Review of DarkWolf

DarkWolf (2003 Video)
6/10
Ultimate Werewolf Movie
1 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
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 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.
