vchimpanzee Scott, Mitch, Charlie and another man are on a hunting trip. Mitch and Charlie get separated from the others. Something grabs one of the men and he is not seen again. Then Scott is grabbed and we see this terrible creature who doesn't quite look like a wolf, or anything else that exists in nature. Charlie arrives but can't save his friend.Seven years later Mitch is married to Scott's widow Gwen. he is not nice, but doesn't quite qualify as abusive. Gwen's son Derek doesn't accept him as his father. Derek is pledging a college fraternity, and to impress two of the members, he steals the keys to Mitch's cabin in the woods. The other two guys have brought girls, and Derek likes Sam, a biker chick who works in a garage. Sam has an attitude and doesn't take pleasure in spending time with Muffy, Brittany, Biff and Chad (their names are actually Cassie, Melissa, Alex and Jason). It's hard to believe a nice guy Like Derek would like her. Actually, Sam is quite likeable even if she has an edge.The group get lost and asks a man whose truck broke down for help. The guys are eager to help fix the truck but only Sam can actually get it done. But the man refuses at first to give the kids any advice other than turn around and go back. He finally gives in, and the kids arrive at the cabin and have a great time. Cassie has nasty things to say about Alex and they get the bedroom, apparently so they can do what she was talking about. We do get to see her in her underwear before ... you know what will happen. Just not when or how many. And the monster says things like, "Little pig, little pig, let me in!"Derek and Sam are on the news and are being hounded by journalists. The funniest group of reporters are the ones from the university, who want to make a tribute to the deceased, and they harass the kids several times before becoming more important to the plot.Charlie has avoided the family since the earlier incident, but he has a theory. So do Derek and Sam. Charlie secretly meets with the kids and they all investigate the theory, hoping to stop the monster.We do get to meet the monster when he is human. We see signs he is not who we think he is, and ... let me put it this way. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. But he can normally control himself except during a full moon, which there was when the men were hunting, and when the kids were at the cabin. The ending is quite exciting. And ridiculous. Count Basie would be proud. If you are looking for a good horror movie, this might not be it. This might be one of those movies that is so bad it's good. But maybe not, since some of the acting is quite good. I found the mystery interesting and many of the characters and situations entertaining.If anyone can be called a good actor in this film, it is Kimberly J. Brown as Sam. Despite her attitude, she's quite easy to like most of the time, and when she has to in order to get information, she can be quite charming.Another good actor is the one who plays the monster, even when he is human. As the monster, he is actually funny, if you like a sick sense of humor. I don't. I think the credits give away who the actor is, but keep in mind sometimes actors play more than one part. Perhaps Mitch has a twin brother or something. A lot of people are shown in the credits as being responsible for the great job of making Richard Tyson look so good. This movie was cleaned up for TV when I saw it. There seemed to be a lot of bad language, and there were several scenes where something was blurry and red. The violence here is often implied but not for the squeamish. And lots of innocent people don't make it, though if you don't like them, that might not be so bad.I'm not a horror movie fan, but there was a lot for me to like here.

jacobjohntaylor1 This a very scary movie. It has great story line. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. If it does not scary you no movie will. 6 is underrating this movie. People are giving to a good ratting will say that. But still 6 is underrating it. This is a 9. This scarier then A Nightmare on elm street. And that is not easy to do. If there is one really scary movie to see this Halloween see this movie. This a very scary movie. It is scarier then The silence of the lambs could ever be. This is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. This is one of best horror movie of all time. If this does not scary you no movie will. If you like good horror stories see this movie.

PALADIN12640 For years I have avoided teen slasher movies. I must not have read the jacket, bought this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think I could say anyone but a child would be scared by this movie, like say Dog Soldiers was "scary", but it definitely had some tense moments. And it was funny. A rare combination in the movies I watch. I will definitely recommend this one movie to those who don't watch teen slasher movies. Only nine of ten for the makeup/CGI and the criminal under use of Clint Howard. I think any movie he's in is made better by his being in said movie. And those scenes at the cabin before "Wolfie showed up: ah, sweet memories of youth.

sol ***SPOILERS*** Despite the blood gore and flying body parts that includes a number of gruesome decapitations the film "Big Bad Wolf"comes across more like a comedy then a horror or slasher flick. There's this crazy guy in the film Mitch Tablot, Richard Tyson, who's really a wolf-man who married the former Gwen Cowley, Sarah Aldrich, who's husband Scott, Andrew Bowen, he killed and tore apart in the jungles of darkest Africa while he was out hunting for wild boar. How this nut case Mitch became a wolf-man as well as ended up back in the USA and married his victim's widowed wife is never explained in the movie!It's when Mitch's step-son Derek, Trever Duke-Moretz, and his overly active, in having sex, friends decided to spent the weekend at Mitch's cabin deep in the woods that things started to get out of hand in the movie. It just happened that the day they were to spend the night there was a full moon and that was a fatal mistake on their part. Mitch who spent his time at the cabin when the moon was full just happened to show up and ripped the startled and horny students, who were engaged in doing you know what, apart with the exception of Derek and his girlfriend Tom Boy car mechanic Sam, don't you ever call me Samantha, Marche both escaping the carnage.With Derek somehow suspecting his step-father Mitch of being the killer of his friends it's now up to him and Sam to stop Mitch for any farther killings by killing him before he kills again! But being the law abiding persons that they are both Derek and Sam first need some positive proof that Mitch is whom they suspect he is, The wolf-man, before they kill him. That's where Derek's Uncle Charlie, Chris Shyer, comes in. It was Uncle Charlie who was with Derek's dad at the time he was killed in far off Africa and knows what Derek & Sam have been keeping from the police in who or what killed their friends back at Mitch's cabin. And in him being very friendly with a number of people working at a DNA research lab in town he needs just a sample of Mitch's DNA to get the ball rolling. That in order for him to prove that Mitch in fact isn't human or at best half human, and half wolf, in order to expose and have him arrested by the police for the killing he committed in the movie. And even better then that prevent Mitch from killing, when the moon is full, anyone else in the future!***SPOILERS*** It's the comedy angle and gut wrenching special effects in the movie that make it so effective. There's also the really hot and sexy looking chicks, or girls, who are always ready willing and able to takes their clothes off, at any given moment, who unfortunately, with the exception of Derek and Sam the Tom Boy, end up getting killed and mutilated by the crazed and hopped up,he rapes a number of them before killing them, Mitch Talbot. As for Mitch he ends up getting what's coming to him at the end of the movie. But like in all these "Friday the 13th" type horror movies he leaves us all a calling card in that we didn't see the last of Mitch Talbot and he'll soon be back before we even know it! Crazy but interesting film with the talking wolf-man and the sexy and at times unclad girls the main reason for watching it.
