Big Bad Wolf (2006)

Boring

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Saw this on a dvd in 2007. Revisited it recently on a dvd which I own. The movie starts in some African jungle wher a hunter is attacked brutally by a creature. Cut the scene n we get to c a group of teens heading for a cabin inspite of being warned by a stranger not to go there. There is sufficient gore n a lil bit of nudity but the scares were zero. There is no tension n the worst part is the transformation scene. It looked like a cartoon from the 80s. In fact the transformation scene from An American werewolf in London is still one of the best. There is a scene where a man is supposed to retrieve the stolen report n jus run away but the level of stupidity is annoying when he jus keeps on lingering in the place knowing there is a werewolf around.

"Big Bad Wolf" (2006) indeed ranks with the best werewolf flicks. I wasn't so sure during the first half hour, which involves a group of college teens going out to a desolate cabin to party. The bulk of the group are unlikable frat trash and the film goes over-the-top with the gore, nudity and naughtiness as a werewolf attacks. There's also a semi-campy vibe that prevents the viewer from taking the material seriously; as such, it's thrilling, but not really scary.Like other viewers, I was surprised to see the cabin angle of the story end by the close of the first act. The typical horror flick would use this for the entire plot. I was like, "Where are they going to go from here?" Well, the two survivors start to suspect who the werewolf may be and join-up with someone else to end the werewolf's reign of terror.Despite the above negatives, everything comes together for an excellent werewolf flick. It all makes sense if you stick with it. For instance, why are Derek, the nerd, and Sam, the mechanic biyatch, the only two survivors of the original group? Sam comes off too-gruff at first, and it's a turn-off, but then it becomes clear that she was just able to see through the fakeness and superficiality of the frat trash and refused to take their sheet. Derek's the likable protagonist who's uncertain, but rises to the challenge when necessary. I found myself caring about these two and their potential relationship as the story progressed.After the first act, the movie becomes reminiscent of "Fright Night" in that it involves two teens -- a male and a female -- who suspect someone in the neighborhood of being a monster and hooking up with an older individual to take down the creature. Whereas "Big Bad Wolf" shares similarities to "Fright Night", 2008's "Never Cry Werewolf" wholesalely rips it off, just substituting a werewolf for a vampire (still, it's a really good werewolf flick).What impressed me with "Fright Night" was the hideousness and wickedness of the vampire; "Big Bad Wolf" does the same thing with the werewolf, but ups the ante. More than that, the werewolf retains the intelligence of the man to a large degree and can talk, which is an interesting addition to werewolf lore. It also makes the creature more interesting. Even more, they give dimension to the man who's infected by the werewolf curse. Later in the story it becomes clear that he WAS trying to keep himself from harming people when the full moon came. Yet this is contrasted by his basking in the curse whenever he becomes the werewolf. Good writing and attention to detail like this propels "Big Bad Wolf" to the head of the pack.There's a rockin' soundtrack and an an excellent number that plays during the end credits, "Shelter" by Green Vinyl Dream.I should stress that this is a hard R-rated film with some very crude moments, mainly because the werewolf is thoroughly evil and some of the youths are frat trash, but if you can look beneath its gruff exterior it's got a good heart and is a worthwhile experience.The film was shot in Semi Valley and Los Angeles, California, and runs 95 minutes.GRADE: A

Obviously, this movie is not for everyone. The reviews on this site already mention some of the characteristics that some would frown on. That being said this movie was awesome sauce. Talking werewolf: check. Stupid teens: mega check. Unnecessary nudity: check. This movie is good if you're a fan of campy B-movies. If you're a fan of classic slasher flicks where teens go off on their own only to find death and mutilation, this is definitely for you. Funny one liners, plot twists and good character development make this a fun watch. When I first watched this, I will admit I had low hopes but this was a pleasant surprise and re-watch it fairly often.

The movie is'nt boring i'll give it that but it is bad...and stupid... one notable flaw is that the werewolf speaks English and the werewolf is also a pervert as a human and as a werewolf i remember this one scene where before the werewolf kills a girl it rapes her... you can already tell its a stupid movie. The acting is decent not terrible but its defienetly not Oscar worthy to sum it up this movie is really bad even the way they kill the wolf sucks you want to know how? OK i'll tell you they burn the wolfs fur off and then shoot an arrow through its chest.......last time i checked (10 minutes ago) it had to be a silver bullet... to sum it up this movie sucks pretty badly and yeah 4\10 with a title of stupid
