Never Cry Werewolf

Essentially a remake of "Fright Night", this is a decent little low-budget flick that takes the premise and makes it its own. The cast is excellent, the pace is steady, and the camera work is surprisingly good without any annoying attempts at "artistic" shots copied from bigger films. Formulaic in a good way, it mostly avoids feeling cliche', and, despite a few relatively non-disturbing gore effects and just one F-bomb, would make a great Halloween watch for the family. In fact, it would make a great double bill along with "Fright Night", as it is just different enough to make an interesting alternative take on the same theme and invites a side-by-side comparison. A B-movie to be enjoyed in a non-ironic way, I recommend it.

Reminiscent of the plot of the original "Fright Night" but instead of a vampire, a werewolf. No cheese here. Solid horror, and great acting for a B movie. Fans of Nina Dobrev should check it out. Never Cry Werewolf has the sexy, mysterious neighbor. The innocent, inquisitive teens. The absent mother. The hooker victims. The TV animal hunter/would-be-hero (similar to Peter Vincent). If you liked Fright Night, you should really check out Never Cry Werewolf. I'm a werewolf lover. For me, there can never be enough werewolf flicks. This one is definitely in the front row of my "To Be Watched Again & Again" DVD's.

4 stars, Creep Factor: One scene is creepy but not because of the monster, Ending: Fun!!, Gore: Some Wow, this was a FUN movie! Everything a B movie should be - campy, scary, dorky, & just plain fun! Did I mention I have a soft spot for werewolf movies? Plot is basically a rip off of the Fright Night movie from the 80s. A new neighbor moves in next door & something is off. The 16 year old girl proceeds to spy on him with her brother's telescope. (Of course, no thought about how illegal this is.) She then breaks into his house. (Again, isn't this illegal?) She decides her neighbor is a werewolf but nobody believes her. Surprise! Also, the werewolf decides she is his next great love interest/mate. (More creep as he in his 30s & no thought on how illegal this is.) As you can see, this is definitely a straight-to-DVD movie with no studio editing for acceptability. But it's FUN! The girl seeks help from a famous t.v. hunter (who is Kevin Sorbo from the Hercules t.v. show). Of course, the hunter is an actor & knows nothing about hunting. A blast from the past giving a nice role to an actor who is no longer in the spotlight. There are little homages to other movies such as Aliens & so on. And the whole movie feels like they blended about 30 types of horror movies together & got this stew. Over the top scenes: (1) demon familiar of the werewolf ends up in a gun store & begins to rampage. Of course, everyone grabs a gun & starts firing at it. (It's a hunting store!); (2) final showdown in the werewolf's house/lair includes the girl, her brother, her love interest who is 1/2 werewolf at the time, the t.v. hunter, and... the werewolf. This movie was totally crazy & totally fun except for a brief scene with the girl & the werewolf. Leave your brain at the door & ride the roller coaster. You'll love the scene of the werewolf eating some homemade soup. Gross...

This was Nena Dobrev's first job after leaving Degrassi. It's a fun, sometimes funny, horror movie about a werewolf longing for his dead mate, who happens to lok just like Dobrev's character (previews of "The Vanpire Diaries" anyone?). Kevin Sorbo plays a big game hunter/actor/coward who gets guilt tripped into helping Dobrev with her wolf problem. He shows up with a silver plated shotgun and is shocked to learn it must be the bullets that are silver. Watch this movie, enjoy it, but don't expext to be scared by it.

When I first heard about this movie,I wasn't sure I would like it since I've never been one for werewolf movies. I wasn't disappointed! Kevin Sorbo does a great job of playing a guy,down on his luck,who gets a chance to do something to change his life,but yet is reluctant to do so. Yet he takes the challenge to prove to himself what kind of man he really is. As for the young girl,she was good. Kudos to the special effects people for a dynamite job on the werewolf head-it was down right scary! I recommend this to any Sorbo fan and to anyone who likes werewolf films in general.

Sat down with very low expectations- due to a flood of poorly acted, scripted, and filmed werewolf films! In contrast, this one was feasible, plausible, and very scary! Buy it and see for yourself! Amen!

This is a campy movie, but worth it. Good plot and Kevin Sorbo and Nina Dobrev are worth it. Just good plain fun.

To be honest, I only bought it because the movie featured Nina Dobrev. However, I ended up really having a good time. We all know the guy next door is a WereWolf (the photo on the cover gives it away). The supporting cast even features Kevin Sorbo (a Si-fi fan fav) as a phony WereWolf hunter, the movie is just plain fun and there is good action as well.
