A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Night Wolf" (R - 2010 - UK)Sub-Genre: Monster/WerewolfMy Score: 5.9Cast=6 Acting=6 Plot=5 Ending=7 Story=7 Scare=4 Jump=5 F/X=6 Monster=7 Transform=6As a storm rages outside, a group shores up for the night...cut off from the outside world. Something comes out of the driving rain and darkness. Something that holds a dark secret so devastating that in one night, it could wipe out the entire family. 'A deadly secret is coming home', reads the tagline to this run of the mill werewolf movie. The movie wasn't bad...basic story with no twists, decent gore, nice images...blah blah blah. The key to a great werewolf movie if in the transformation. The thing is, I don't remember a lot about it...that means it was pretty basic. So it's not a bad watch if you like anything that howls at the full moon.

I have to say that I was surprised to see that "Night Wolf" only had a 4.5 rating at the time of writing. I agree that it's no masterpiece - even in the horror genre - but keep everything in perspective. It's a low budget horror movie with a mostly little known cast, and it's a pretty tense little thriller for the most part. It starts with Sarah (played by Gemma Atkinson, who I thought did a good job) returning home to the family estate in England from the United States to visit a rather dysfunctional group of family and friends. Pretty soon, this group finds themselves being hunted down one by one by some terrifying, unknown creature.I thought the movie did a good job of sustaining suspense, and it was rather frightening at times. I didn't think the gore involved was gratuitous and - unusual for this kind of movie - there was no nudity that I remember. The scenes inside the estate as the group desperately tries to avoid the creature were very well done, and had a claustrophobic feel to them.Not really showing the creature was a good decision that added to the mystery of what was happening. The final revelation of who the creature was didn't come as a surprise. All in all, this was, in my opinion, pretty well done. (7/10)

13Hrs/Wolf Night – TRASH IT ( C- ) 13Hrs is one of the trashy indie horror movies we see from time to time. The story revolves around a girl who returns home after years to meet her family. She meets her half siblings and their friends, who are drinking in the barn. Suddenly they realize that there is something really strange roaming around the bran and their house. From there the hide and seek for their life starts. The story is acceptable but it's the presentation that bothered me. Low budget is understandable but bad lighting is not. It was sometimes really hard to even understand what exactly is going on in most of the gruesome scenes. The only thing nice in the movie is the friction between friends and siblings. Joshua Bowman (Reason I saw this movie), Gemma Atkinson, Isabella Calthrope, Peter Gadiot and Gabriel Thomson were good in their respective parts. Drunken Tom Felton is not a good thing to look at, he was over the top and not good at faking it. Overall, Trash it, the family mystery in it is not worth wasting time.

I thought this was a very interesting, engaging film. It is a bit predictable (and some of the special effects aren't the greatest), but I found it thoroughly entertaining and that is a lot of times difficult for me since I tend to over think and constantly critique the horror movies since they are my favorite genre of movies. The girl who plays Sarah is quite lovely and doesn't suck at all at acting, which is always nice since the heroine of most horror movies that aren't commercial seem to over act and annoy the crap out of me. Quite frankly the entire cast is quite nice considering the only guy I had ever heard of was the guy who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. Besides this, dude who plays Doug (Joshua Bowman) is quite handsome, so he made it very easy to watch the movie. Basically I enjoyed this movie, and recommend it for at least a try.
