Very bad genetically messed up wolf horror movie...
28 October 2021
1st watched 10/26/2021 - (Dir-Fred Olen Ray): Very bad genetically messed up wolf horror movie. It starts in a lab where a guard and a night-time operator share a laugh or two while keeping an eye on a growing creature locked-up(for now). A preposterous beginning for a pretty much complete waste of time as a total movie. The creature escapes (whoops!) and goes on a killing spree devouring innards with every victim. And than, of course, you have a handful of crazy folks who want the creature kept alive for supposedly, the greater good. Of course, this is a government program trying to grow a perfect killing machine from an old-time wolf and a human. Maxwell Caulfield plays a straight-laced, country sheriff in the town where this is happening. There are a couple of funny bits where his obsessive compulsive acts get the best of him(similar to Monk - who portrays this much better, in my opinion). Blake Griffith plays his foster child and is kind of a park ranger who has a thing for one of the girls in peril. The gang tries to work together with some fake FBI agents hired by the government to capture this animal. This is one of those movies where it was easy to predict what was happening(which makes for a boring experience). Directed and co-written with the star Maxwell Caulfield by a kind of trash film-maker in Fred Olen Ray - so, what did I expect, I guess. Anyway, definetly one to bypass unless you just like seeing innards being ripped out over and over again.
