Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
JoeB131 This is obviously something that must have had a half-life on the Sci-Fi channel and it shows. There are these breaks where they obviously were supposed to put in the commercials. No nudity or profanity and pretty toned down violence. Skiffy all the way.So the plot is the descendants of Little Red all gather together at a house the same weekend the Werewolves decide to break the truce and start attacking people again.So poor quality CGI abounds.But I'll give the movie its props for some okay acting, tight story progression and a bad guy who looked like a real bad guy.worth a rental? Only out of a Red Box.
evmill As Georgia Lass once said, "interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C equals A, or… whatever." And boy, should I have listened.So I watched SyFy's (sic!) Tin Man and Alice and thought, "well, those were {more than} a bit good, so this might also be alright..."WRONG. This... thing, for I dread to call it a film, is god (lower case 'g') bloody awful. It could've tried passing itself as a {bad} horror movie, it certainly had the body count for it (I can almost see some Whedon fan-boy (devoid, naturally, of anything resembling talent or imagination) writing this while drooling profusely), except it didn't. I'm not saying that EVERY movie should have blood and guts galore, but holy hell, THIS movie could've sure used some.Which brings me to the characters. No, sorry, the only reason why anyone might care for a few seconds about any of them is "hey, look, it's deputy Andy" or "hey, well that's the rev from Haven." (Yes, I know that this was before Haven). Speaking of the rev, he may have looked okay on Haven (but that's down to not having enough screen-time to really make himself look inept and having guys like Eric Balfour to compete with (my grandma could do a better job and she's been in the ground for nearly twenty years now)), but he's absolutely bland.And one final note to the writers: BACK-STORY. If you decide you want a werewolf that suddenly learns to wolf-out at will it might be useful to EXPLAIN just how that happened without resorting to motivational speeches seemingly written by a three year-old.. If you have dead parents/grandfather use them somehow to move the plot. If you have someone who can write... oh, never me mind, you don't.But I digress, this was, after all, probably thought of by an airhead who was reading Pelevin while sitting on the bog. Ugh.P.S. It's only suitable this thing was followed by Skinwalkers, a perfect night of the living brain-dead so to speak.
givememoneyimahobo I am not a fan of horror movies: the plots are usually captivating but I don't get thrills from watching zombies/murderers/werewolves jump out at me. However, that was not the issue here, the movie was far from anything scary, the werewolves looked comical if anything. The major issues were the plot, the characters, and the acting.I'll admit, I only watched this movie because of Felicia Day, but had I known the plot ahead of time I would have never gotten myself into this mess. Low budget is little excuse for such a cheap plot (we could easily guess the whole Nathan plot line from the start). The characters were dull, all completely unchanging, talking in monotone (like someone said above). There was no action/plot/horror the first 50 minutes, they might as well have been cut out. In fact all that did was make us sick of the same setting/camera angles being used over and over again. No sense of humor, plot holes/irrational actions by the characters, the list could go on forever. The short fight scenes with Felicia were somewhat fun to watch but very choppy nonetheless.Plot: 2/10. Characters: 3/10. Setting: 2/10. Acting: 3/10. Action: 4/10.
rwk2 Killed a little slice of a pleasant Saturday afternoon watching this. I read the other reviews and decided to get the DVD for kicks. Not bad. Actually, considering some of the complete flops put out on SyFy this was amazingly good. There was no bad plot twist, nothing to make it out more than what it was: good guys vs. bad guys. The bad guys, led by Stephen McHattie, are a new breed of werewolf able to shift forms at will. They're sick of a long standing truce with a family of hunters and set out to change things, making the earth theirs to roam free once more. "Red" (a name of honor given to the first female hunter of each generation) brings home her new FBI fiancée to meet the fam and give him the lowdown on her particular family tree. And trouble ensues.This is either a decent made-for-TV-movie, or as I thought watching it, a freakin' GREAT video game. And the CGI of the wolves made the second pretty easy to believe. I'll throw in there the last 60 seconds or so of this film were theatre worthy.Like I said, fun for a bit on the weekend.
