A troupe of werewolf hunters travel from town to town, village to village, clearing out the beasts. Their latest prey is different, however, and seems to retain the intelligence of a man in its wolf-form. Can these hunters save
the village from the thing that's terrorizing them?
Oof. Most of the actors seem to be chosen for their looks or accent, rather than their acting ability. The one actor from the Vancouver acting pool that I know and like, Quinn, is in it far too little to make up for the wooden performances of the rest. There's about an hour of tired cliches, followed by some admittedly interesting twists, then more cliches and a rather idiotic ending clearly meant to invite sequels.
Other than the eyeroll count which was off the charts, there is very little to redeem this movie. One of the hunters chasing after the local doctor's apprentice's girlfriend and attempting to rape her seemed to have no place in the plot except to set up a twist later. There's a rather large brothel in a teeny, tiny village... I mean, it appeared to be the village's only industry. Just weird, whacked out script from the first scene.
I gave it a generous two out of five stars. I didn't *hate* it, but I would never ever watch this again. I'd recommend it if you're about to take a nap, and the gunshots won't keep you awake, but that's about it.
