Synopsis:
Tom, a rich guy with a looooooot of free time on his hands, decides he wants to hunt a werewolf. After rigging the forest surrounding his house with cameras and guards, Tom invites a group of people to spend the weekend at his house. But not without an ulterior motive, he believes one of his guest could be a werewolf.
For the rest of the movie, the viewer is led on a wild .... wolf chase (wince) as to who could be the werewolf. In the end, it doesn't matter, because the stupid werewolf is a medium sized dog with a wool coat on. No, I'm not kidding.

One of these eight people will turn into a werewolf. Can you guess who it is when we stop the film for the WEREWOLF BREAK? See it ... solve it ... but don't tell!
It was Fox who gave us the pleasure of viewing this gem.

That damn black dog. That's all I can think about from this movie. Why the director thought it looked like a warewolf I'll never know, but he did. There was nothing about this movie that screamed "Warewolf" and don't rent this if you DO want a warewolf movie; it'll make you cry. In fact, don't rent this at all...

I'm thinking, in another universe somewhere, this idea would have eventually come out to be a great movie. With the 'who's the werewolf' mystery element, and some sort of surprise ending, it would have turned out to be a great thriller, and the wonderful special effects of the werewolf would astound all.
Unfortunately for my brain, this is Earth. And on Earth, a movie named Black Werewolf (a.k.a. The Beast Must Die) was made instead. And, it sucks. As aforementioned in the synopsis, the 'werewolf' is a dog that is wearing a wool coat. It's not scary, it's not cool, it's completely stupid, and they show way too much of it (at 'nighttime,' which means the sun was directly overhead). The tagline even lies! There are multiple werewolves! And before the great mystery is revealed, they show a clock so you can guess before it's revealed or something. I don't know, I hate this stupid movie. Please, for your good family's namesake, don't watch this. You will be marred forever.

Why oh why did they make this movie? I'm confused as to where the werewolf is going to come in to play. This was especially hard to believe such a cute puppy dog is a killing machine. Not only being confused by the difference between a dog and a werewolf, the makers of this film couldn't figure out the difference between night and day. A dirty filter on a camera does not make it night, nor does it make a good movie. A big "don't do it" to anyone thinking of watching this movie. Isn't it enough that we suffered through it so you won't have to?

Acting - no
Werewolves - no
The color black - no
Point - no
Random fade outs- yes
Extreme chase sequence at...oh, 25 MPH or so, with ultra groovy background music!
Teleporting axe!
Blank screen on "TV's."
Full moon at noon?
Shiny black pleather helps you sneak around better at "night" I guess.
It's just a dog! Wearing a wool coat?
He ate just his eye.... very wasteful werewolf.
Ok, come on, they aren't even trying to pretend it's nighttime anymore!
Why did he just kill the cameraman?
Love the unelectrified electrified fence.
Arthur - "I don't have to take that kind of talk from you."
Tom - "You just did."
Caroline - "What if the werewolf turns out to be me?"
Tom - "........POW!"
Tom - "My pilot had has throat ripped out by ONEOFYOU!"
Tom - "Has to be yooooooouuuu."
Do. Not. Watch. This. There is nothing here that you can't find from watching paint grow and grass dry, so don't bother!
