Wolfhound (2002) Reviews
not a werewolf movie
'Wolfhound' is not a werewolf movie, per se, but it's not so terribly bad otherwise. It is filmed rather well for it's budget, IMHO. Yes there are transformations, but not into wolves...into dogs, particularly Irish Wolfhounds, thus the title. I actually thought the acting was rather good for such a production, especially the various sorts of 'local' people and most certainly Jennifer Courtney, playing the wife of the man who brings his family to Ireland to where his familial roots are. So, yes there is mystery, but not really any horror, so to label this a horror movie is a just a bit of a stretch. More of a fantasy. And keep in mind that not everyone who is a shapeshifter turns into a dog, some are birds, some foxes, etc. I should note that the animals who are in the film actually are filmed well enough to convey that they ARE acting, which, for animals, can be a bit rare. However, a good portion of the film is spent showing the '95 Playmate Of The Year, Julie Cialini. She is the main shapeshifter who entices our leading man. Yes, her physique is what is obviously on display here. Was this created as a vehicle for her? Hope not. Poor thing, she really can't act. Especially for a character who's supposed to have lived in this Irish village all her life, she sounds like an cheerleader from the U.S., you know, somewhere in the mid-west. Overall, if you are interested in werewolf movies, this is not one. See only if you a) don't mind soft porn b) are interested in fantasy-mysteries involving concepts such as shapeshifting.
A refugee from 1972 drive-in cinema
In 1972, Wolfhound might have made a decent "bad" drive-in movie for teenage boys. They could ogle the hot naked chicks when they were on screen, then hoot and holler at how awful everything else was. In 2002, there were too few drive-in movies and too much readily available porn for Wolfhound to serve any purpose whatsoever. It has a plot that would bore the pants off an 8 year old. You've heard of dialog that sounds better on the page? This dialog would sound better as sign language. The acting here more closely resembles the amateur ventriloquism of a sociopath. Colum Kennedy (Allen Scotti and yes, the character's name is Colum, not Colin) is an American writer who returns to his boyhood home in Ireland to write a book about his family history. He's dragged his much less attractive wife Stella (Jennifer Courtney) and his two kids along with him. It's a little hard to describe the rest of the story because quite a lot of the story is only alluded to and never definitively told. Characters are frequently making references to things that never happen in the film nor are even explained. Basically, it's a journey of self-discovery where Colum has sex with a Irish Wolfhound that morphs into a hot naked chick (Julie Cialini) in order to discover the Irish Wolfhound in himself. That sounds like the greatest Guinness commercial ever but trust me, it makes for an awful motion picture. Julie Cialini is very pretty and has a great head of hair. She can't act, not even enough to fake a terrible Irish accent, but she looks great with no clothes on. It's difficult to evaluate the rest of the cast because they give such emotionally discordant performances. The feelings they project don't match up with the words they say or the situations they're in. The most notably ridiculous thing about this movie is the lengths gone to in order to make the Irish Wolfhound look like a menacing animal. I'm not sure if it's the nature of the breed or the dogs in this film were all drugged, but these are the least threatening animals you've ever seen. The meerkats from Meerkat Manor on Animal Plant have a more vicious appearance. A few times when they try to show a dog baring his teeth, it sure seems like they just shoot a close-up of the end of his snout while someone's hands off screen pull on the dog's upper lip to make it look like he's snarling. Wolfhound is badly written, badly directed and apparently badly acted. There are plenty of moments with Cialini in her birthday suit, including one where she's joined by an even more attractive and bustier woman. Every known copy of this movie should be transferred onto film and shipped through the Time Tunnel back to 1972 where it could do some good for packs of dateless teenage smartasses on Saturday nights. There's no need for it to exist in our time.
Very poor production.
Well, this movie, to tell the truth, is a total crap. No story, no acting, no mature screenplay... just sex which covered 50% of the movie. The director made a blunt effort to insert some plot with that morphology-changing ability of the villagers but that turned out to be a sheer flop. The actors, especially the child ones, are not worth to mention. Julie Cialini, the "star" of the film did her part, which consisted of nothing hard, well. The cinematography is horrible and senseless. Some childish special effects are also seen. Two things are worth for a brief notice about the film. One is shooting location, which is nice; and the other is the background music during sex scenes. But if you're going to waste your bucks just for that, I have nothing more to say.
Utter Tripe
I got this movie out of the bargain bin for a laugh, and honestly a laugh is all you can get out of this. The plot in a nutshell: American family re-locate to Ireland, man gets fusty over a hairy mutt and with the added extra of cheap Sinclair Spectrum style morphing the dog changes into a woman, he gets bedazzled by her baps and ignores his family to go off for a romp with her. All is well (unless by this point the cheesy porn music doesn't make you want to pull your ears off)until this hairy geezer shows up, with may I say equally bad acting, he wants to romp with the American's wife, but she is having none of it, in the end you get to see more Spectrum special effects, a woman changing into a robotic style bird with horrendous flapping wings and more crap music. There are more bad mistakes in this film that makes it more funny than making you want to get anything aroused by the woman's gyrating and boobs fwapping all over the place. For instance, she is supposed to be Irish and not have any luxuaries, yet when she does take her clothes off and actually speaks you can see she has very distinct tan lines and she has a strong American accent. All in all this film was fun for a laugh and making this review, I recycled the box for another DVD and the disc itself has ended up a rather artistic drinks coaster.
Total crap!!!!!
I try to be positive when watching a movie. I usually don't bring many expectations to the table. Generally, I can find something worthwhile in any movie I watch, even when the movie sucks ass. However, except for the ample cleavage, this movie totally sucks in every department. The acting is very amateurish all around, the writing is poverty-row (at best), the cinematography is quite poor in a lot of places (lots of out of focus shots), and the "special effects" are laughable. Plus, this movie has a couple of the worst child actors I've ever seen! Damn!!!! I wanted to smack them every time they appeared on screen. I walked into this with an open mind, but for all my efforts, I just ended up getting robbed of money and 80 minutes of my life that I'll never get back!
