That was an excellent one.

A Disappointing Continuation

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

MONSTERWOLF certainly takes some beating in terms of poor quality, and so far this must rank as the worst SyFy Channel monster flick I've watched. The film has virtually no redeeming values, and is completely devoid of originality and a single interesting or exciting moment.The loose storyline involves a giant, indestructible wolf, the product of some Native American legend, running rampant through the streets of a small town. The people responsible are the usual epitome of corporate greed, an oil drilling company who've unwittingly unleashed the beast on their latest dig. What follows is entirely ordinary, as the wolf munches on some poor actors and proves impervious - as always - to ordinary firearms.Mired in this mess are a desperate-looking Robert Picardo, a guy you have to feel sorry for after his appearances in these Z-grade flicks. Elsewhere we get erstwhile hero duties from a tired-looking Jason London; he looks so rough here that I had to double check to make sure it really was him. I guess the toll of making so many poor movies has taken its toll on the actor, but hey, it's a job. Just a very bad one.

I just finished watching this on the Sci Fr Channel. Needless to say, I have insomnia. The channel has made and broadcast several awful films over the years. However, some of them are so awful, they're fun. This one is about some kind of native American werewolf who is awakened when an oil drilling company tries to buy land from a tribe in southern Louisiana, then breaks its word and drills without their consent. This one turned out to be above average for that network. The special effects are surprisingly good and the actors are competent. Also the script is slightly more logical than usual for these people. I also got a little bit of local flavor, with the scenery and music being good enough. I'm not saying it's a good film. I'm certainly not recommending it. But it was a few notches better than most of their work.

For a TV movie, then "Monsterwolf" wasn't too bad. Well, let me rephrase that, it could have been worse.The story told in "Monsterwolf" is sort of interesting; a spirit wolf is summoned to seek revenge for a wrong-doing against native Indian people. And the wolf is indestructible. Now, I am not overly familiar with Indian lore and legends, so I have no idea whether to be skeptic or embrace this idea. But as for a movie plot, it worked well enough."Monsterwolf" wasn't too shabby on the effects and CGI. Sure there were moments where the wolf looked kinda weird, but in general it worked well enough.The cast in "Monsterwolf" was also good enough, for this particular type of movie. The movie was carried on the shoulders of Jason London (playing Yale) and Marc Macaulay (playing sheriff Bennett). There were other good actors/actresses on the list as well, but London and Macaulay were the ones most memorable."Monsterwolf" isn't particularly scary despite it being listed as a horror movie. I will go as far as saying it is not even a thriller. But still, the movie did keep me entertained for the entire feature length. However, it is not the type of movie that I will be making a second time back to.

I am an avid watcher of SyFy's original movies and always find myself laughing at the how poorly made the films are, so when I finished watching Monsterwolf on Saturday night, I have to admit that SyFy has stepped it up with this one! Sure, the CGI wolf was laughable at times, but overall the effects were pretty good, the cast was great, the script was fun, and some of the locations were beautiful. I hope to see more quality movies like this from SyFy as I was a little concerned about the future of the Saturday night premieres after some of the recent releases. The frustrating thing for me when I typically watch these movies is that it is pretty clear that they don't care if the movie looks good, don't care about the effects, don't care about the acting. It was nice to feel like SyFy actually cared about making a good movie! Haha.
