Werewolf Rising

The ending plot twist is the only reason I'd give it 3 stars. Over all just no.

• awful audio thats was sudden on or off no fade whatsoever - no plot/all over the place - very confusing - first scene actress nothing to do with the rest of the film - ending poorly explained - no build up or even time to relate to characters - why did everyone had to kneel all the time - theme was a poor attempt at a copy of Friday the 13th

Overall: a slap dash attempt of a horror film and i feel sorry for the actors and actresses who actually starred in this film apart from the lead actress who was about as convincing as a bag of salmon.

and if they are going to make a werewolf film make sure it looks like one and not like a bat costume. it makes me feel like they couldn't afford a wolf costume because they blew the budget on the renting the location.

anyway don't watch it get something better like Friday the 13th and let this monstrosity of a film collect dust in a bargin bin for all time.

We love werewolf movies so we do have a high standard, however going into this we knew this film wasn't going to have the best effects. It gets one star for having actual prosthetics and masks, even if the werewolf mask looks some kind of hybrid wolf/bat thing. And that's about the only good in the whole movie.

The cinematography is terrible. The dialog is terrible. The acting is terrible (though the lead actress does the best of the bunch, she needs more directing). The writing/plot is terrible. You'll find yourself saying "huh?" sooo many times. The end made little to no sense. It's full of continuity errors. The audio stinks. Maybe their goal was canon fodder for MST3K?

Save yourself some time and watch some other independent films. We just saw "Beyond the Gates" and it was Oscar worthy compared to this junk.

Another movie that is strictly made to maximize profit. The actors are awful and obvious addicts. There is no scenery expenses, no actor expenses, just 3 basic people in the whole movie and not all at once.

A werewolf movie, that is essentially all that is needed to draw my attention. And it was all that I needed to know when I found "Werewolf Rising" and picked it up to bring it home to watch.

It turned out that "Werewolf Rising" wasn't a particularly thrilling or enjoyable addition to the werewolf subgenre within the horror category. Why? Well, the movie was just lacking a proper script and storyline. And the fact that the storyline that was there was so simplistic that even a dead person could keep up to pace with the movie hardly helped it in any positive manner.

Director and writer BC Furtney hardly managed to put together a memorable or even enjoyable movie here. Still, I managed to endure this ordeal to the bitter end. But I must admit that I had my mobile phone in my hand and were perusing the social media frequently throughout the course of "Werewolf Rising", and I wasn't missing out on anything vital in the movie while doing that.

The special effects in the movie were subpar of mediocre, and that is giving them way too much credit actually. The werewolf looked like it had been ripped out of a 1980s horror movie, and it looked more like a werebat than it looked like a werewolf. That was just atrocious to bear witness to.

And the movie wasn't exactly loaded with grand movie stars. I have never heard of Melissa Carnell before, and I doubt that after "Werewolf Rising" hers is a name that I will bump into frequently and say "wasn't that the girl from that werewolf movie?" Now, I am familiar with Bill Oberst Jr. from movies produced by The Asylum - yeah, hardly a great track record. While I can't claim to enjoy his acting performances, I have to admit that it was just atrocious in this movie.

If you enjoy werewolf movies, then do yourself a solid and stay well clear of the 2014 "Werewolf Rising", because it is simply not worth the time, effort or money you'll waste on it.
