Lucha de fuego

MONSTERWOLF certainly takes some beating in terms of poor quality, and so far this must rank as the worst SyFy Channel monster flick I've watched. The film has virtually no redeeming values, and is completely devoid of originality and a single interesting or exciting moment.

The loose storyline involves a giant, indestructible wolf, the product of some Native American legend, running rampant through the streets of a small town. The people responsible are the usual epitome of corporate greed, an oil drilling company who've unwittingly unleashed the beast on their latest dig. What follows is entirely ordinary, as the wolf munches on some poor actors and proves impervious - as always - to ordinary firearms.

Mired in this mess are a desperate-looking Robert Picardo, a guy you have to feel sorry for after his appearances in these Z-grade flicks. Elsewhere we get erstwhile hero duties from a tired-looking Jason London; he looks so rough here that I had to double check to make sure it really was him. I guess the toll of making so many poor movies has taken its toll on the actor, but hey, it's a job. Just a very bad one.
