I caught it On Demand, sort of. Oh GOD was it boring. After staring at a bunch of characters basically doing not much of anything for an hour I literally fell asleep.

What is up with orc werewolves these days?

Someone should call Sauron to bring them back to Mordor... sorry, I've lost his phone number.

I wish more art books would be released for these types of mediocre/shitty movies.  It would make it easier to figure out what they did wrong during the concept phase.  I'm not sure what I would use for better reference material though, if I had to design a werewolf.

I've seen some of that artwork out there, and in most cases it is very good. The problem is when the producer enters in, and decides to save some money in the werewolf costume/transformation. And the result is the typical one. Bad, extremely bad. They still don't know that even with good acting/script/photography/direction or the sum of them all in a werewolf movie, if the werewolf fails, then does the whole movie.

Weeeell, I must confess that there are some exceptions out there. For example, Dog Soldiers is perhaps the best mainstream werewolf movie in the last 15 years, and the werewolves looked like tall people with stuffed wolf heads in. And better not to say anything about the TFs... I mean, the nonexistant TFs.

WHY DOES EVERYONE NEED A FREAKIN' TRANSFORMATION?

Cause that's kind of the whole point of it being a werewolf and not just some random hairy monster!

WHY DOES EVERYONE NEED A FREAKIN' TRANSFORMATION? That could cost loads. Here's a clever idea, just have the camera show a victim's reaction to hearing a snarling sound. Also a cheap thing to do is that haunted house trick where you have a trick of light that transforms a person into a werewolf.

The only thing I didn't like about Dog Soldiers was the bell bottom feet. I know this is not the right post but are we gonna get a sequel to this movie or what? (DS 2)

I've told you... it is HALF of the movie. And I'm sure that most people here agree with me.
