Such a frustrating disappointment

A Major Disappointment

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I felt embarrassed while watching this deeply juvenile and completely offensive B-movie, which takes the story of the real-life deaf/blind Helen Keller and mixes it with werewolves in a way similar to ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. This is a film that mercilessly lampoons the disabled; the depiction of the bumbling, idiotic Keller character is stupid beyond belief, and the poor production values means that the action rarely leaves a single set. The humour is forced and unfunny, and how they got 'proper' actors like Barry Bostwick and Lin Shaye to appear, I have no idea.

Ross Patterson is a genius, HK vs Nightwolves is a master. His use of camera angles and special effects is amazing, HK vs Nightwolves ranks up with Range15, The Godfather, Raging Bull, and Gone with the Wind. This movie is a must watch, prepare yourself to be blown away. Grab a France Press, some Leadslingers Whisky and some lube, dim the lights and enjoy, Ross Patterson brings it home. The cast is outstanding, JT, Rocco, and Matt Best bring it to the next level, won't be surprised if the are nominated for Oscars. Watch this movie with your family, you will enjoy it and the kids will learn the true story of Hellen Keller, not the stuff stuff they learn in school.

First off, I consider myself a huge Ross Patterson fan. I own all of his movies and his book and I'm pretty sure I have a lock of hair floating around somewhere in my house. That being said, it saddens me that I couldn't give this movie the stellar review I'd hoped. First off, the movie is outrageous, which is great; the title alone is enough to make a viewer chuckle. Second, the main actors did an amazing job especially Jesse Merlin who portrayed Helen Keller's gay brother. Now for the bad news. It seems to me that director Ross Patterson simply took the elements that worked in his previous movies (Voice overs for example) then did them to death in Helen Keller vs. Nightwolves. The scenes with Saint James Street James didn't even compare to those in Poolboy 2 Drowning Out the Fury, and a lot of the times the over the top elements of the movie went on just a bit too long and became annoying. To put it in simple terms, I just didn't find myself laughing very much (even while viewing during alcohol consumption), and that is why a viewer watches a Ross Patterson movie, to laugh. Any fan of crazy comedies will get a kick out of this movie, but in terms of Ross Patterson movies it is a HJ. It will never be your first choice, but after a sad sigh you will take it. No hard feelings Ross, looking forward to the next one.

This was the most exquisite, fantastic movie of my entire life. I have never seen such a well directed, supremely acted piece of work. The visual effects were absolutely stellar. I was titillated the entire way through. The dark humor was tactful and elegant, while the action was raw and coarse. It is not only entertaining, but exceptionally educational. The real story of Hellen Keller is honestly something that should be taught in schools across the globe. It is a story that needs to be told.Unfortunately, my viewing partner acquired cancer half-way through the movie, so I was forced to halt my experience. I would definitely recommend to all ages, sexes, genders, and those with disabilities.
