Pretty Good
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This is honestly one of the funniest movies I've seen. The Deliverance scene/dream sequence had me rolling. This movie is kind of like the answer to the question: "What if Leisure Suit Larry was crossed with RuPaul."If you love campy low budget, this is the best!
"Curse Of The Queerwolf" isn't bad because it has an almost non-existent budget. It isn't bad because James Cameron isn't involved with it. It isn't bad because the actors are unfamiliar faces. This movie is bad because the script is awful.Any movie that relies on somebody killing a dog (not once, but TWICE!) for lots of laughs is pathetic in my mind. Puppies aside, this "film" is still terrible for a multitude of other reasons. Disgusting gay stereotypes, a scene stolen from "The Exorcist" and main characters who are a bunch of losers certainly don't add up to a quality movie.I'm just as game about watching independent films as the next guy. However, too many indie filmmakers feel that they have to be shocking or disgusting in order to stand out from the pack. "Curse Of The Queerwolf" certainly falls into that trap. 1/10
The best joke here is the one stolen from Crocodile Dundee (where it is used twice), that is, the first man impersonating a woman is played by a female actor.The problem is the homophobic stereotypes. Sure the film is trying to laugh at homophobes, but in reproducing untrue and unlikely details about gays and transgendereds (that are repeated by the gender insecure) it reinforces them. What it comes down to is: how funny is it? The more funny you find it, the less the homophobia matters. One also suspects that the jokes are funnier for people who are insecure with these topics. And when the jokes fall flat, one begins to wonder ...A must for fans of derrière-garde inauthenticity.
"Curse of the Queerwolf", the title alone should set you up for one of the funniest films of all time. Even though it wasn't, "Curse of the Queerwolf" could have very well been made by the same chaps who brought us "Airplane", "The Naked Gun", and all of those classics.Most people won't like this film due to the fact that it was made on such a low budget, but if they would take the time to watch it, they will see what they're missing.One of the things that makes this film so great is the only way one can kill a queerwolf. They never SHOW this, but you know what's going on.Anyone who can watch this without laughing is probably a serial killer.A film I wish I could have the brains to write. Out of 1-10 "Curse of the Queerwolf" gets a 10! A must see!
