Regardless of how unknown, low-budget, and predictable this film might be, I still thought it was enjoyable enough. It was a different take on the werewolf legend than what the bigger pictures put out. The closest thing I could compare this to would probably be 'An American Werewolf In Paris' and even that one is a stretch, it just vaguely reminded me as having the same tone at times.Our two main leads, Chris Mathers and Stephanie Langton, both unknown to me pretty much, they are slightly recognizable, do a decent and serious job acting, and I thought they really made the entire thing worth watching from the get go. The directing and writing are both notable, I would say. And the cinematography is well done. Maybe I'm just partial to faux-documentary style flicks such as this one tries to be at times, but I really didn't think it was that bad at all. Some people don't enjoy movies that try to pull that style off, and I'll admit that the voice-over done by one character is pretty pointless, but this film is still a fresh and enjoyable take on an old legend. Something I would recommend to the horror fanatic seeking something new.WEREWOLVES: THE DARK SURVIVORS -----7/10.

This movie is one big voice-over. Almost a slide-show to go along with a speech. I think Bob McKee, the character from "Adaptation" says it best when he says, "...and God help you if you use voice-over in your work... It's flaccid, sloppy writing. Any idiot can write voice-over narration to explain the thoughts of a character." Could he have been talking about this film? He would be all too right. Film is a "medium of movement and image", which is sorely lacking in this one.There's little need to worry about spoilers when the movie itself does the spoiling. I predicted the ending too easily. Ultimately this is a pain to watch, and even more painful to listen to.I suppose it's okay if you want to lay down, close your eyes and listen to a movie.Ughk!
