This review is from: WolvesBayne (DVD)
I'll keep it short. This is an indie film, produced by "FIWI Entertainment". Credits are given to
the State of Louisiana, Governor Jindal, the Parish and city of Lafayette and its mayor, and the city of Crowley and its mayor for assistance in the filming. The overall tone of this film is not a horror movie, nor a parody nor camp; it seems basically designed just to be an entertaining film. The parts don't always add up to a predictable whole in films; sometimes a bunch of somewhat-average components add up to a real flop. In this case a bunch of average (at best) components add up to something more entertaining than it ought to be. The plot is vague and unpersuasive; the special effects are not high budget, the action scenes for the most part are rather lame, the acting is very uneven, the dialog hardly brilliant, yet somehow it manages to be fun. Maybe it's that some of the actors and actresses are pretty good-looking. Maybe its the romantic subtext between the lead male and female. Whatever the reason I came away liking it OK. The film has no rating but if it were rated it would fall somewhere between PG-13 and R. There's no nudity, no foul language, no guts but quite a bit of blood. And frequently skimpily, shall we say provocatively-dressed women. Bayne is just an ordinary, ruthless, self-centered businessman when his life becomes transformed by getting bitten by a werewolf. He is befriended by the woman who opposed him business-wise, "Alex", because she knows he is now caught up in a battle he knows nothing of, and because she figures she may need his help. Like the dust-jacket says, it's vampires against werewolves against slayers, not to mention vampires against vampires, with unsuspecting humanity the stake in this game. Don't expect the plot to make sense; just enjoy the show. Deserving special nods: Mark Dacascos as the vampire Von Griem, Rhett Giles as Jacob Von Helsing, and Christy Romano as "Alex". There are no "special features" but yes, there are subtitles available.

Part Human. Part Wolf. All Terrible!,
By Einsatz (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WolvesBayne (DVD)
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
I liked the DVD cover: very well done....as it tricked me into buying this crappy piece of crap of a crappy movie (insert expletives at will). Can't blame anyone though, as no one forced me to buy it. (Fortunately, I got it dirt cheap, and that's about what it was worth.) The plot, such as it was, started with Jeremy London as an obnoxious realtor who, through no fault of his own, becomes a werewolf. You would think that, judging from the cover, this is a werewolf movie. You'd be wrong, it's a vampire "let's take over the world" movie. There are these amulets needed to resurrect this old vampire, Lilith (played by Yancy Butler). A scavenger hunt of sorts takes place to find some of them (they already have a few). A couple of vampire hunters don't want this to happen and work to stop it. Yeah, that's pretty much all there is to this. The editing is terrible, the dialog witless, the story barely rudimentary, the acting united in its simplicity (nice way of saying awful). Nothing in the way of horror is involved. And yes, martial arts actor Mark Dacascos gets to kick-butt as a vampire henchman. Before you ask, no, Jeremy London is not the hero or a villain, he's barely a sidekick to another werewolf and no, he does not save the day. Makes you wonder why he was even in this film. As a timewaster, it wastes time. Not a keeper, not even for the DVD cover.
