Anybody got a silver bullet? Anybody? Please?, August 31, 2001
Uhgggh. This movie was just horrible. It begins where a crew of excavators unearths the skeleton of a werewolf in the Arizona desert. The fakest skeleton I've ever seen,loaded up with all kinds of knobby growths and claws.... The skull actually has bone ears growing from it---BONE EARS---I guess just in case you forget that it's a werewolf skeleton. Anyway, all you have to do is get scratched by the skeleton, and you turn into a werewolf!!! Like within twenty minutes. Oh dear God. One of the excavators, this withered, batrachian-looking creep named Yuri, decides, for no reason whatsoever, to run around and scratch people with the skeleton, thus making more werewolves. This scheme elevates him to the status of one of the guest villains from Josie and the Pussycats---and I think that in a fight the Pussycats would take Yuri down in round one.
At one point, Yuri drugs a security guard, then, I guess, infects him somehow. So the security guard wakes up, and walks out in the parking lot to his car. Along the way he starts growing hair and fangs, and doesn't even notice. He gets in his car, and drives off, while he continues to transform. Both of his hands stay on the steering wheel, and his driving doesn't seem to suffer AS HE TURNS INTO A WEREWOLF. HE DOES NOT NOTICE HIS OWN FUR-TUFTED CLAWED HANDS AT THE WHEEL! AND HIS HAT STAYS ON HIS HEAD THROUGHOUT THE TRANSFORMATION. I've almost wrecked my car dropping cigarette butts in my lap, and this guy turns into a hairy demon and doesn't even miss a stop sign.
As all of this occurs, Yuri is driving behind the guard, watching and grinning gleefully, though he is in a car three hundred yards behind the guard, it's night, and he can see nothing, he's still grinning like he just got lucky with a prom queen. I would have to say, avoid this movie like the plague of lycanthropy, and try to avoid the desert, because evidently that's where all the werewolves are.

This review is from: Werewolf [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If you must watch it, try to watch the MST3K version. It is so ridiculous in every way. Bad everything.

I usually like Werewolf movies, but..., November 21, 2000
Ok, I'll keep this short and sweet... if you're looking for a good movie... skip this. If you are looking to spend some money and the "werewolf" section of your dvd library wont be complete without this one... then by all means, go for it... but I was disapointed at the acting, plot, cinametography, special effects... you get the idea. The two best things about this movie are its cover (cause I must admit it looks pretty nice), and its end credits (which made me cheer because it was finally over)
