big bad wolf be another in a long line of attempt to make a good werewolf movie . this film try to give u a slightly different twist . instead of an all animalistic werewolf we get a werewolf that know who he be and what hes do and can shoot a wisecrack back atcha with well . let just say he try to be funny . the beginning start with a hunt in africa where a group of hunter be attack by the wisecracking canine . from there we flash forward year later to find out that one of the guy kill have a wife and son who be now be take care of by one of the guy on the hunt . say son decides to steal some key to his step dads cabin only to have most of the beginning cast get slaughter by the big bad one . think no one will believe them they decide to stick to a story about a wild animal kill them until the boy uncle and who be also on the hunting trip begin to come back into his life and confirm with him his bad fear . the killer be a werewolf . bbw try it best to rise above mediocrity even throw in some all to brief cameo from horror veteran clint howard and david naughton . it have a nice start to the film but when we get to the story you will have figure out the werewolf way before the middle act and your left with a lot of stupid decision making by some of the character to pad the running time ( ex . dna test ) . we do get an ok conclusion to this one but unfortunately for some viewer it may be too little too late . also let also not forget the trash talk and chick rap werewolf who try to be funny and at time may give you a slight chuckle but more than likely will give you a feeling of uhhhhhhh . in the end we do get a couple of nice gore sequence and a solid turn in from richard tyson and kimberly brown but in the end it just doesn not make the grade for me . though the film generally use prosthetics and blood pack there be one transformation sequence that use cgi and be not very convincing . those who be into freddy kreuger style killer or just love their werewolf may want to try this out a a rental a it be worth that . all others can skip this one by . my final score 4/10 represent below average represent though i do like that they limit the cgi and that there be some decent gore here and there some of it own hokeyness and middle act bogged this one down enough for me not to recommend this one to the horror mass but the select few who can overlook it shortcoming .
