He could do no less."Yes?" Kristl sat up.."And everyone is dead." Henry continued."Quite dead..except for Red herself.""Even her lover gets killed in the end, by herself no less. Poor Red." Henry said."I wonder where that kid comes from that sits on her lap at the end scene." Kristl said, "I wonder many things. Like why make another werewolf movie?""That is simple. It is circle of movies. Vampires, werewolves and zombies. One after the other. We have had a vampire hype, we have zombie hype, we will probably see a werewolf hype.""And so on. Werewolves do get to be a bit boring, but at least they tried to add some different take to the story. I liked it that Red was not a such a tough chick with no feelings and they added this complication in that her lover was also turned into a werewolf against his will.""Yeah, but the low budget made it suffer. I mean when it came down to the combat scenes and showing the werewolves themselves it became quite crappy, especially in those scenes were the werewolves change shape." Henry felt the stubs on his jaw."You had a rough night?" Kristl remarked."Yeah.. stayed up late.""And drank too much.""That too.""So was the movie enjoyable, considering the state you are in?" "Well sort of. It did feel like a rip off from underworld, but a weak one." Henry said."Yeah. And there was nothing remarkable about how it was filmed. I even had the feeling it was a seventies or eighties movie, but it is made in 2010.""There are a few nice scenes, like when she was a little girl see a werewolf attack her mother while Red is hiding up in the attic. Or when she walks into the forest clocked in a red blanket. Or wakes up after having slept in the leaves on the forest floor." Kristl added, "Still the movie falls short in everything. For instance there is a strong reference to Little Red Riding Hood and the movie starts out like a modern version, but this is never referenced or used in any fashion. The romance is wooden and stale. And nothing is done with fact that Red is actually an FBI agent."And except for a few scenes, the whole cinematography technique of this movie is just sloppy. Like back lighting in the woods is a strong green hue. It is not scary, it is just plain odd.""But it isn't too bad a movie." Henry said."Maybe. If they had just a tad more budget, cut down on the cgi and had the actors act better it might have been decent, now it is just a less- than-decent movie.""A time waster really." "Good to know you had your fun yesterday.""Yeah, lame movies are good for recovering from hangovers." Henry nodded his head, then regretted it."And to take a nap." Kristl said, "You miss nothing when you do.""Right."Also at http://meritcoba.wordpress.com with pictures.
... View MoreThis is obviously something that must have had a half-life on the Sci-Fi channel and it shows. There are these breaks where they obviously were supposed to put in the commercials. No nudity or profanity and pretty toned down violence. Skiffy all the way.So the plot is the descendants of Little Red all gather together at a house the same weekend the Werewolves decide to break the truce and start attacking people again.So poor quality CGI abounds.But I'll give the movie its props for some okay acting, tight story progression and a bad guy who looked like a real bad guy.worth a rental? Only out of a Red Box.
... View MoreAs Georgia Lass once said, "interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C equals A, or whatever." And boy, should I have listened.So I watched SyFy's (sic!) Tin Man and Alice and thought, "well, those were {more than} a bit good, so this might also be alright..."WRONG. This... thing, for I dread to call it a film, is god (lower case 'g') bloody awful. It could've tried passing itself as a {bad} horror movie, it certainly had the body count for it (I can almost see some Whedon fan-boy (devoid, naturally, of anything resembling talent or imagination) writing this while drooling profusely), except it didn't. I'm not saying that EVERY movie should have blood and guts galore, but holy hell, THIS movie could've sure used some.Which brings me to the characters. No, sorry, the only reason why anyone might care for a few seconds about any of them is "hey, look, it's deputy Andy" or "hey, well that's the rev from Haven." (Yes, I know that this was before Haven). Speaking of the rev, he may have looked okay on Haven (but that's down to not having enough screen-time to really make himself look inept and having guys like Eric Balfour to compete with (my grandma could do a better job and she's been in the ground for nearly twenty years now)), but he's absolutely bland.And one final note to the writers: BACK-STORY. If you decide you want a werewolf that suddenly learns to wolf-out at will it might be useful to EXPLAIN just how that happened without resorting to motivational speeches seemingly written by a three year-old.. If you have dead parents/grandfather use them somehow to move the plot. If you have someone who can write... oh, never me mind, you don't.But I digress, this was, after all, probably thought of by an airhead who was reading Pelevin while sitting on the bog. Ugh.P.S. It's only suitable this thing was followed by Skinwalkers, a perfect night of the living brain-dead so to speak.
... View MoreI had to post here as there are only 5 reviews and one said this movie stunk. It is a stinker alright, dull, boring and just plain bad. I turned it off after about 20 - 30 mins.Firstly, and this may not be to your liking BUT - if you are going to pretend that your are out patrolling after the baddies(a.k.a military style), at least put in some sort of effort. Spend a couple of dollars on an ex-military person to show you how it's done. Trying to fake it just looks plain awful.Also, if you are going to give field signals (like telling your team to do something with hand signals), again, get some advice. I was confused as to what they were doing. Surely there is someone in the US to help with this. This is not being pedantic, I just couldn't tell what they were doing.You don't have to have been in the military to understand what I'm saying. When you are going after someone (say the Vampire or the Werewolf), you don't stand out in the open waiting to get attacked. You keep as best hidden as you can. This is basic stuff - common sense.The creatures in this movie were pretty poor. I tried to like them but they were such bad CGI. Try watching any of the resident evil movies.
