Review – Big Bad Wolf
“Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll rip your guts out!” Actual line from the movie. No kidding. That should give you some idea of what you’re in for. This was billed as a horror comedy, which normally I’d avoid. But I’m a werewolf buff, so I thought I’d give it a chance. Frankly, a horror comedy would have been a relief compared to what this turned out to be. About the funniest thing in the whole movie was a brief appearance by David “American Werewolf in London” Naughton. I’m sure the quip-spitting lycanthrope is supposed to be entertaining, but it made me wish they’d stuck with the tried-and-true werewolf that – at least in monster form – lacks the power of speech. The cast appears to be a mix of actors from other horror movies (including Kimberly J. Brown, who has grown up a bit since Rose Red) and refugees from soft-core porn videos. While this was never going to be a three-star movie, it might have saved at least a point by not featuring a werewolf that appears to use four or five different suits depending on the camera angle. Or at least they could have avoided the graphic werewolf / sorority girl rape scene. See if desperate
