Okay so look at that cover, look at that title! I went in with zero expectations, I believed I was likely in for another low budget werewolf mess and when I realized it was British my hopes flatlined.
It's been a longtime since I've been this wrong, this is one of the biggest surprises I've come across in years.
A British independent horror comedy with a werewolf theme that tells that story of a small village as a movie production crew begins filming a zombie movie locally. When the bodies start to pile up it falls on the incompetent police force and local bar buddies to save the day.
It looks as cheap as you'd expect and sadly when anything even remotely werewolf happens the lack of budget shows and hurts the film.
But that's literally all I have to say in criticism of The Snarling. Well cast with a host of vaguely familiar faces from various UK soaps and sitcoms and with some of the best writing I've come across in years! I chuckled, I laughed and I split my sides......this is a genuinely hilarious movie.
Absolutely beats the pants off of most werewolf films and for that matter films in general lately. Really oddly enjoyable.
The Good:
Some good laughs
Great transitions
Oddly good writing
The Bad:
Lack of budget hurt the film

It's about what you'd expect. It's a good laugh, it's well acted and the plot is really good. It's not as funny as I hoped maybe but I did laugh out loud a few times and I really enjoyed the film. Well worth the watch for sure. In the vein of Shaun Of The Dead!
A really good independent UK horror film, filled with some good laugh moments as well as the humour that is quintessentially British. The work on the production value of this film is clear, despite the low budget that would have been associated with it - and certainly worth a watch.
I wish this film had just a little more money for the Werewolf effects ......it suffers a lot when seen. But that's the only real criticism...... it's not about Oscar winning FX it's about fun.
Cheap British horror comedy with a great script and cast (familiar faces from UK soaps). The banter between the three extras from the pub (The Severed Arms) was really funny and I found myself laughing out loud. A pleasant surprise.

Its daft humour, which did have me laughing along. Quite a few nods to AWIL, had me looking in the background for those nuggets. The torn jackets hanging on the pub door etc.
I'll happily have a pint of Howling Wolf. Cheers to werewolf films, may there be many more.

- GoofsShortly after the start of the movie, Mike enters the bar, complaining about how bad the rain is outside. His black leather jacket is soaked, yet his hair is dry and neatly combed. If he'd been walking in the rain for as long as it's shown, his hair should be wet.
