Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

nephihaha Fairly average low budget monster romp, with the Doctor actor from Star Trek Voyager (Robert Picardo) and some native American stuff thrown in.Evil oilman wants to drill on Indian land, Indian spirit of giant wolf gets revenge. Woman gets saved etc.The wolf effects are cheap, the environmental message is a bit trite, and the native Americans are cliché, but hey it's what you expect.It's not worth buying on DVD, but if it's on the television and you have some time to kill (no pun intended), you might find it quite a fun way to spend an hour and a half.I think my favourite bit is when the villain tells the Indian chief that his views are "unamerican"!

TheLittleSongbird I do have an in general intense dislike for Syfy's movies, so I was expecting Monsterwolf, judging from its somewhat cash-in title, to be of poor quality. Actually, Monsterwolf was better than I expected. The film does have some good photography and scenery, had an interesting idea and the film does start off very well. However, as an overall film it is not very good. I did like the idea very much, but the story here is executed in a ridiculous and predictable manner, complete with some inane ideas such as how the guns were handled and the whole back-story involving Maria. The film for Syfy doesn't look too bad photography wise, but while the effects are not as shoddy as you would expect they are largely inconsistent with the design of the wolf throughout being rather hit-and-miss. On top of that, the script is often generic, the characters are cardboard cut-outs and the actors overall don't connect to their characters. The direction is derivative too, and while not as meandering or as boring as other Syfy projects, the pace particularly in the middle can be dull. All in all, better than I thought but in all honesty it isn't a good movie. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Paul Magne Haakonsen For a TV movie, then "Monsterwolf" wasn't too bad. Well, let me rephrase that, it could have been worse.The story told in "Monsterwolf" is sort of interesting; a spirit wolf is summoned to seek revenge for a wrong-doing against native Indian people. And the wolf is indestructible. Now, I am not overly familiar with Indian lore and legends, so I have no idea whether to be skeptic or embrace this idea. But as for a movie plot, it worked well enough."Monsterwolf" wasn't too shabby on the effects and CGI. Sure there were moments where the wolf looked kinda weird, but in general it worked well enough.The cast in "Monsterwolf" was also good enough, for this particular type of movie. The movie was carried on the shoulders of Jason London (playing Yale) and Marc Macaulay (playing sheriff Bennett). There were other good actors/actresses on the list as well, but London and Macaulay were the ones most memorable."Monsterwolf" isn't particularly scary despite it being listed as a horror movie. I will go as far as saying it is not even a thriller. But still, the movie did keep me entertained for the entire feature length. However, it is not the type of movie that I will be making a second time back to.

thegene-2 This film gets a solid 9 for a MADE FOR TV movie. A quick rundown. The actors are very good. The movie theme is very good. The scenery and locations are very good. The filming is very good. The characters are very good. I probably should put an extra "very" in front of everyone of the previous descriptions as it is all that good.The movie keeps you interested from start to finish. There were only two minor problems that I found. For those that expect top level graphics, they will not be found here as it often is with many lower budget movies. However, it distracts very little from the movie as it is the characters and story that are the main focus. Though the special effects are far from great they are masterly handled to the point that it is a very minor thing. Don't get me wrong. The quality is not all that bad, but it is not Blockbuster movie level which it does not need to be. A more significant minor problem is that whoever wrote the story seems to have the belief that the even an average mind will not pick up on the fact that all these out of the ordinary things are happening but no one in the film seems to pick up on that fact that they are out of the ordinary.Of course I must say that I am very oriented to logic. While I can accept wild non fact based theories as being possible, once one steps into the realm of fairly unbelievable, my mind reacts negatively. In other words I can believe that intelligent life can exist elsewhere in the universe. However, I cannot believe any statement that says 90 percent of the people in the United States do not believe that Coke and Pepsi are soft drinks. The first statement about alien life seems very possible to me, the second does not. Of course this is just one man's opinion, so do watch this movie as it is very entertaining for SCI-FI fans.
