Fella_shibby Sometimes u do get tempted by the DVD cover n the fake inverted commas reviews on it. Take examples of The Vanguard, Dark Wolf, Blooded, etc. Sometimes they mislead us by posters of famous actors who appear for jus a cameo. Sometimes they jus write, from the director followed by some name which u later come to know that he is a nobody. I saw this on a pirated DVD for 50 rupees in 2008. The plot, i know who cares for an ultra micro budget trash. The film opens in a topless strip club. We see lots of boobs. A biker causes a ruckus, the police come to arrest him. He's handcuffed, and thrown into the back of the wagon. He turns in a werewolf, eats a policeman, and escapes.... The transformations are quite possibly the worst ever seen in a werewolf movie n the bad gorilla costume, the less said the better. It has everything bad. Atrocious editing, bad acting, awful direction. Sometimes i feel movies like these r purposely made jus to show expenses or losses to the income tax department. Or maybe the makers jus get the sadistic pleasure by making us see their trash.
Enchorde Recap: Full moon. A creature, a huge werewolf, is on the hunt. Not for flesh, not for blood (not that it seem to mind to take a bite on the way though), but for a mate. He is on the hunt for a girl. Not any girl though. The Girl. The girl that is pure (and also a werewolf, although she doesn't know it yet). Three, well check that, two cops (after the first scene) and an old bag lady is all that can stop it, or even knows that the thing killing and eating a lot of folks around full moon is a werewolf. This particular powerful werewolf, Darkwolf, is closing in on the girl. If he gets her, mankind is doomed. Now the cops has to find the girl, convince her not only that there is someone, a werewolf nonetheless, that wants to rape her, and perhaps kill her, but that she is a werewolf herself. And then they got to stop him...Comments: This is one for the boys, the teenage boys. A lot of scenes with semi-nude girls more or less important for the plot. Mostly less. Well I guess you need something to fill some time because the plot is (expectedly) thin. And unfortunately there is little besides the girls to help the plot from breaking. One usually turns to two main themes. Nudity. Check. And then special effects. Hmm... Well there are some things that you might call effects. They're not very special though. In fact, to be blunt, they are very bad. The movie seems to be suffering of a lack of funds. They couldn't afford clothes for some of the girls ;), and the effects are cheap. Some of the transformations between werewolf and human form, obviously done by computer, are really bad. You might overlook such things. But the Darkwolf in itself is very crude too, and you never get to see any killings. Just some mutilated corpses afterwards. And there is surprisingly little blood about, in a movie that honestly should be drenched in blood.I'm not sure what to say about actors and characters. Most of the times they do well, but unfortunately there are lapses were the characters (or actors) just looses it. A few of these lapses could be connected with the problems mentioned above. Like the poor effects, or the poor budget(?). That could explain why there is precious little shooting, even if the characters are armed like a small army and the target is in plain sight (and not moving). But hey, when you're in real danger, there nothing that will save your life like a good one-liner...Unfortunately that can't explain moments when the Cop, Steve, the only one who knows how to maybe deal with the problem, the werewolf that is, runs away, when the only things he can be sure of, is that the werewolf is coming for the girl, who is just beside him now, and that he cannot let it have her. But sure, it let the makers stretch the ending a little more...But I wouldn't mind seeing none of the lead actors/actresses get another try in another movie.Well. To give a small conclusion: Not a movie that I recommend.3/10
Zombified_660 As a trashy B-Movie, Darkwolf is a success. Overall, it's an entertaining 90 minutes of incredibly cheesy horror, coming off like a hybrid of Innocent Blood and Species. Basic plot outline: The prince of hybrid Werewolves, the titular Darkwolf, is in town on the hunt for the Werewolf Matriarch so he can mate and make lots of vicious Werewolf babies. Trick is, the Matriarch has just recently been born, and doesn't know what she is, so is kind of busy waitressing to cover college fees.Nothing unusual there then. Ahem. Darkwolf is played with a kind of leaden menace by horror's premier rotting corpse for hire Kane Hodder in a fashion that pretty much reminded me of Jason only he didn't have the mask on. Kane doesn't really do much other than throw people about (the wolfed-out version is played by someone else) and he does that well, so all's well there. Also, the lead good-guys Josie and Steve are acted well, and have a genuine on screen chemistry that makes any of the movie they're in a load of laughs.Still, the rest of the cast, Tippi Hedren aside, are god awful. They seem like nice guys in the making-of, but that doesn't exactly make 'em Gielgud either. In fairness to them they're playing the most cliché bunch of roles you ever did see, and they throw themselves at the 'jock, bimbo, boyfriend etc blah blah blah' roles pretty hard, but they're still nails-down-chalkboard irritating. This is compounded by the fact that halfway through the movie they become split off from Josie and Steve, leaving us to watch them 'like, whatever' their way through most of the rest of the movie.Then there's the nudity. Didn't I mention it before, oh yeah. Darkwolf has gratuitous nudity throughout the entirety of it's first half. I'm as red-blooded as the next human being, but the fact of the matter is that nudity/sex in horror is almost never sexy, it's always kind of awkward and clunky, maybe cos most of the cheaper flicks are directed by men? I dunno. Anyhow, Darkwolf goes unrepentantly for the 'hey, boobies!' audience from minute one (literally, the first scenes are in a strip club), and I really can't find any way of getting round the fact that the constant un-sexy nudity really detracts from the movie. If it was sexy, intimate or somehow more deep (like maybe if it was useful for rounding out characters in the limited timescale like in Hostel or Puppet Master) I wouldn't object to the nudity, and I don't on a 'ban this sick filth' type level, I just feel like the nudity is purely there for titillation and gets in the way of the plot progression.Despite the payload of bad acting from the support cast, and the repeat showing of many boobies in a deeply un-sensuous workmanlike fashion, Darkwolf is fun. I liked the leads a great deal, especially Josie, and the movie's story is fresh and avoids becoming repetitive. I enjoyed it a lot despite it's obvious flaws, it's a silly, active and entertaining movie, and hopefully the crew will make some more creature features sooner or later, preferably without quite so much nudity (honest to god, this movie could've been ten/twenty minutes shorter without it) and the Friday the 13th style support cast.
calinchiorean I have nothing to comment on this movie It is so bad that I had to put my first comment on IMDb website to help some viewers save some time and do something more interesting, instead of watching this "movie" ... anything will do, even stare at the walls is better.And because I have to write minimum 10 lines of text, i tell you also is a low budget movie, bad acting, no name actors, a stupid mutt as the wolf, and so on... Also the story brings nothing new, the special effects are made in the 80's style.The movie is almost as bad as the movie "Megalodon".So have fun! ;) (not watching this movie)
