Werewolf Fever is a low budget Canadian werewolf movie, written and directed by Brian Singleton. Right off of the bat I’m going to give out some kudos, because the werewolf movie is virtually an untapped market. Sure, the early eighties had a boom of several solid titles, and there’s been one or two gems in between, but for the most part, the werewolf flick is extinct. It’s nice to see that there are people out there that love the genre as much as I do, and it shows in the end result.
The first thing you need to know before you seek this title out, is that when I say it’s a low budget film, I don’t mean it’s a low budget, straight to video studio effort, I mean it’s an actual Low budget film. Though the special effects are practical, and serve their intended purpose,...

*A screener of this werewolf styled film was provided by Gravitas Ventures for review.
Director/writer: Brian Singleon.
Rarely does this film reviewer get a chance to review a Canadian made indie horror product. This unlucky streak ended with Brian Singleton's (Forest of the Dead) Werwolf Fever. This feature was filmed in 2007 throughout Renfrew, Ontario and this is an homage to the great werewolf films of the '80s e.g. American Werewolf in London. Except this Canadian version is much campier than this previously mentioned film; the acting is a little more awkward too.
The film is likely set in the '80s and the film's focus point is the King Burger, burger joint. Here, several twenty-somethings are humiliated by their dictatorial boss, Odi Buckmeyer (Ian Lloyd). But, he is the least of their worries, when the King Burger delivery driver is bitten by an anonymous rabid squirrel or beaver.

Here at Dread Central we love werewolves. Especially the ones who aren't afraid to submit to their animal instincts that go on limb-tearing killing sprees. Yes, those are the best!
Brian Singleton's little indie flick Werewolf Fever may not have the budget of the big screen fiasco that was The Wolfman, but holy shit, does it look like a lot more fun!
For more information dig on the official Werewolf Fever website. Check out some stills, the synopsis, and the trailer below. Thanks to DC reader Avery for the heads-up!
Synopsis
"At the Kingburger Drive-In the food is fast, the service is sexy, and the price is right. But tonight terror is on the menu when the Kingburger's cantankerous boss, Odi Buckmeyer, leaves the late shift employees to wait for Donnie, the delivery driver. On his way back Donnie is attacked by an unknown animal in the woods on an deserted road.

The nominees for the 2010 Streamys were announced today. The Streamys celebrate online television programming and this year they have a fantastic line up of nominees. Last year was the Streamys debut year and the winners included high profile shows such as Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and the exceptional Battlestar Galactica web series The Face of the Enemy.
This year there is even more competition with some really interesting content now being released on the web rather than through more traditional media routes. Two of my favourites from this year’s nominee list are the excellent Interview Project which is presented by davidlynch.com and the slightly flawed but thoroughly enjoyable Angel of Death, created by Ed Brubaker and starring Zoe Bell, which also received a DVD release last year.
The awards ceremony takes place on April 11th 2010 and the full list of nominees is listed below with handy links...
