Never Cry Werewolf (2008 TV Movie)
5/10
Could have been so much worse than it was
6 November 2012
I would be lying if I said it was a great movie, but for SyFy it is tolerable and much better than it should have been. Okay, there are one too many parts of the story that are predictable and derivative of Fright Night, the editing is very fragmented, the special effects are rather cheap-looking(but I have seen far worse actually), the direction is much too straight-forward to be convincing and some of the killings are weak in thrills and over too quickly. On the other hand, the scenery and locations are actually quite spookily atmospheric, and the music is also fitting with the tone of the film with some tongue-in-cheek moments. The dialogue is never going to be nominated for an award for Best Screenplay but it is much less cheesier and stilted than most SyFy movies and there are scenes that do have at least some fun and suspense. The characters are clichéd, but are nowhere near as annoying as so many other characters in SyFy movies. The acting is better than average, I agree to some extent that Peter Stebbings is rather on the young side to convince completely as a villain, but Kevin Sorbo especially is good. So overall, mixed on the whole but it is far better than it could've been which could have been far worse. 5/10 Bethany Cox
