I have very forgiving standards when it comes to werewolf movies. Usually it's only the ones where the filmmaker's cast themselves as badass werewolves that I get really offended. But wow, did this one really test me.
The title alone should tell you what you're in for; trying to ape off the best werewolf movie ever.
Even without confirming it in the trivia, you can tell this was shot on a rental property they weren't allowed to damage. The premise of being trapped in a house with a werewolf outside loses all tension when it's painfully obvious the filmmaker's aren't allowed to even break a window.
The tension is further deflated when you quickly realize there is no supporting cast. Of the dozen credited actors, more than half of the them are only in the final scene of the movie. The vast majority of the film is just two people and a werewolf, which means there's no one to pick off and kill.
There are a handful of decent horror shots, but those are easily outnumbered by dead ends where the film making is foreshadowing things that don't pay off, and loose ends of potentially interesting character drama that never goes anywhere.
There's next to no blood until the last 5 minutes of the movie. Until the final 10 minutes of the movie, I don't think anyone even raises their voice.
This movie has no worth other than to see how not to write a werewolf movie. If you do happen to watch this and chase it with Bad Moon; a werewolf movie with a short running time and a tiny cast that is actually good.
