Summary: Stephen King Can Learn From This...
Review: Let's hypothetically fantasize that we can leave this rat race environment, shuffle off to Ireland, and confine ourselves in an ancient home in the depths of an isolated land beyond reality. We move there, with our wife and two young children, to write a book...a book about our heritage and our roots. But what happens when you discover your roots are a little rotten...and that the quaint village is filled with horror...fear... animality...and decadence beyond belief? That's what "Wolfhound" is all about...a film about the bizzarre world of non-belief...wild dogs..."cool dogs" as the young daughter states. This one, based in Ireland, is a pure Stephen King look-a-like. It is a cross between "Sleepwalkers", "Cujo" and "Pet Sematary". It is a one-of-a-kind European horror classic that is strictly for adults. The innocent bride of the novel writer says it all when she tries to get her husband to make love in the confines of the isolated surroundings. "Just because we are in the woods, it doesn't mean you have to act like an animal," she says. He has no choice. This wicked envrionment, and film, is a masterpiece in its own right. It is a hauntingly original classic. If you like Stephen King flicks...you'll love "Wolfhound". On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest in the King scale), "Wolfhound" gets a solid 10. Remember...it's borderline NC-17 rated film...in other words...a very tasteful adult horror film...for your eyes only. Haunting...erotic...and a film you probably want to cuddle with your lover. Stephen King could learn a lesson from this classic. As with all movie reviews henceforward...I've also attached a picture of the letterbox. ENJOY! PAUL

Summary: Porn....Plain and Simple
Review: Okay, I wanted to like this movie, but I admit it was very disappointing. While I have nothing against folks who want to watch pornographic films, I do have a problem with them masquerading as horror movies. Wolfhound is nothing more than soft core porn with some bondage thrown in to titillate the audience.

As a fan of werewolf movies, I had hoped for more. When the couple found the set of chains and manacles in the neighbor's basement, I had to give this one up.

Recommended? No.

Summary: good idea, poor execution
Review: The video quality is a bit grainy. The transformation effects seem to have been made with poor quality morphing software. The few transformation shots are short. The extra features are few. The ending is lame.
