Never Cry Werewolf (2008) Reviews

  • Enjoyable, But Still One of the Most Blatant Rip-Offs

    pv_kuhns2008-05-14

    I'm certain this will not be the only review of this film that will declare this, but this film, while enjoyable by the standards set by Sci-Fi channel movies, is one of the most unabashed rip-offs of a film I have ever seen. To confirm what others have said, YES, this film does indeed borrow every single plot device imaginable from the 80's classic, Fright Night. It does this to such an obvious extent, that it makes the movie hard to enjoy on certain levels. First and foremost, there is no real suspense, or even curiosity when you can instantly tell that you have seen everything about this movie once before. It follows the Fright Night blueprint so closely, that anyone who remembers anything about FN will instantly be able to guess ahead as to where this movie is headed. This may have been made as an ode to Fright Nite, but no such declaration is ever made, leaving me to believe that it is simply the result of a lack of imagination, and originality on the part of the filmmakers.

  • Average low budget Fright Night rip-off.

    poolandrews2010-06-12

    Never Cry Werewolf starts as the hunky Jared Martin (Peter Stebbings) moves into the house next door to teenager Loren Hansett (Nina Dobrey), at first he seems OK but while watching him through a telescope in her room Loren sees Jared kill a prostitute who is reported missing the following day. Slowly Loren comes to believe that Jared is a Werewolf, he has hairy palms & has a big black killer Dog for instance but no-one will believe her. Not her family, not her friend Angie (Melanie Leishman) & neither do the cops. Loren has to go it alone when it becomes clear that Jared thinks she is his dead lover Melissa as the two happen to look exactly the same. Jared kidnaps Loren's brother Kyle (Spencer Van Wyck) in a plan to get Loren to come to him so he can turn her into a Werewolf but Loren arms herself with a crossbow & decides to fight back in order to save herself, her brother, her friends & her town... This Canadian production was apparently called School Girl vs Wolfman in Japan & had the working title The House Next Door during production this was executive produced & directed by Brenton Spencer who clearly had little ambition other than to make a Fright Night (1985) rip-off, sure the twist here in Never Cry Werewolf is that it changes the menace from a Vampire to a Werewolf but other than that the two are strikingly similar with a little bit of Disturbia (2008) thrown into the mix. There's the teenager who comes to believe they are living next to some monster, here a Werewolf rather than Vampire but the premise exactly the same. No-one will believe said teenager, from friends & family to the authorities. Teenager turns to washed up late night cable TV host has-been, a horror show host in Fight Night while here it's a failed big game hunter but it basically the same in both films. Teenager decides to go it alone in both films & arms themselves with various homemade weapons to kill monster on it's own turf as monster threatens their friends &/or family, look Never Cry Werewolf is basically Fright Night. Period. The script doesn't take itself too seriously & to be fair to Never Cry Werewolf it's watchable & moves along at a decent pace, the character's are likable enough & while it's short on gore & effects I suspect that was down to the budget. Despite being a nearly invincible Werewolf this film suggest Jared has a fierce Devil Dog thing protect him, it seems a Werewolf a can change whenever they want if they have a charm made out of the skin from the neck of a convicted criminal for no apparent reason & Jared is afraid of a cigarette lighter. The special effects are cheap, the Werewolf effects are of the man in a hairy suit variety & the editing is poor as it's obvious the suit wasn't very good or didn't work properly. The CGI effects are alright, the mutant Dog is OK but nothing amazing & it does still look just like a computer effect. The gore is restrained, there's some blood splatter, an exploding Dog & the Wrewolf puts it claw through someones body but otherwise it's pretty dry. There's attempts at humour, tension & scare which are mildly effective I suppose. Filmed in Ontario in Canada this premiered on SyFy & then went to DVD, Never Cry Werewolf is better than the usual direct to video fare but could hardly be called great. The acting is alright, Nin Dobrey is cute for sure & she tries, Kevin Sorbo is fun while Peter Stebbings feels a little young for the role of the main villain. Never Cry Werewolf is an OK film actually, it's watchable enough & even quite fun on it's own merits at times but it is a straight rip-off of Fright Night with a little bit of Disturbia thrown in. Passable but not much more.

  • Not Bad

    wsmith-262008-05-12

    jdanvers is correct, a small part of the plot resembles Dracula. However, this movie more closely resembles "Fright Night". Here's why. Kid notices something is wrong with next door neighbor, and comes to realize neighbor is a werewolf (ok, in Fright Night the neighbor is a vampire). Nobody will believe the kid. So, the kid enlists a wacky TV star to help destroy the monster. In fact, the movie is almost a remake, just substitute werewolf for vampire. Having said that, I actually enjoyed this movie. The actors were attractive, the plot moved rather well, and the actor playing the werewolf was pretty good. The special effects weren't horrible, although I don't understand why the werewolf always breathed and drooled all over the intended victims for extended periods until they managed to get away. Overall, you could do a lot worse, especially for a Sci Fi Channel original.

  • Entertaining half-serious werewolf flick

    Wuchakk2012-06-17

    I don't get the lukewarm reviews as "Never Cry Werewolf" (2008) is a worthy addition to the werewolf genre. Yes, it rips-off the plot of a popular film from two decades earlier, "Fright Night" and, yes, it is a made-for-TV flick, but despite these factors it delivers as a half-serious/half-comedy werewolf flick. PLOT: A mysterious man (Peter Stebbings) moves in next door to teenager Loren (Nina Dobrev) and she concludes that he's a werewolf. Of course, no one believes her so she enlists the help of a washed-up reality show actor (Kevin Sorbo). Like I said, "Never Cry Werewolf" only plays it semi-straight, so don't expect the dead-serious vibe of, say, "wolfen" or even "Red Riding Hood." Stebbings is reminiscent of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine here and is excellent in the role. But he's clearly at least 36 years-old and so it's a bit disturbing that he's literally sniffing around a 16 year-old girl. Nina is good as the protagonist and has a cute look, but I prefer her friend in the story, Angie, played by Melanie Leishman. Melanie may not be as cute but she has better curves. In any event, her role is too small. As always, Sorbo is extremely likable. He plays a reluctant hero in this one. The film was shot in Brantford & Hamilton, Ontario, and runs 87 minutes. FINAL WORD: Although "Never Cry Werewolf" loses points for blatantly ripping off "Fright Night," the bottom line is that it's entertaining from beginning to end. The werewolf lore is sound and the cast is solid. In addition, the werewolf looks menacing and there's a lot of goofy gore. It's just a fun film. What more do you want from a low-budget werewolf flick? GRADE: B-

  • Corny Fun:)

    viciouslollipop2009-12-20

    For a Sci-Fi(I'm sorry, SyFy:)movie this was a pretty good amount of fun...if you dig 1.werewolf movies 2.corny horror and/or sci-fi movies you will enjoy this. It had a good amount of humor and didn't even bother to try and take itself seriously. The acting was decent and the characters were familiar archetypes, the effects weren't horrible(but they weren't stellar either), and it was just fun. Just remember it's a Sci-Fi flick so shut off your higher brain functions and enjoy...it's got werewolves!:) Lately Sci-Fi has been the "Disaster of the Week Channel" and totally veered away from monsters and creepy stuff, so this was nice to see...
