The worst werewolf movie EVER?

I saw it at the weekend there, and it was TERRIBLE. Forget worst werewolf flick, worst movie. Actually forget werewolf as well, more like pig/dog. I think it must've been one of the directors of something wearing an old brown rug, with a badly made plastic puppet on his arms. And the end of it. Pfft, when they all walk off into the sun set. Half the cinema burst out laughing. Does anybody agree?

That's a bit harsh seeing how the budget was so low.
And as for worst film ever i think you are forgetting "alone in the dark"

[–] HellKitsune 18 years ago

Hehe, never seen Alone in the Dark...

But come on! Dog Soldiers had a super low budget as well, and the werewolves in that were awesome! Also, the acting was of better calibre...

Someone said the budjet was 1 million, doesn't seem so low considering the quality. Did they spend more money trying to make it look cheap?

[–] fuzzity_fuzzball 18 years ago

was martin compston any good in it?? i happen to know he's a great actor(see sweet sixteen)

[–] DropKick_x 18 years ago

Yeh Martin was really good in it, no one else could act at all. I thought the film was hilarious.

Thanks for the spoiler warning you jerkoff.

[–] NukedaFridge 18 years ago

who gives a damn about a spoiler? the movie was totally balls don't spend any money on it man, 1 million pounds they spent, the actors got paid veery little and martin compston was also extremely bad even though some guys here think he's biz. HE SUCKS. he doesn't act he just says his lines and thats it. Balls movie. balls ending. balls acting. they walk off to the sunset because the main girls became a crazy pig beast too, it would have been better to close you're eyes and pretended a different ending, featuring transformers or aliens or something better than this load of.....you get the idea.

spoiler warning.

This was bad, but comes nowhere near the crappiest werewolf flick of all,
howling 7. Now that maybe the worst film of all time

[–] dudius399 17 years ago

Wow... there were 7??????

[–] Chris_Banzai 17 years ago

It's a toss-up between that Howling 7 the '96 film "Werewolf" with Richard Lynch.

After seeing both of those, any other movie seems Oscar-worthy by comparison.

[–] hartboy100 17 years ago

No, obviously you've never seen Mexican Werewolf in Texas.

[–] negativec07 17 years ago

Or Cursed, or An American Werewolf in Paris

[–] rjbiggs1 13 years ago

definitely the worst werewolf movie ever made. between the indecipherable
scottish accents,horrible acting and laughable special effects this was
a freaking train wreck.the creature looked like a wild boar on steroids.
certainly not a werewolf. peter capaldi has fallen a long way since
"local hero".

[–] Clifford_Starfox 16 years ago

ARE YOU KIDDING????
Compared to other recent Werewolf movies, this was a breath of fresh air and quite unique.
(Hint: watch Cursed).
And as for worst movie; exactly HOW MANY movies HAVE you watched?
Considering the budget this was well done.

Oh and I did laugh at the ending. And why? Because for once, the Werewolves WIN, instead of being destroyed.
This movie broke convention, which is something genre movies desperately need to do if they want to stay interesting.

What happened at the end?

[–] hannibalmcnee 15 years ago

It was... in a word... appalling.

Dreadful editing, awful special effects (seriously, why bother showing the monster if you can't afford one?), dreadful script, poor pacing, bad framing and dialogue (and, I'd wager, direction) so bad that even fantastically talented actors like Peter Capaldi and Martin Compston came off like bargain basement River City rejects.

Added to which it was cliched to high heaven and, for horror fans, there was a distinct lack of blood, scares or boobs.

Lame.

[–] YanderePrime 15 years ago

Well, you have to admit, it was worth a chuckle to see the werewolves walk off into the sunset at the end of the movie.

Seriously, the 7 seconds that you see a CGI werewolf running after one of the bad actors in the movie looked better than the animatronic werewolf. That's saying something for a low budget movie.

If you think you've seen bad werewolf films, see Pleniluno. You will be left speechless. My friend and I have seen some BAD horror films, but this redefined the concept even for our jaded selves.
I would like to see Wild Country because I just like werewolf films.

[–] speculator-1 15 years ago

Pleniluno?

You mean this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200963/ ??

[–] GiantPlum 14 years ago

Yes, that's it. It's "Plenilunio"...my "I" key was sticking, sorry!
Although to be fair, Ricardo Islas made it on a small budget and it has its decent moments..still, the werewolf resembles a really hungry and irate cottonball (or looks flocked, like a Christmas tree) and the ridiculousness of that just overrides the better moments, at least on your first viewing.
Cold-Blooded from Sonny Fernandez also has some funny looking beasts--they look more like were-kangaroos or stuffed toys come to malevolent life at times.
Still, I really like the fact that these two guys went out and made movies on such a small budget and with such love for the horor genre, more than a lot of us would have the DIY chutzpah to do. I have had fun watching their films, and not just in an MST32K type way but as someone who's loved "monster movies" all my life.
One thing I'm really sick of in bigger budget movies is the Bobblehead Werewolf syndrome, where they have this gigantic (and none too convincing) head that looks like a stuffed lion's, on top of a human-sized body...Beast of Bray Road and The Feeding come to mind.

[–] mistyfoxy 15 years ago

I agree. This werewolf film, although flawed, was quite unique and entertaining and far better than some the crap out there. I enjoyed the genre busting too. It's always nice to see a werewolf get a break, even one that looks like a pig, rather than the usual inevitable silver bullet/silver nitrate injection/silver whatever etc etc

We can't stop here. This is bat country.

[–] mistyfoxy 15 years ago

I agree the werewolf looked kinda porcine, but that aside I kinda liked this werewolf flick. Even though I saw what was coming a mile off, I was still entertained watching exactly how it would play out. Of course I'm a sucker for movies with Scottish people in them generally.

And plenty of werewolf movies have a comedic element and the ending of this was priceless.

It's not exactly American Werewolf in London, or Dog Soldiers, or The Howling, bit I liked this and there's plenty worse werewolf films out there..

I didn't think it was THAT bad. Uwe Boll's "movies" still seem pretty awful in comparison. In the defense of Wild Country, it was pretty hilarious & entertaining.

I can't personally understand how people don't understand the thick Scottish accents though... It's really not too hard. Just pay attention!

The werewolf family in the sunset at the end was... Cute! I adore the fact that this movie didn't take a typical direction of werewolves die, humans win. Especially since werewolves are by far my favorite creatures for horror flicks.

[–] Jonesgrl5 14 years ago

It was entertaining... In the sense that most of my energy was spent trying to understand what in the world they were saying. Those thick Scottish accents were no match for my American ears, lol. I watched it a second time with the subtitles on!

[–] Trioxin_Zombie 13 years ago

It's not the worst Werewolf movie ever and it most certainly is not the worst movie ever. There are far worse movies out there that a lot or most of those who have posted on here so far wont have heard of.
