Every part of this movie was intended to be funny, and it had some goofy humor in it that had us laughing most of the time. Sure, I saw it on Chiller, and didn't pay a cent for it, and maybe I would've been annoyed if I had to pay for it. But it was a lot more entertaining than watching another group of 19 year-olds stranded on a camping trip and being killed in some way, or watching some scientist having to get back together with his ex-wife to save the world from some insect/bird/dragon/creature/earthquake/storm/dinosaur/etc...And it actually had some characters that weren't teens or college students in it(!). The goofy assistant with a "hot internet date" waiting for him probably was too close to home for most of the reviewers here. The humor was not emo-teen oriented like Ginger Snaps, and had fast, surprising editing that proved that his director could come up with something like "Smokin' Aces" if he had even half of the money that director had in production values. The humor also wasn't the typical dope/sex stuff that i've also had enough of in these horrible mainstream teen comedies, although the "rectal probe" ending was one of the few jokes that fell flat...

I've seen porn with higher production values, a better plot and better special effects!! In a world where American Werewolf In London, Dog Soldiers and The Wolfman exist, why does anyone need to make a film like this? Oh yeah because it's a purely cynical exercise by soulless, trashy film makers with less ideas than their already pitiful budget to make loads of straight to DVD crap movies, stock them on shelves in Blockbuster and trick unsuspecting suckers into renting or buying what on the cover seems like a big budget Hollywood production. You'll know how bad this is the second you see the Yeti like werewolf, it has to be the least scary thing I've ever seen. I don't really know if I have enough will left to finish the review but if yourrrgghhhbllluuuurrrghhhbbbllaaaaahhhhgabbbagabbahey

I had to skip through this movie because the acting was just so bad it was bellow porn movie standard. You had all of the cheesy effects like illuminating by spotlights so it it is like daylight then having people running around with nightvision **safety goggles** who cant see or hear the werewolf when it grunts about 5 ft away from them... Extended sequences which involve people getting mauled and they just drip and drip and drip and drip until your actually falling asleep from the lack of shot change. This movie reeks of some fool sponsoring it and getting everyone from their family to act in it. The movie was shot at a warehouse which looked like it was a film studio. Hey lets scrub locations... lets just film it in a film studio and set the storyline to be in a film studio. Wow... what a way to save $70 of the films budget of $2000. There were scenes where the main heart throb (who actually looks like a geek) wanders down a corridor (1 minute of boredom) to another corridor (1 minute of boredom) to a doorway. Then he goes outside and there's more boredom as he realises a door is open.... more boredom as he goes and shuts the door. I realise now I'm actually really totally spoiling the plot for you here. Without these key scenes the movie would just fall apart, cant you tell ;-) Grrrrrr! Yeah there's this as so much more pointless junk in this movie that you really will be able to put it down and go make some food and not come back. Can anyone explain to me why when the main character heard a dog howl in the distance he freaks out and runs inside the building. Nobody from this main section of the movie had even been killed by any form of werewolf at this point, nor even been scared by one. A dog howling... please come on....why did this guy start running. Did he know something that wasn't included in the script. Doh! There's loads of pointless romance and chatting and time fillers. Yes its a movie where they overdo the special effects to hide the bad makeup on the werewolf so don't be expecting too much. I bothered to pause the movie on the more closeup scenes of the werewolf and it really is latex and you can almost see where the different paint was used on the nose and the face of werewolf. Probably household emulsion paint. There should be laws which stop people hiring movie camera equipment and making this kind of crap. How do they get it released. Some great movies get made every year and cant get releases and then rubbish like this gets released in their place.... whats wrong with the movie industry.

This is a straight to video release that should be sent straight to the trash. It's not even good in an ironic way. I must admit however, I only watched about 20 minutes of this "movie" then gave up. The quick choppy editing early on in the film was enough for me to make my decision. I watch a lot of movies and trust my opinion.I skipped ahead a few chapters to see if anything of value happens, still the same garbage. I tried the audio commentary. It seems they were going for a bit of action, some comedy, an 80's feel and of course horror. The result is a far, far, distant cry from anything like American Werewolf in London, Silver Bullet, or Ginger Snaps.Those horror and action films of the 80's that the creators of this flick were modeling weren't attempting to be classics, they just happened to be good movies that remain timeless.Better luck next time creators of Werewolf: Devils Hound.
