That was an excellent one.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I would be lying if I said it was a great movie, but for SyFy it is tolerable and much better than it should have been. Okay, there are one too many parts of the story that are predictable and derivative of Fright Night, the editing is very fragmented, the special effects are rather cheap-looking(but I have seen far worse actually), the direction is much too straight-forward to be convincing and some of the killings are weak in thrills and over too quickly. On the other hand, the scenery and locations are actually quite spookily atmospheric, and the music is also fitting with the tone of the film with some tongue-in-cheek moments. The dialogue is never going to be nominated for an award for Best Screenplay but it is much less cheesier and stilted than most SyFy movies and there are scenes that do have at least some fun and suspense. The characters are clichéd, but are nowhere near as annoying as so many other characters in SyFy movies. The acting is better than average, I agree to some extent that Peter Stebbings is rather on the young side to convince completely as a villain, but Kevin Sorbo especially is good. So overall, mixed on the whole but it is far better than it could've been which could have been far worse. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Like others have already mentioned, this straight-to-TV b-grade production (yes a Sci-fi feature) is 1985 "Fright Night" all over again… but this time for this generation the spin is it's a werewolf next door. The plot structure is rather similar, as the differences go to some certain key factors being switched about and having a witless script tagged to it. One thing though; as the down-to-earth main character comes to the realisation that she's living next to a werewolf it comes off rather forced and rashly quick, compared to obsessed horror nut protagonist in "Fright Night". Nonetheless it's very average, but I still found it rivetingly disposable, despite how derivative it happens to be and exactly how goofy (intentional or not) it plays out. Actually the mockery vibe felt more deliberate than not. What made it even more enjoyable were the three performances of (a dependably confident) Nina Dobrev (who's decked in a sports bra for the film's climax), Peter Sebbings (who's gleaming presence seems to fit) and definitely Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo amusingly sending up his TV-star based hunter character. It wasn't great acting, but they're fitting by having fun and it shows in the film's energy. Which was needed because the direction and visual styling was on the plain side, as the attempted jump scares were weakly executed and the restricted make-up effects looked quite shonky. They do throw around (that's literally) a bit of blood splatter. Fragmented editing is used around the beastie and its attacks. In some scenes you see bits of it, or a simple silhouette and shadow. However there were a few scenes were the angle of the camera placed, had me thinking it looked like a bear. Nothing special, but a decent time-waster if you can look past its been-there-done that story.

Wow... I just finished watching this movie. The girl is cute. Thats about all this movie has going for it. The rest really sucks. Do not continue reading unless you want to know what makes this movie one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot trust me. At the end when Kevin Sorbo is hanging from the tree with his arms and legs, then you see him spin the bullets around his 6-shooter handgun with both hands. Even the part when he drops his shotgun that is "silver plated" and it shatters into 3 pieces. Wow. Who writes this crap? Oh and lets not forget the crossbow the girl uses. These things should have over 100 pounds of tension and yet she is able to pull the string back with one hand. (Instead of using her foot and both hands like real crossbows.) Then she shoots one the broken parts from the "silver plated" shotgun barrel out of the crossbow... and kills him. And for you all that comparing it to "Fright Night" no way, this movies not even close to the same level.

I really enjoyed this movie,if for no other reason than the fact that it was nice to see Kevin Sorbo play a guy who doesn't want to be a hero,but needs to know what kind of man he really is. Redd Tucker is a down and out ex-TV personality(he used to host a hunting show)who gets the attention of a young woman trying to prove that a neighbor is really a werewolf. He pours out his story to her(rather sarasticily,I might add)and despite his initial reluctance,ends up helping her in her quest. The special effects are really nice,especially the werewolf makeup and all-really awesome! If you're expecting something really scary,then you might be a bit disappointed by this because it wasn't that frightening at all! Overall, a good and enjoyable movie!
