Very well executed

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Blistering performances.

I have certainly seen a lot of werewolves, but director Richard Friedman and writer Geoffrey Alan Holliday put together what I consider the best werewolf movie ever.You just knew that it was going to be a winner when the action started in a strip club. In walks biker Kane Hodder (Hatchet, 2001 Maniacs) with the cops on his tail. Amid all the breasts, he manages to get caught, but only for a short time. Locked securely in a steel police van, he transforms into the Hybrid Wolf and escapes, leaving two bodies in his wake - one completely unrecognizable as something human.The dead detective partner (Ryan Alosio) has a rookie with him (Jaime Bergman, Miss January 1999). She finds his job to be totally unbelievable, and becomes the wolf-man's next victim before we get to see her beauty to the fullest.At the same time, the Werewolf Protector, Tippi Hedren of The Birds fame, is also getting killed, but not before she clues the detective in that the waitress (Maxim Hot 100 Samaire Armstrong) is the mate the wolf-man is looking for. So, he takes Josie and becomes her protector.While they are hiding, the action gets hot and heavy at a local photographer's studio. Josie's boyfriend and friend Stacey (Andrea Bogart) arrive and the photographer decides to make up Stacey and Yellow Power Ranger, Sasha Craig as wolf-man models for a shoot on the roof. What we get for the next 10-15 minutes is one of the hottest shoots you can imagine. While we were denied in Greed/Axe, we get to see all of Bogart (she is a natural blond) and Craig as they put on a girl/girl show that steams the joint up. While this is going on Josie's boyfriend is trapped in the alley with the wolf-man. The switching from hot beauty to savage tearing and blood back and forth was an artistic treat.What's left after that? Well the wolf-man still wants a mate and the chase is on into the LAPD headquarters where bodies are mangled and torn throughout as we reach the climax.Great effects as we watch Armstrong do a transformation into a wolf girl and back to human. This was Holliday's first story/screenplay. I wish he would do more.

OK, this movie starts off in a strip club.On the one hand, I have some really bad experiences with movies that start off this way or include strip clubs in any major sense. On the other hand, I really like strip clubs in real life. So I'll keep watching and hope this isn't a bad omen.Well, the preponderance of plastic boobies is a bad sign. So is the cheesy special effect thing making the guy's eyes glow red. Not by itself a bad concept but it looks like my nephew colored it with crayon. I'm starting to wonder why I torture myself like this.Less than 10 minutes into the film, I'm realizing just how bad this movie is. The acting is melodramatic at best, the FX are laughable, the dialogue sounds completely cheesy. I'll keep watching, just in case it's bad enough to be good.Fifteen minutes in, we're treated to some explanation about "pure-bred werewolves" and "hybrid werewolves" that started almost a millennium ago. Logic isn't particularly valued here. It is shaping up to be one of those it's-so-bad-you-have-to-watch-this movies.Twenty minutes in, we get a speech that basically says "we're all going to die unless this one girl realizes something for herself but we can't interfere to let her know what's going on." Just under half an hour, we have bystanders picking up things at a crime scene and saying loudly, "What is this?" Then they walk off carrying it with police all around – and the antagonist, who is in the crowd, doesn't follow them.The film doesn't really get much better from this point. It continues the trend toward absolute zero IQ rather quickly. To be honest, it's not even in the so-bad-it's-good category. It appears to be more in the so-bad-it's-unwatchable category. Pubescent boys might get a kick out of the plastic mammaries displayed on occasion, but even that is so infrequent as to not even be a selling point. That being said, I must say that the scene around fifty minutes and afterwards was somewhat interesting.Low budget, this catastrophe doesn't even have the campiness factor to be even a little redeeming. It was probably the worst horror flick I've seen in quite some time. And that's saying a lot.But OK, some ways it could have been made better: (1) more of an explanation (and a logical one) as to what was actually going on; (2) double the FX budget (better $200 than $100); (3) deliberately go for campiness and dark humour instead of having it be unintentional; (4) more naked chicks, less plastic tits (just because that always makes things better); (5) hire someone to write dialogue instead of letting your kid brother do it as a 7th-grade project; (5b) alternatively, hire a director who can direct something more than traffic. \ I'm sorry, was I harsh in my review? Yes. Did this movie deserve that level of harshness? No. It deserved much, much worse. I'm giving this move a 1.5 out of 10 rating. It's that high only because I've seen movies that are actually worse than this one.

Firstly I think I ought to say that I watched 2 films back-to-back. Lycan and DarkWolf.The only comment I'll make about Lycan is big monkeys and The Backstreet Boys. Those of you who have seen it will know what I mean. Avoid at all costs! As for DarkWolf I quite enjoyed it, and I know I'm among the minority on this. It has a decent storyline, it's pacey a little bit spooky at times, and there is some serious sexy stuff in it which many will enjoy. All that a horror film should be, apart from one major thing. The CGI transformations. It's a real shame that the producers chose to do this, they would have done so much better making the transformations rawer, I personally think it would have made the film so, so much better.Aside from that I'll give it a thumbs-up. The 6 rating is because of the CGI effects. With something different and with more thought given I probably would have rated it higher.Give it a watch, you might find you're one of the minority too!

I watched this film alone, in the dark, and it was full moon outside! I didn't do it in purpose, it just happened in this way. So all the elements were there for this film to scare the hell out of me!! Well, it didn't, in fact i wanted to shut off the DVD player after only 8 minutes, but i thought come on give it a chance, unfortunately i did. The acting was awful, the only one with some decent acting was Samaire Armstrong. The plot is not original, if you are a horror fan then it is just the same stuff you have seen many times before. Some scenes didn't make sense at all, and you just get the feeling that the director wanted to make the movie longer! The monster was the biggest disappointment of the movie. The (scary) scenes looked like they belong to a horror movie from the 80s when there was not enough technology, yet some good movies were made back then! I was surprised to see the name of a major production company at the beginning of the movie, i thought couldn't they put some money in this and make it decent?!! I couldn't agree more with the ratings that the movie got, it is also my rating for it, 3 out of 10.
