complete waste of time.


Watching the "werewolf" in this movie is like watching a guy in a werewolf costume creep around the department store isle at Halloween. The direction sucks. The acting is over done.
Just pass on it.

This just goes to show you how a good monster costume/outfit is THE most important thing in a horror movie. I can't tell you how many films I've seen that have completely tanked with audiences mainly because the monster looked crappy. While I've seen movies totally suck but get positive reviews mainly because the monster looked cool. I'm positive this movie would have gotten better reviews if they had made the monster outfits cool. Although I like the movie, I totally understand why audiences hated the monster outfits so much it took them out of the movie.

I think the filmmakers either should have better looking werewolves or changed the creatures from werewolves to giant mutant squirrel-monkeys and made the movie one of those, so bad, it's entertaining type of flicks. Then they could have sold it to SyFy and made some profit. Or they could have just kept the monster entirely in the dark. The first monster attack was scary. But I'm sure when people saw the monsters at the end they must have said, "Wow. I waited around to see the monster in full costume and this is what he looks like? Total garbage!"

Somewhat agree. Not to be ambivalent but Late Phases was pure *beep*

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

The monster was the least of this movie's problems.
