Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf certainly isn't perfect; that being said, it's not that bad, either. It has numerous flaws and some of the actors looked rather mortified to be there, but come on, it's not as bad as the garbage coming out now like The Hunger Games and Frozen. It can't be denied that Night of the Wolf has imagination.The trick with movies like these is to not go in expecting some blockbuster hit, but to watch it from a comedic point of view. It's actually very hilarious, some of the lines. And the actors themselves were excellent, besides, William B. Davis (Dr. Parker) is one of the best actors out there, he's well-known for his role as the enigmatic Cigarette Smoking Man from The X-Files, among other roles. I kept picturing the Smoking Man during all his screen time in this movie; his sinister role in Night of the Wolf brings back a lot of memories watching The X-Files as a kid. All the actors/actresses put in evident effort, given what they had to work with, and it's nice to see other lesser-known actors getting some acting breaks, even in these TV horror movies, it's better than watching that Twilight crud or something.I can't say I'm a big fan of the stereotypical "looney bin" plot. I can tell you from experience that mental health facilities today aren't set up to be fun, but they are NOTHING like as portrayed in this movie. I really wish horror movies would stop using the cliché nuthouse plot all the time, I know it's just a movie and maybe I'm overreacting but in this day and age you'd think that sort of thing would have stopped back in the nineties with movies.The inmates in said hospital weren't exactly "evil." Oliver was pretty pervy and gross but sort of a hero in the story as well, when he saved the little girl (or attempted to), and without doing any strange pervert act with her. I liked Ben, despite his huge anger issues he didn't seem to want to harm anyone unless he was provoked. Mabel was a cannibal but came across as more comedic than scary, and Harold "the Wolf" just seemed frustrated and afraid once his wolf suit was taken from him. As for Dr. Parker, he goes from sinister to depressing as his true motives are discovered; the part about his father abusing him with electroshock and drownings in the past was actually pretty sad. The hospital is very unorthodox; Jamie (one of the main characters) is able to bring a Christmas present to Oliver (a pair of expensive shoes). He has a foot fetish and is known for cutting people's toes off. Jamie either has no one better to spend her money on than some nude perverted criminal, or she has a thing for Oliver. If you wanted to get really into the reality of things, psychologists and psychiatrists most often need to be mentally stable themselves in order to practice in that field. The abuse Parker suffered as a child would likely either be on record somewhere or would've come up before he was hired to work at the hospital. Then again, it's only a movie, if you go at it with to much seriousness it just isn't as fun to watch.I thought the soundtrack was pretty good and the wolf suit design was so cool! The special effects were pretty convincing, albeit not the best, and the police officer Johnny Morgan's past is filmed in flashbacks with a nostalgic yellow tint and film grain for effect, not bad. I don't understand why this movie has such low ratings, some people are saying that the acting was bad and that the effects were cheesy. Well, I'm not an actor but I've met one or two actors when I was publishing fiction novels, and from what I understand, if you're a lesser known actor trying to get a big break or an actor looking to make it in bigger movies, you take what jobs you can get, you don't pick and choose. Acting is a profession, just like selling cars or law enforcement or teaching. And maybe some of the actors in Night of the Wolf already knew it was going to be a lame Sy-Fy TV channel airing and just acted in it for fun, it's been known to happen. Not all actors are in it for the money, some just enjoy acting, hell, I'd love being an actress if I didn't speak in a monotone voice! As for people who say the movie was cheesy, well to each their own, but I love cheesy horror movies! I grew up with favorites like my hometown-filmed My Bloody Valentine (1981), Matinée (1989) and Sleepaway Camp (1983). I stand up for those classic slasher movies over box-office hits any day.Well,sorry for ranting about all that, I'm just sorta tired of people giving this movie such a hard time; it's not that bad! My brother, sister and I loved it, we thought it was entertaining, which is what movies should be about, not just making money but being something you can enjoy, even if it's a little cheesy and lame. I recommend it to anyone looking for a funny and creepy horror movie, watch it with an open mind and hey, at least if you end up hating it you have the opportunity to make fun of it later and laugh at the characters like Oliver and Mabel.

garbanzo5 This is a stinker of a horror movie. I don't know why but for some reason the horror movie genre tends to draw wannabe film makers and movie stars to it to do sub standard horror films. This horror movie is not scary at all and is even funny most of the time which is a bad thing because it is not trying at all to be funny. The plot is so awful you can't help but laugh. The beginning starts out all right and it seems like it will become a good scary movie but once the awesome wolf costumed killer is captured it gets stupid really fast. Basically a little red riding hood killer with a metal wolf costume who kills little girls gets put into an asylum, the power goes out and yadda yadda yadda you already know where this is going. There are good supporting actors in this but the lead (Detective Johnny) is maybe the worst actor I have ever seen, as other reviews here say he has absolutely no facial expressions let alone acting ability. We laughed out loud several times as he said his lines with zero emotions. The other lead is not much better as the doctor/his wife he is separated from. Also there are a lot of really stupid plot twists. For example one of the patients becomes a homicidal bull man whenever he sees the color red. Insanely bad movie.

Scarecrow-88 A psychopath dressed in an ironworks werewolf costume (while brief glimpses are often all we get, it is quite a really menacing metal wolf creation, with claws of steel even) killed a little girl. Her brother grew up to be a cop, and he is responsible (or so he, and everyone else thinks) for the arrest of the killer (but not before the killer murdered his partner, played by John Rhys-Davies (looking might gaunt)). The killer (or the one we are led to believe is the killer) is sent to the asylum of Dr. Robert Parker (William B Davis, who practically has "sinister" stamped on his forehead), who puts shock collars around the necks of the criminally insane! During a night of hell, the asylum suffers a "power outage", the cells become unlocked, and the loonies are free to roam. Our hero cop (the morose Andrew Cymek, who directed this film), his estranged doc wife (Brigitte Kinglesy), a fellow cop (WWE wrestler Christian), an attorney (Mercedes McNab), and the staff at the asylum (along with a little girl) are trapped in the asylum with the violent patients, with lots of mayhem ensuing. Not bad little low budget asylum horror flick has lots of human monsters on the rampage, including a giant behemoth that actually crushes a security guard's head in his hands, a woman named Mabel who likes to massacre bodies before chopping them up and cooking them (one of the cast gets his throat sliced, then mutilated as Mabel goes through how to cook him up as if a gourmet meal!), and the Wolf serial killer. The surprise regarding who the metal werewolf costume killer is will probably not surprise anyone because the film has a hard time disguising how guilty a particular character looks. The claws on the metalworks arms of the costume resemble Wolverine's adamantine ones and they do some serious damage, penetrating right through a victim who discovers too much when investigating Parker's files. The asylum is darkly lit for obvious foreboding, and the criminals of the film are appropriately ferocious/disturbing/unpleasant. William B Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man of The X Files) just has a hard time escaping typecasting in these kinds of movies; he rarely knows how to not look suspicious. He smirks at one scene when he purposely shocks a patient seemingly for kicks. Cymek casting himself as the hero is a bit much, but he's stoic and of few words, and there's no showboating (he even takes his licks when engaged in fights with nutty patients) involved. Mercedes and Brigitte are babes...Brigitte has a session with Mabel that reminded me of Sharon Stone from Basic Instinct (the way Brigitte crosses her legs in her really short skirt).

Tss5078 This movie started out great and had such potential, but like many similar films, it eventually falls flat. In the beginning, we are introduced to a killer known as the wolf. Using Little Red Riding Hood as a tool, he's been on the loose for decades. At the same time, we are introduced to a local hospital for the worst of the worst of the criminally insane. This part of the film, was pure genius, as they came up with criminals that are the things nightmares are truly made of. Eventually there is a power failure at the facility and both stories are brought together to make up a rather less than exciting conclusion. The film started out being so unique and tremendous, but eventually becomes nothing more than a slasher film, it was truly disappointing. As for the cast, they were all a bunch of no-names, but they did an adequate job. The really upsetting thing about this film was just how quickly it went from a gem to a turd, it's like the film was written in parts by two separate people.
