10 Pint Movies: WEREWOLF FILM REVIEW

Love Bite (2012)

Plot: Rainborough-on-sea a typical dead end English sea side shithole. Local lads Jamie (Ed Speleers) Kev (Luke Pasqualino), Bruno (Robin Morrissey) and Spike (Daniel Kendrick) have nothing to do but hang around the local fairground and chip shop, trying to crash parties and pull some women. Most of them are Virgins, which seems bad enough when your a teenager but it gets worse when its turns out virgins are a werewolves favorite meat and one seems to be on the loose.

While the others seem happy with there lives Kev thinks hes a stud, Spike is just a freak and Bruno's life long dream is to be a binman, Jamie wants something else, he works in his mums B&B (the awesomly MILFy Kierston Wareing) but dreams of traveling. During the party of local bike Donna (Kierston Wareing) he meets a sexy American travel writer Juliana (Jessica Szohr) she keeps disappearing and B&B Resident nutter and supposed werewolf hunter Sid (Timothy Spall) tries to concive him she is a werewolf and he must pop his cherry in order not to become her victim.

The Unbetweeners

Is it good: Its Ok, There is a lot wrong with this film but overall the acting is ok and the film is enjoyable enough for a Sunday afternoon I certainly wouldn't build your night around it. Timothy Spall really should have said no to this but he puts in a good shift as the weird werewolf hunter.

Jessica Szohr from Piranha 3D (2010) is incredibly hot and would definitely be worth being bitten for. The banana scene was awesome thanks!!

Turdige:Quite a lot. The film is basically a cheap knock off Inbetweeners with a werewolf shoved in. Bruno & Spike especially are total rip offs of Neil & Jay. Unfortunately its nowhere near the inbetweeners in terms of script the dialog its more like an updated carry on movie, the chip shop stuff especially was just wank.

The way all bananas should be eaten

The werewolf is just a side story really and its not handled very well.

Overall: If you loved lesbian vampire killers (2009) (there must be some) then you will like this. If you didn't I would get drunk & watch American werewolf in London, it every 30 mins and watch a bit of the Inbetweeners TV series.

Werewolf: The Beast Among Us (2012)

Plot: In 19th century Eastern Europe Werewolves are on the loose, Charles (Ed Quinn) a natural born Werewolf hunter leads a gang of professional killers to their next hunt. A beast that is decimating a remote village but this animal is more dangerous than any they have seen before a (born) Werewolf, able to think like a man and one that seems to have a purpose behind its killings.

In the village a young student doctor Daniel (Guy Wilson) wants to join the hunters to protect his girlfriend Eva (Rachel DiPillo). His mentor the doctor (Stephen Rea) is not happy with his choice and neither is Stefan (Adam Croasdell) the dapper English hunter with a nasty streak.

Will the cowboy hunter outfit regret taking this job which could mean death for all hunters.

Is it good: Yes, a B movie with a budget, some good acting (also some iffy don't get me wrong) The basic werewolf/hunter story develops into a descent mystery and a little twist near the end that adds a touch of bite to the story.

The effects are mostly CGI, the werewolf etc. but they stand up pretty well, the interaction between CGI and the hunters works well and the head exploding effects they seem to love are damn good.

The film plays out like an updated Hammer Horror with some added humor and gore.

Plus Rachel DiPillo looks kind of like Natalie Portman which is a bonus.

Turdige: There could have been much more action, since there was obviously some budget it may have been better to go all out on the gore. Also its a bit too bright & B Movie looking, it could have been done a touch darker/grimier I think it could have added to the atmosphere and move away from the Syfy channel look. (As its much better than that).

Overall: A better Werewolf movie than I've seen in a long while, with an actual plot and some great action/gore scenes. Its a bit of a low budget Van Helsing (2004). Give it a go.
