Very well executed

Please don't spend money on this.

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

In the opening scene we get to see Derek's dad (Andrew Bowen) get his leg ripped off by a werewolf. Seven years later, mom (Sarah Aldrich) has remarried to Mitchell (Richard Tyson). Derek is pledging a fraternity, one that has him take his biker chick friend Samantha (Kimberly J. Brown) to the proverbial cabin in the woods with two movie typical college couples.We already know it is a werewolf coming at us, no need to guess or a spinner. What we do find out is that this werewolf speaks, spouting out those "Freddie-esque" one liners. The film is linear with no twists. Derek (Trevor Duke-Moretz) was a very straight character and outside of some moments by Samantha, the characters were drab. Her relationship with Derek is, "I care about you more than any man I ever slept with."The film has some good scenes such as the opening sequence when the guide announced, "We are being hunted." Unfortunately they didn't stretch out the good scenes.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Shannon Malone, Robin Sydney)

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

After watching the "Cheezy Horror" preview discs Vol 1 & 2, I've been in the mood for Cheese Horror. First up was Shark Attack on the Mediterranean – and that more than fit the mold. Next was this overly clichéd werewolf story. but with one catch: It really wasn't that bad. Yes, all elements were there, the characters you knew were gonna get it and in which order and the predictable (no spoiler) door left open for Bigger, Badder Wolf. But the performance from Sam, the change from normal wolf-man to talking, pants wearing creature and a mild subplot of how he came to be. Yes, the movie was bad, but the efforts involved, makes it overall, really not that bad. I've seen a lot worse, a lot worse werewolf movies (see Howling II-XXVII). Worth watching on "instant" than waiting for in the mail.

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.
