I love this movie so much

Powerful

Don't listen to the negative reviews

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

The Beast of Bray Road is not a bad movie and it is nowhere near the worst(or one of the worst) that The Asylum has done). The Beast of Bray Road starts very promisingly and nail-bitingly, it is filmed competently with nice-looking locations, the music does have some haunting overtones without being too obvious or intrusive the attacks are inventive and suspenseful with good and not overused use of gore and the acting of Jeff Denton, Sara Lieving and Thomas Downey is certainly much better-than-average. The creature however didn't really have that much presence or personality, the make-up was pretty good but the costume design wasn't really, rather goofy and incomplete and it didn't seem to be sure whether it wanted to be a werewolf or a bigfoot(neither did the story for that matter). The dialogue is cheesy rather than smart, feels underwritten and could have done with more flow. The storytelling is rather lazy, it is by-the-numbers stuff to begin with but it is also further disadvantaged by too much dull padding that add little to the story, characterisation that veers between flat to non-existent, a general lack of tension and genuine horror outside of the attacks and a twist and ending that is both predictable and implausible. The characters are uninteresting and little more than cardboard stereotypes, and while Denton, Lieving and Downey are good, much of the rest of the cast are bland or wooden or both. There is also not much attempt at authenticity, people may not take lightly to men being portrayed as drunk and boorish. In conclusion, a promising start and there was definitely effort evident but it does get very lazy and it was easy to lose interest. Didn't like or dislike it, but felt indifferent, well-intentioned but lazy and forgettable. 4/10 Bethany Cox

In all fairness, Jeff Denton is not that terrible in this movie. His character, although he is the sheriff of a small town, gets zero respect from any other characters. 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 (2005) is another one of those movies that has a very good premise but the final execution is awful. A variation of the "10 little indians" theme here as a mysterious beast of lore is running around the countryside gobbling up people like pac-man scaring everyone witless in the area. The local authorities and a few do-gooders try their best to stop the terror but will it be enough to stop THE BEAST OF BRAY ROAD!!I tried my best to enjoy the movie because I love a good werewolf story. But this one wasn't that enjoyable. The only bright spot is the cute bartender, man she's hot. But other than that don't waste your time unless you really like bad movies.Not recommended

The Beast of Bray Road is set in Walworth County, Wisconsin & starts late one night as Kelly (Sarah Lieving), the owner of the imaginatively named bar Kelly's, closes up for the night. Potential lovers Billy (Tom Nagel) & Gretchin (Heather Conforto) have an argument & Gretchin drives off on her own, however her car breaks down a short time later & while stuck in the middle of nowhere she is attacked by a Werewolf like creature & brutally killed... It's not long before soon to be the new Sheriff Phil Jenkins (Jeff Denton) has found Gretchins abandoned car & starts to investigate, as he tries to find the whereabouts of Gretchin he is told of the local legends about the supposed 'Beast of Bray Road' which has apparently stalked the area for years. At first Jenkins is understandably sceptical but as the bodies start to pile up & a flood of 'Beast' sightings are reported he might have to rethink his position & break out the silver bullets...Apparently 'Based on a True Story' (according to the opening credits), edited, written & directed by Leigh Slawner I thought The Beast of Bray Road was a pretty decent little horror film, it's nothing spectacular but it's certainly watchable in it's own right. The script moves along at a fair pace & it's not overly boring or talky. The film keeps the Werewolf's identity a secret until the end & the actual revelation as to whom it is comes across as a neat little twist that isn't as obvious as it might have been. There are pleasing amounts of violence & there's some nice nudity as well. I thought the character's were a bit poor, lots of small town small minded bigot's who hate the police & get drunk all the time. Still, nothings perfect right? The Beast of Bray Road isn't the best horror film ever made but it's a pretty decent time-waster all the same & there aren't too many Werewolf films out there, let alone good ones. I'm not sure what else I can say about it, it's a perfectly watchable film & that's about all that need to be said really.Director Slawner does a pretty good job, the film looks quite good & isn't as cheap looking as a lot of low budget horror films. There isn't many scares & there's not much atmosphere either but there's some nice gore, there are crushed heads, split open heads, decapitated heads, someone has their leg torn off, there are various unfortunate people who have their intestines pulled out & eaten, there's a gory blood splattered skeleton, bodies ripped in half & there's a lot of blood splashed around which helps. There's some nudity as well. The special effects are good as well & there isn't a rubbishy cartoon CGI effect in sight, the Werewolf creature looks decent although we never see any sort of transformation scene & unlike a lot of Werewolf films whether it appears or not seems to have nothing to do with there being a full moon or not.Technically The Beast of Bray Road is fine & considering it's low budget shot on a digital camcorder type origins it's pretty good. The acting was also fairly good.The Beast of Bray Road is one of those films which is watchable, it isn't going to top anyones 'best film' list but it's a good Werewolf horror film with a decent amount of gore. You could do better for sure but you could also do a hell of a lot worse, worth a watch if nothing else.
