This movie is terrible, but it is watchable. It's exciting enough to at least somewhat enjoy, even though you're laughing the whole way through because of how lame the plot and acting are. The Mystery Science Theater episode is just hilarious. I was laughing so hard at their commentary and the ridiculousness of the film that I had trouble breathing, like when the werewolf is staring at his girlfriend and someone (don't remember who, maybe Mike) says something like, "Now you just need to wear a long, loose dress and roll around in the mud for me." Previously, a stupid girl in a long dress saw the werewolf and ran OUT of the vehicle she was in, only to be chased by it and killed in the mud. 3/10 for the movie (even the non MST3K version is humorous) 10/10 for the MST3K version.

Arizona scientists uncover the skeleton of a werewolf (no joke) and when a man gets cut by the skull he- well, you can probably figure that much out.Very cheap werewolf flick filmed in southern California is enjoyable enough for those who can dig cheesy B horror films, but certainly not a movie to be taken seriously! Werewolf has a decent enough premise behind it but really suffers from a lack of budget and some super-lame dialog! Seriously, this movie has some of the most unintentionally funny dialog! The werewolf FX are pretty cheap, consisting of various B movie FX like puppet heads, wolf suits, and guys with increasingly hairy faces and plastic fangs. A completely uneven cast doesn't help matters either. Dig that native American theme music!Bad movie lovers might just enjoy it but there is no disguising the lameness of this cheapie . It made for a great episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000!* 1/2 out of ****

When I write one of these little reviews, there are certain words I try to avoid when describing a movie. Some words just don't seem appropriate. But when it comes to Werewolf, I'm going to break this rule. Werewolf has to be one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. While watching Werewolf, it's difficult to fathom that an upright walking human with opposable thumbs and an I.Q. above that of a water sprinkler could have made something so inept. Werewolf's plot is an absolute unadulterated mess. You could give cameras to a band of poo throwing monkeys and end up with a more coherent movie. The actors are given some of the most inane dialogue ever recorded. And it doesn't help matters that three of the main characters (Adrianna Miles being the worst offender) sound more like they need to be in an ESL class than shooting a movie. If Joe Estevez emoting like there's no tomorrow is the highlight of the movie, you know you're in deep trouble. In short, Werewolf is a disaster.But, as bad as Werewolf admittedly is, coming up with a rating has proved more difficult that I imagined. Much of the movie is so unintentionally hilarious that I was entertained despite the multitude of problems. Take the film's continuity (or lack thereof) as an example. Watching actor Jorge Rivero's hair go from almost black and slicked back to slightly graying with less of a greasy look to brown with blond highlights and a feathered appearance all in a matter of 15 minutes is too funny. Or take the scenes where the werewolf transforms from an actor in makeup to a stuffed animal being shaken at the camera to someone in a bear suit all within 45 seconds – it's laugh-out-loud, hold your sides so they don't split hysterical. But in the end, it's still a pathetic movie and a rating of 2/10 seems somehow generous.

MST3K version.This film is a perfect example to show that; Long periods where nothing happens are not necessarily dramatic of suspenseful.The pace of the film is established by Tom Servo during the establishment shot of the hospital. (not exact but the gist)"Okay they've established the hospital,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they've established the hell out of the hospital."You bought 25 seconds of stock footage, so your going to use 25 seconds of stock footage.
