Big Bad Wolf (2006)

Saw this on a dvd in 2007. Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own. The movie starts in some African jungle wher a hunter is attacked brutally by a creature. Cut the scene n we get to c a group of teens heading for a cabin inspite of being warned by a stranger not to go there. There is sufficient gore n a lil bit of nudity but the scares were zero. There is no tension n the worst part is the transformation scene. It looked like a cartoon from the 80s. In fact the transformation scene from An American werewolf in London is still one of the best. There is a scene where a man is supposed to retrieve the stolen report n jus run away but the level of stupidity is annoying when he jus keeps on lingering in the place knowing there is a werewolf around.

For years I have avoided teen slasher movies. I must not have read the jacket, bought this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think I could say anyone but a child would be scared by this movie, like say Dog Soldiers was "scary", but it definitely had some tense moments. And it was funny. A rare combination in the movies I watch. I will definitely recommend this one movie to those who don't watch teen slasher movies. Only nine of ten for the makeup/CGI and the criminal under use of Clint Howard. I think any movie he's in is made better by his being in said movie. And those scenes at the cabin before "Wolfie showed up: ah, sweet memories of youth.

Having agreed to allow his fraternity brothers to spend the weekend partying with their girlfriends at his stepfather's cabin, lanky pledge Derek (Trevor Duke) convinces his platonic girlfriend, spunky female mechanic Sam (Kimberly J. Brown), to tag along and keep him company.The fun soon comes to an end, however, when a werewolf crashes the party and proceeds to tear the frat guys and girls into ribbons. Derek and Sam narrowly escape with their lives, but the danger proves to be far from over when they correctly suspect that the werewolf's true identity is none other than Mitchell Toblat (Richard Tyson), Derek's overbearing stepfather.Big Bad Wolf features one of the most miserable CGI transformation scenes I've ever seen (not quite as abysmal as the one from Darkwolf, but pretty close) and the resultant creature isn't exactly the greatest cinematic lycanthrope to ever lope through the woods on a moonlit night, looking like an angry, ugly Wookie having a bad hair day, and with a face as expressionless as Nicole Kidman after a top-up at the botox clinic.Don't let the monster's manky appearance put you off checking this film out, though, because what he lacks in the looks department, he sure makes up for in attitude: this beast is one seriously sadistic sonovabitch, taunting his prey as he stalks them (yes, that's right, he can talk!), giving the hottest girls some serious wolf lovin' before ripping them apart, and generally taking great pleasure in reducing his victims to a ragged, bloody mess.Whilst this is certainly bad news for anyone who should accidentally cross his path, it's great news for horror fans who love their films done in the worst possible taste: legs are pulled off, heads ripped apart, throats slashed, genitals torn away, and guts pulled out, but only after any hot babes have been defrocked and rogered by the randy beast. And while we're talking about bad taste, let's not forget about the incredibly trashy moment when Sam sneaks into Mitchell's bedroom to find strands of his hair for DNA testing, but ends up with a DNA sample of a different kind when she is cornered by Mr. Toblat and pressured into giving him head (hey, I did say she was a spunky gal!).I give Big Bad Wolf a rating of 7.5 out of 10, happily rounded up to 8 because the DVD only cost me a quid from Poundland!

After watching the "Cheezy Horror" preview discs Vol 1 & 2, I've been in the mood for Cheese Horror. First up was Shark Attack on the Mediterranean – and that more than fit the mold. Next was this overly clichéd werewolf story. but with one catch: It really wasn't that bad. Yes, all elements were there, the characters you knew were gonna get it and in which order and the predictable (no spoiler) door left open for Bigger, Badder Wolf. But the performance from Sam, the change from normal wolf-man to talking, pants wearing creature and a mild subplot of how he came to be. Yes, the movie was bad, but the efforts involved, makes it overall, really not that bad. I've seen a lot worse, a lot worse werewolf movies (see Howling II-XXVII). Worth watching on "instant" than waiting for in the mail.
