Werewolf Castle

Sure, I can't claim that I was harboring much of any high hopes or expectations to this 2021 fantasy horror movie from writer and director Charlie Steeds titled "Werewolf Castle".

Why? Well, first of all I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to sitting down in 2022 to watch it. Secondly then the majority of werewolf-based movies out there tend to be dubious movies. And also the fact that it was all unfamiliar names on the cast list wasn't really all that enticing either.

But still, I opted to watch "Werewolf Castle" on the notion of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and also on the off chance that the movie might actually be one of those rare instances where it is actually a great werewolf movie.

Yeah, I hate to say it but "Werewolf Castle" wasn't exactly a particularly thrilling or great movie. Sure, it was watchable for what it was - with that being a rather generic and mediocre werewolf movie. "Werewolf Castle" is the type of movie you watch once, then put it into the pile of shame and never return to it ever again.

Visually then "Werewolf Castle" was a mixed bag of nuts. The idea of the werewolves were good, but it was just so obviously people wearing furred suits and masks. Especially the masks were bad. Well, they looked good actually, but bad in the sense that there was zero articulation on them, so the werewolves wore the same open maw expression all the time.

The acting performances in the movie were so-so. I mean, the actors put on adequate enough performances, but you shouldn't go expecting a grand thespian experience here, if so you will be sorely disappointed.

"Werewolf Castle" lands a very mediocre five out of ten stars from me.

As many of these reviews make it out to be. There are some weak points- the werewolf costumes look cheap, and the gore effects have some highs and some really lows. That said, the story isn't bad, has some twists, and a tragically-heroic ending. I've watched a bunch of werewolf movies, and this is far from the worst. We watch the protagonist turn from coward to a hero, a warrior go from self-centered to caring, a knight look all-too human, and the twist with the king, I didn't see coming, despite the title of the movie. There are far worse movies on Prime, Tubi, and the like right now. This isn't bad for what it is- a low-budget werewolf movie.

Just finished watching the movie and despite its clear lack of budget I couldn't help but be completely engrossed in the movie. I feel that if they were to remake it with a higher budget it could be massive.

This has one of the worst werewolf movies ever. It's just people dressed up in a cheap Halloween costume with no special effects whatsoever and when they attack each other then not even touching each other. It's a bit like watching a 7-year-old school play. How can anyone actually produce this movie without laughing. This is 2023 if I only spent a few thousand dollars on some animation it would have gone a long way. The only thing that was good was the sex scene at the start. It went completely downhill after that. I'm not sure why Amazon would even put this on their movie list as it seems a very d-rated movie with a very small budget.

I had never heard of this movie before which probably was a good indication that the movie was not that great. After the first 10 minutes, I debated whether to watch it but decided to watch the whole thing to see if it would get better. The movie is not worth watching:

The plot was very predictable. I guessed what was going to happen before it happened like what was going to happen at the village in the woods, when he reached the castle and the ending. I did not think the story line or acting was that great. A waste of time. Find a better movie to watch. I watched it on Amazon Prime which was included free on my account. Don't waste your money renting or streaming it.
