Turned into a werewolf, a man teams up with a group of hunters tracking down a race of vampires looking to reincarnate a vicious vampire queen that will overthrow humanity and bring them back to prominence.All-in-all, this one was pretty decent but could've been a lot better. One of the biggest strikes is the rather jumbled plot here, with a lot more going on than what really should be happening and hardly any of it makes any sense or really feels justified in it's inclusion. Even more troubling is the fact that there's not a whole lot of plot discussion given out as time goes on, rather it's all given at the end and never really does a good job blending it all together. That is somewhat made up for by the rather fun amount of confrontations here, since it appears to be a war going on with both sides and it definitely feels that way here, especially given the amount of bloodshed given on both sides as several of the extended encounters get quite bloody. While there is some fun to be had here with the resurrection scenes as well, it really can't overcome the jumbled mess of a story though.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity.

Despite it being SyFy, Wolvesbayne did have a decent premise going for it. But for me it fell well short. Wolvesbayne isn't completely terrible, the werewolf transformation is decent, Jeremy London does what he can with an uninvolving leading role(in terms of character that is) and Yancy Butler as the evil vampire queen is sexy and seems to be enjoying herself even if she does verge on hammy in places. However, the remainder of the acting is not great at all, Mark Damascos is badly used with his big scenes very poorly written and anti-climatic, while a lot of the female roles read of looking as sexy as possible but little else.There are cheaper SyFy movies out there certainly, but the special effects are dire and some of the make-up is cheesy looking. The editing is choppy, even in the battle sequences. The battle sequences themselves are a disaster, there is no tension or anything compelling, there are too many characters on screen, the camera work is often incomprehensible and so fast in construction that it is difficult to make anything out and they also go on for far too long. The random shots of models are also very hokey and add absolutely nothing to the movie. The scenery is not necessarily bad, though they do lack atmosphere, but because of the rest of the visuals being so bad I couldn't enjoy it.What also matters hugely into making a good film also fails utterly. That is especially true in the story. This story had a lot of potential as there are some good ideas here. What was frustrating however was the case with most SyFy movies that have good ideas, Wolvebayne does next to nothing with these ideas. Any important parts are rushed through, and a lot of not so important parts are ridiculously dragged out. I also struggled to see if there was a story at all, it took forever to get going and when anything did happen it just didn't make sense for me. The script is incredibly clunky, while the characters are cardboard cut-outs that we know nothing about by the end of the film. The lead role is no exception here, he had potential also but his progression goes nowhere.Overall, fell well short despite its initial promise. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Which goes for the plot, but also for the fact, that guy like Marc Dacascos would sign up for something like this. Of course it might have sounded better on paper (script). Still, if this were your first movie to see with him, you'd be excused if you thought, he shouldn't ever act again. That he actually has something to say, and also is not that bad in fighting (in movies), would be a fact that you'd miss out on. Maybe you should rent "Drive" instead.Apart from the thin characters and the very cliché story (no surprises here), there's also the weak FX and the poor production values. While everyone is of course trying to do there best, there is quite a few other films out there, that are worth to be noticed.

Wolvesbayne is yet another entry in a long series of B-science-fiction movies produced by the now aptly-called scyfy channel. While their films have been getting ever-so-gradually better, albeit at a very gradual pace, this film does some things right and other things wrong. Originally described on an epic level, the film actually felt like a lukewarm introduction to a series. Enter a world where vampires live alongside humans and the like on a relatively peaceful level but a few vampiric dissenters wish to raise an old vampire goddess to reign-in humanity under vampire rule once again. Fans of the werewolf genre will be interested in knowing that the main protagonists are werewolves but that fact plays little if any part in the progression of the film and little is seen of either character's wilder side. These characters team up with an incarnation of Bram Stroker's Van Helsing to stop the occult vampire clan from taking over the earth, but mostly do so while on the sidelines.It all sounds good on paper, but the film is ultimately a disappointment with a somewhat disjointed and lengthy progression of the story and characters that don't appeal much to the audience. Jeremy London as the mild-mannered and yet irritably selfish realtor turned werewolf protagonist does a fine job in acting out his role but ultimately turns- out in being an otherwise dis-likable and incredibly uninvolved character. It would've been nice to see more of Christy Romano as the bad-ass lycanthropic vixen Alex Layton but she too serves little in the story's progression. On the vampire side of things, I actually liked Yancy Butler's cheesy role as vampire queen, and Dacascos' did a sinister but equally cheesy take as the leader of the Germanic vampire clan. Otherwise, the film also featured some minor plot-holes: such as an un-explained werewolf minion of the vampires and other unexplained origins. In the end the film was well filmed and featured a fair amount of violent action alongside some decent yet brief special-effects, but ultimately barely entertained you as it led to a mostly expected and unremarkable finish that suggested either a sequel or series.
