There are moments in this low budget, hard scrabble werewolf horror/comedy when I was having a lot of fun. And there were moments where I was impressed by the incompetence. And there wAll Postsere moments where I was just bored. It’s kind of a mess… but I kind of respect it.
Wolf Hollow is about a film crew visiting a Kentucky backwater that gets attacked by werewolves.
Based on the editing nightmare opening scene, I thought this flick would be bottom-of-the-barrel garbage. But once it properly begins… well… the sound mix is off, the lighting is inconsistent, and the actors are all in different movies.
However, as a comedy and a werewolf movie, there are some genuine laughs and fun gags. It’s just not consistent enough for the fun bits to overwhelm the amateur and boring bits. Because, yeah, despite everything both positive and negative, its biggest sin is bogging down in its second half.
The practical effects are a mixed bag. The gore and splatter isn’t bad, especially when used for yuks. The werewolf could have been ok if it didn’t look like a particularly expensive inanimate Halloween mask.
I’ve seen worse movies and this honestly should be among them. But it tries real hard, I genuinely laughed a few times, and I kind of admire what they managed to pull off. If only they had the talent and the money to do better.
