0:03
all right let's talk about werewolves
0:05
which is an indie movie directed by
0:08
Stephen C Miller from briercliffe
0:11
entertainment small Indie company this
0:14
movie stars Frank Guillo as Wesley
0:17
Marshall and he is the Man of Action
0:22
Earth is is confronted with a a mutation
0:27
that turns people into werewolves
0:30
and I mean not the laan Cheney one I
0:33
mean the ones that look like half wolves
0:35
half man upright standing
0:40
mean you know practical
0:44
wolves and uh there's a super moon that
0:47
is affecting the earth that is about to
0:50
turn almost one billion of the
0:53
population into wolves this is set up in
0:56
the First Act we meet uh uh Dr AR played
1:00
by Lou Diamond Phillips are cast of
1:02
characters that will be confronted with
1:04
a global crisis we're talking this is
1:08
the uh Walking Dead Or World War Z of
1:12
werewolves the way it's built up so it's
1:15
not just like typical werewolf movie ah
1:18
we'll deal with there's one person who's
1:21
whatever could be your friend or dad or
1:24
whatever usually the dad um and this is
1:28
it could be your neighbor it could be
1:29
your friend what's going to happen are
1:31
you mutant do you have the mutation or
1:35
not so it's it's they they have to
1:37
survive the night with you know 20% of
1:42
the Earth's population turning into
1:45
werewolves which ends up being like kind
1:48
of a a a KN of the Living Dead lock
1:51
yourself in the house hope you survive
1:54
uh type of situation and while the story
1:58
and premise is Extreme ex ambitious we
2:01
have never seen a werewolf film like
2:04
this what which is I think why it's
2:10
plural it uh it really fails to get to
2:14
that level I imagine something much
2:17
greater like I said with that premise
2:19
when they say and they say a billion
2:22
people will turn into werewolves
2:23
worldwide well where is this insane
2:27
influx of people and then
2:30
it it it it adds a sort of moral thing
2:34
where when people become zombies they're
2:36
already dead so when you kill like your
2:39
neighbor or your relative your mother
2:43
your father and and you kill them once
2:45
they've turned to a zombie they're not
2:47
turning back from a zombie to a human
2:50
but the the idea that people could turn
2:52
into werewolves you randomly kill one
2:55
and it turns out to be someone you know
2:58
as a whole other player of drama or so I
3:01
thought and I know I should not be
3:04
projecting what I had hoped the movie
3:06
would be on the actual movie Just judge
3:09
it as it is and I will judge it as it is
3:14
movie it should have gone direct to
3:16
streaming something on something if I
3:19
had caught it on shudder would have been
3:21
well that was fun but it's getting a
3:23
major theatrical release today and it
3:26
really sort of fails to shine or fa s to
3:30
live up to the premise that the movie
3:34
up and while I like Frank gillo and he
3:37
he goes full gorillo in this you know
3:40
he's Man of Action he a manly man of
3:44
action so I I quite like Frank gillo and
3:47
Lou Diamond Phillips I've always liked
3:51
cast but I'll say the they really shot
3:55
themselves in the foot with a silver
3:57
bullet by not living up to the premise
3:59
that they they began with and I mean the
4:03
action is pretty much by the numbers um
4:06
the werewolf stuff seen it before what
4:09
I've not seen before is something that's
4:11
on the scale of World War Z with
4:14
werewolves which what they they really
4:17
emphasize it too like they people are
4:19
preparing for the night it's going to be
4:22
scary and they pretty much deal with a
4:26
werewolves but not the what I imagined
4:29
would be be an influx of werewolves so
4:33
um I think the problem is in the writing
4:35
and the uh um setting up that premise so
4:39
I can't recommend werewolves probably
4:41
give it a five out of 10 and the five is
4:44
really for the cast so uh uh
4:48
disappointment for me you know if if you
4:52
got to see everything werewolves this
4:54
will be on your list but this uh failed
4:58
to Shine by the Light of the Moon as it
5:02
were there you go so did I hear it wrong
5:05
this takes place basically in a single
5:07
location no it well most of it once it
5:10
gets to the the the when Nightfall comes
5:14
yes then you're dealing with you know
5:17
one location and whatnot but but the
5:19
world is they deal with there's like
5:22
this lab there's uh you know Frank G
5:26
grillo's family's home like there's
5:28
they're dealing with lot but it isn't
5:31
like what I what they said like a
5:34
billion people are turning into
5:35
werewolves where's that yeah you see it
5:38
doesn't maybe it it didn't go there and
5:41
I was hoping it would
5:45
so so so basically just another werewolf
5:49
movie with a with a great premise
5:53
because most werewolf movies let's be
5:57
bunch I've seen a lot seems like it
6:00
always falls to me to to watch the
6:02
werewolf movies you're dealing with one
6:04
person who's becoming a werewolf it's
6:06
revealed who they are it's related to
6:09
the characters do you kill the werewolf
6:12
but you're then killing the also the
6:14
person that is a loved
6:16
one or a neighbor or a friend so it's
6:21
it's it adds a moral layer to it and
6:24
this could have dealt with that and it
6:28
didn't it's it's sort of a global threat
6:32
Zombie thing but with werewolves and I
6:36
expected more uh it's it's the budget
6:39
does seem kind of anemic like they
6:42
really shot for the moon but couldn't
6:43
pull it off H it's a shame so yeah a
6:47
great idea a great Foundation of a story
6:49
that ultimately transforms into the
6:52
basic were of Trope that is the AI
6:56
synopsis of my review
6:59
came up with it real intelligence yeah
