Best movie ever!
... View MoreI gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreWhile it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Whether it is the token wife beater, the trio of grease monkeys, or even his fellow cops, this guy can not catch a break. Everyone treats him like a tool. The abuse he receives makes you feel bad for him, as well as be sympathetic towards werewolf chasing cops everywhere.Surprisingly, this movie is actually pretty watchable. Honestly, I do not have dementia, my blood sugar is just fine, and there is no carbon monoxide in my house right now. So let me repeat that again: this movie is actually pretty watchable. Although it is derivative of other (far better) werewolf movies, you can actually sit through this movie without using a silver bullet on yourself. For a movie made by Asylum, the acting is not that bad compared to the usual trash they distribute.Only two problems with the movie: First, the special effects are pretty bush league. Special effects make up artists Rick Baker and Tom Savini will not lose work to this crew any time soon. The werewolf in Bray Road, at times, looked like a costume you could buy at your local Halloween Adventure.Second problem with Bray Road is that if you kill off all your major characters except for three, and two of the remaining are hunting the monster, the mystery of which character is the werewolf is lost. As a result, you can see the ending coming a mile away.The Beast of Bray Road is an good B movie....cheesy and campy, but also entertaining as well. Now let me go check my blood sugar again!

"The Beast of Bray Road" is apparently based on local Wisconsin lore, but do not think this "based on true events" tag line means your next Lindsay Wagner & Robert Urich TV movie of the week. It's probably based on a true story told around a campfire. What this is is a fun, fast werewolf movie like you haven't seen in a while, better than recent submissions like "War Wolves" or "Never Cry Werewolf", shot efficiently on a tight budget. It has blood, beasts and boobs (well, just one quick pair) and makes for the perfect midnight movie.The frequent and very clear views of the beast is a nice surprise for monster fans, and for the budget, I'll say it looks really good. The deaths are gruesome and plenty, sticking to a slasher template. All the actors make a good job and actually are given some basic development and dialogue to play with. I was completely taken aback when I burst out laughing at a one-liner delivered by a drunk bimbo just before her demise in a car. This is definitely not a comedy, but the joke was good and unexpected.All in all, very recommended for B-movie fans.
... View MoreI first watched this movie on TV... I liked it, I would of given it a 7/10. Then I watched the real, uncut movie. It's wonderful!! It is actually believable, and the monster doesn't look like a huge pile of Hair and meat. It has a lot of gore compared to other movies like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. It actually shows him eating the people. This is by far tied with the best werewolf movie i've ever seen.(with Silver Bullet) This is an underrated movie, I've watched it over and over again and I never get sick of it. If you like gore, and getting scared out of your pants, you'd really like this movie. Also, what's so wrong with the acting? It's perfectly fine to me. I saw the Departed( everyone said the acting was fantastic) and it was just as good. Just because it doesn't have any stars like Leonardo Decaprio or someone famous doesn't meant that the acting is bad. The acting in Nightmare on Elm Street was even worse. It is really cool that it is partially based on real events, there actually WAS a massacre of the pilgrims around the Bray Road area in the 1800's and there have been sightings ranging from 1900-2000.
... View MoreEvisceration like the sound of it? There's plenty!There is a scene where the sheriff and 'crypto zoologist' are in the woods - 'listen - I don't hear anything - that's what I mean, no birds, no insects, something scared them off...' If you listen, you can hear birds above the obvious noise of traffic from a local highway.Too gory for the young, too campy for the intelligent.Sam Raimi beware - someone is trying to bump Evil Dead from the #1 campy horror slot.Light hearted fun, bad acting.
