Night Wolf (2010)
3/10
Spoilt by a largely unlikable cast
28 October 2010
I will be honest and say that I didn't get to the end of this movie without fast forwarding, and indeed found out the 'whole' story from previous reviews. I did watch the first 15-20 minutes and that was enough to switch me off. In previous reviews I complained about directors not giving enough time for characters to develop before killing them off. In this movie we had several minutes of idiotic young adults drinking and stoning with suitably annoying dialogue. I can only think the director and writer wanted us to hate them so we would cheers the monster ending their pathetic little lives. I stopped the movie though at the point where the monster had been discovered and they had escaped up into the attic. Oh my god was acting beyond belief! I was too sure if one of them was attempting a smirk,grin or a scowl, but considering that he had just seen his father eviscerated in bed he certainly should have been pretty traumatised. Really, really poor. Any horror movie buff who has seen many a monster movie in small tight spaces would do well to re-watch Alien rather than this tosh. All too often small budgets are bandied around as an excuse for the failure of movies. That simply is not true. A recent cheapy British flick about a monster was produced recently which worked far better because one who actually care for the hunted. I can't remember the movie but it is in my review list. Verdict: wanted to like it, but characters and acting were truly atrocious.
