After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The movie is dull, plodding and visually looks like ww2 re-enactment.The acting is community theater quality, some descent but way too over the top. And no, the werewolf serum looks NOTHING like the Re-animator movies. The CGI are mostly bad, especially the bullet hits and what I think are practical makeup looks like it was purchased at a halloween store and applied by a novice. The scene with the drill instructor was ripped off from Full Metal Jacket. If you are a B-movie fan you might like it other wise go watch Silver Bullet from 1985 with Gary Busey and Corey Haim.

This. . . is. . . horrendous! It's obviously low budget. Very low. That in itself is certainly not a detractor. But Gawd Damn! When we "enter" Mengele's concentration camp their are exactly four young adults that are supposed to be the entire POW camp. Two men Two woman. Modern looking women with long stringy hair parted on the side. The "blond" had 5 inches of exposed dark roots. Apparently they couldn't even manage to dye her hair one way or the other. It's like they took what little they remember from high school history class and threw it in here and there and decided to mix in a bit of The Island of Dr. Moreau. This is not a compliment at all. I would recommend you save yourselves and choose something else; but you are gonna do what you're gonna do. 2 of 10 stars because I don't like to flunk people completely.

I am not sure there are any film-makers currently as prolific as Andrew Jones, who, with production company North Bank Entertainment, continues to release low-budget horror films at a fast rate of knots. Most are enjoyable, some very much so. Never afraid to 'pay homage' to other projects, Jones here writes/directs something very close to Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds', but on his terms.It is bargain basement stuff, of course. Hitler's briefing room is backed with black drapes, while he sits in front of an un-ironed swastika drape, whilst true to Jones' direction, many scenes are a collection of close-ups. The best performance probably comes from Suzie Frances Garton as the resolute and duplicitous Ilsa (what else?) Koch - with suggestions of sensuality beneath that pristine cool veneer, she attacks the role with relish. In a disappointingly brief appearance, sometimes Jones regular Jared Morgan plays the bar-tender; he is always good to see. Perhaps it is ubiquity to blame, but I find it more difficult to be convinced by Lee Bane as 'Mad Dog' Murphy, someone too stylised to ever truly exist; whispering every line Eastwood-style, his avowed intent and catch-phrase, to 'kill Nazis' becomes more irritating than threatening. As ever though, he plays his role to the hilt and offers the key: don't take things too seriously. Other performances (and accents) vary greatly. Hitler, for example, provides Oliver Fritz an opportunity to display the Fuhrer as a bizarre, ailing grotesque.There are some interesting choices being made here and as is often the case with Jones' projects, the more you watch, the more these choices take you in. The long conversational scenes, the slow-burning story-telling, and some ripe performances combine with simmering interest, a good build-up of threat and as ever, some nice location filming that does enough to allow you to believe events are taking place in Nazi Germany 1944. That's another thing with films from the North Bank Entertainment stable - they cannot be accused of being unambitious. This could have been set in England with no Hitler appearance at all - but no, we have approximations of American accents, two curious werewolf hybrids and a bucket-load of Nazis.For a story with 'werewolves' in the title, we have to wait a long time for even the first mention of them by name. The reveal comes at the time the two main story-strands come together, in a midst of monster masks and CGI blood-splattering. Like the rest of the film, some moments will leave you impressed, others not so much. But it seems the adventures of (don't call him) 'Mad Dog' Murphy and his band of men are not quite over, as the post-credit flier tells us.

I'm not going to delve too much into the plot or anything, but I'm having trouble understanding what it is they were trying to do here. The CGI was horrific and just plain weird, and appeared to glitch out in some parts of the movie. The cover of course looked promising but, the masks that the "werewolves" wear don't look like wolves or even dogs at all. In fact, they looked more like a Klingon than a wolf. Not to mention, the masks are exactly that, masks! In some parts of the movie, they even appeared to fall off or become unsituated on the actors face. Also, does Hitler have Parkinson's disease or what? Every time he speaks, he is shivering uncontrollably and having issues speaking coherently. I don't understand why they did that? Was Hitler this way in real life? I have never seen them give him an effect like that in any film. Not to mention the fact that, regardless of the national origins of the actors, their accents sound so incredibly fake that it's almost painful to listen to.The cover made me excited! Too bad this was such a disappointment.
