This movie is terrible, but it is watchable. It's exciting enough to at least somewhat enjoy, even though you're laughing the whole way through because of how lame the plot and acting are. The Mystery Science Theater episode is just hilarious. I was laughing so hard at their commentary and the ridiculousness of the film that I had trouble breathing, like when the werewolf is staring at his girlfriend and someone (don't remember who, maybe Mike) says something like, "Now you just need to wear a long, loose dress and roll around in the mud for me." Previously, a stupid girl in a long dress saw the werewolf and ran OUT of the vehicle she was in, only to be chased by it and killed in the mud. 3/10 for the movie (even the non MST3K version is humorous) 10/10 for the MST3K version.

Guys, all your quotes were hysterical! Now I don't have to watch the movie again, thank goodness! It's taken me 12 years to get that "Zarindast stench" out of my home! Oh, by the way, the movie should be rated not 1 out of 10 but negative infinity to 10, of which it would obviously be rated negative infinity. And why does Tony Zarindast have so many "aliases," eh? Tony Zarin Dast | Mohammed T. Zarindast | Tony M. Zarindast | Mohammad Zarrindast. Kinda makes you wonder--unless you've seen one of his movies. Oh, and yes, he wrote the script for this one, as he did several others. Makes me want to do a sick search of what must be the other gems in his crown. Wait. I must have been bitten by a wairwilf to think I'd want to somehow see his other movies! Paul, stay away from me.... No, no silver bullets, Santa!! You is my friend!!! I pays the mortgage on time.... NOOOOOOOOO!

In Arizona, a bunch of strangely-accented scientists led by the psychopathic Yuri (George Rivero) comes across the skeleton of the Yamaglanchi (sic, who cares?), a Native American Werewolf. Yuri and his partner Noel (Richard Lynch) decide it would be fun to turn random people into werewolves, in hope that they might profit in. One of their victims is Paul (Federico Cavalli), a young writer who falls in love with research assistant Natalie Burke (Adrianna Miles). Also lurking around is Joe Estevez as a superstitious worker whose job is restricted to standing around looking frightened."Werewolf" is just plain bad. One of the most unintentionally funny movies of all time, it's about on the same level as an Ed Wood film or (God forbid) Manos: the Hands of Fate.Rather than do a comprehensive essay, I'll just list some stuff bitching about the movie's various shortcomings:What's with the accents? Granted, George Rivero is Mexican so I'll let him pass. But why are there so many Europeans running around Flagstaff? Are we supposed to think of them as Americans (it would appear so based on their surnames)? Sam the Keeper provided perhaps the funniest moments in the film, although I'm not sure why he felt compelled to tell Paul that "Count Dracula was a f*****", or where he got that information."Sleeping like a coyote, nose to anus." Thanks for sharing that...Worst werewolf make-up ever, or rather, not too bad in and of itself, but inconsistent. In some shots, he looks like a Lon Chaney Wolf Man, but in others, like an actual wolf. Can anyone say... CONTINUITY?The werewolves in this movie are totally lame. All of them except Paul die about five minutes after transforming. Tommy gets sucker-punched a few times by a security guard and later shot by Joe Estevez and his buddy with little more than a whimper. The security guard dies in a car wreck a few minutes after transforming. Paul gets the snot beat out of him by a random guy on the street, whom he chooses to engage in a martial arts contest rather than just gnawing on him. Kinda hard to be scared of monsters that can get their lunch handed to them by Joe Average (or Joe Estevez for that matter).I take back what I said before: the security guard lycanthropizing while driving his car was the funniest scene, not only in this movie, but in any movie ever. Did they REALLY think nobody would notice the full moon being in EVERY SCENE? Adrianna Miles' as the air-headed Natalie was too funny... "This is absolutely fascinating!" "You and Paul is in this for fame and fortune? But over my dead body!" To be fair, her biggest problem was probably her incomplete command of the English language. She reminds me of a much dumber version of one of my best friends in high school (who was herself a red-haired German, but also happened to be pretty smart).How did Natalie become a werewolf? Just a terrible film all around. Bad acting, bad accents, bad screenplay, lame werewolf. A very easy target for MST3K, and of their best efforts.1/10 for the movie, ten full stars for the MST3K lampooning.

This low budget werewolf film is amazingly less believable than the original Wolfman film, and of course is much worse. First of all, the special effects are really bad. The werewolf consists of a weird cat looking animatronic head that's mouth looked like it was cut open. The body was a guy in a suit so it looked like a weird cat bear. Everything from the film is stolen from every other werewolf film, especially the ending which is taken right out of the film "Wolf". Everything about this movie was cheesy, from the werewolf body to the wolf driving a car (is just stupid). The biggest star in the film is Martin Sheen's brother, and is this movie's only claim to fame. The only version of this that should be watched is Mystery Science Theater version.My rating: BOMB/****.
