. It's cute as far as the comedy aspect goes. As far as the horror - it's good. Pretty creepy at times yet still funny.The beginning is very much like your stereo-typical 1970s or 80s slasher films - 2 jocks, their snotty girlfriends, a geek and a tough but smart girl - all out in a cabin in the woods. The rest of the film becomes a little more a like Silver Bullet in a way... trying to prove if the werewolf is real, who the werewolf is if real and how to get rid of him.This one I had quite a bit of fun watching.7/10

Wuchak "Big Bad Wolf" (2006) indeed ranks with the best werewolf flicks. I wasn't so sure during the first half hour, which involves a group of college teens going out to a desolate cabin to party. The bulk of the group are unlikable frat trash and the film goes over-the-top with the gore, nudity and naughtiness as a werewolf attacks. There's also a semi-campy vibe that prevents the viewer from taking the material seriously; as such, it's thrilling, but not really scary.Like other viewers, I was surprised to see the cabin angle of the story end by the close of the first act. The typical horror flick would use this for the entire plot. I was like, "Where are they going to go from here?" Well, the two survivors start to suspect who the werewolf may be and join-up with someone else to end the werewolf's reign of terror.Despite the above negatives, everything comes together for an excellent werewolf flick. It all makes sense if you stick with it. For instance, why are Derek, the nerd, and Sam, the mechanic biyatch, the only two survivors of the original group? Sam comes off too-gruff at first, and it's a turn-off, but then it becomes clear that she was just able to see through the fakeness and superficiality of the frat trash and refused to take their sheet. Derek's the likable protagonist who's uncertain, but rises to the challenge when necessary. I found myself caring about these two and their potential relationship as the story progressed.After the first act, the movie becomes reminiscent of "Fright Night" in that it involves two teens -- a male and a female -- who suspect someone in the neighborhood of being a monster and hooking up with an older individual to take down the creature. Whereas "Big Bad Wolf" shares similarities to "Fright Night", 2008's "Never Cry Werewolf" wholesalely rips it off, just substituting a werewolf for a vampire (still, it's a really good werewolf flick).What impressed me with "Fright Night" was the hideousness and wickedness of the vampire; "Big Bad Wolf" does the same thing with the werewolf, but ups the ante. More than that, the werewolf retains the intelligence of the man to a large degree and can talk, which is an interesting addition to werewolf lore. It also makes the creature more interesting. Even more, they give dimension to the man who's infected by the werewolf curse. Later in the story it becomes clear that he WAS trying to keep himself from harming people when the full moon came. Yet this is contrasted by his basking in the curse whenever he becomes the werewolf. Good writing and attention to detail like this propels "Big Bad Wolf" to the head of the pack.There's a rockin' soundtrack and an an excellent number that plays during the end credits, "Shelter" by Green Vinyl Dream.I should stress that this is a hard R-rated film with some very crude moments, mainly because the werewolf is thoroughly evil and some of the youths are frat trash, but if you can look beneath its gruff exterior it's got a good heart and is a worthwhile experience.The film was shot in Semi Valley and Los Angeles, California, and runs 95 minutes.GRADE: A

pattonfever I bought this film on DVD the day it came out. I used to work at Circuit City, and there wasn't much else out that Tuesday. The first time I watched the film I didn't think the film was better than average. I couldn't get past the fact that the werewolf talked. Not only does he talk, but he makes wise cracks in the same vein as the later versions of Freddy. He also rapes people while in werewolf form. Not that I'm anti rape in movies. It's just I've never seen a werewolf do it. The costume was cool though, and it was cool that he stands on 2 feet. I can't stand werewolves (aside from An American Werewolf in London)that are on all four, or when they just turn into a wolf. I decided to eventually give it another chance. I liked it a lot better going into it knowing the werewolf talks. Now I watch it every October, and just love it. What was I thinking. How can you not love a wise cracking werewolf that rapes all of his sons friends. It's soooooooooooo funny! A little part of me still wishes they would have played it straight though. Only because we don't get many werewolf movies, and when we do it's all cg 4 leg crap. See this movie if your any kind of horror fan. AND MAKE MORE STAND ON 2 LEGS WEREWOLF MOVIES WITH OUT CG!

Mercer99 I usually rave about crappy movies in my reviews, but this one disturbed me more than most others. Not because of the violence, which was as over the top as one might expect, but because of the implication that sexual violence against women is somehow humorous. Unlike other horror movies with a high boob and body count, the writer of this movie (Lance W. Dreesen) never misses an opportunity to completely degrade and dehumanize the female characters. A disturbing, repeated theme is how sexual violence perpetrated against women is mocked by a "joke" from the werewolf character. For instance, one of the throwaway sorority girls in the opening sequence is revealed to be a virgin; this seemingly unnecessary plot thread is brought to fruition after she is raped by the werewolf before her throat is ripped out during the rape. After this despicable act, the werewolf taunts her boyfriend about the rape, remarking, "she ain't a virgin anymore!" Another example: the lead female character, Sam, is revealed to be in love with the lead male character Derek. This seemingly innocent plot thread is exploited when she is forced to perform oral sex on Derek's evil step-dad. Of course, evil step-dad tells Derek all about it and remarks, "you ain't tapped that yet?" Don't let my description of these acts of sexual violence make you think that the acts are graphically depicted. For the most part, the sex is implied rather than revealed, but the characters discuss sex in a graphic way. I suppose it's all meant to reveal the main point of the movie, namely answering the question: "what would happen if an evil s.o.b. was a werewolf?" This movie certainly answers that question again and again, probably well beyond most viewers' willingness to watch it all.In summation, there's so much ugliness in this movie that it's hard to find a bright spot. The concept of a talking, taunting werewolf is interesting, but I would have liked to see it utilized in a manner different from that described above. Kimberly J. Brown is really excellent as Sam and Trevor Duke does a good job as wimpy Derek. Richard Tyson does his best Jack Nicholson impersonation as Mitchell Toblat ("Talbot" spelled backwards), which really isn't much of a complement. I really hope that "Big, Bad Wolf" is the first and last movie made with this cast of characters. I dread seeing what writer Lance W. Dreesen could come up with to try to top the sexual violence and hatred present in this movie.
