Ouch, my brain.
Our story begins on the site of a mysterious archaeological dig, in which a group of guys find something and then start fighting for some reason. Anyway, it's some kind of werewolf skeleton thing. Thankfully, the head archeaologist dude is an expert on werewolf mythology. This doesn't, however, make him smart enough to realise that one of the team is clearly infected with lycanthropy and needs to be put down. Oh, well. Some of the team, however, do figure it out and arm themselves with silver bullets so that when he escapes from the hospital and goes on a rampage they are well prepared and take him out. But that's not the end of the story. Unfortunately. Our lycanthropic skeleton is moved to a lab, where an evil fella decides that he's going to resurrect it in the name of science, progress and generally evilness. Cos that's a real good idea. And for some reason it involves infecting a security guard and then sending him out to run riot in the city. Hmm.
From this point on, believe it or not, the movie gets even sillier. But on the plus side it has an evil professor named after me. Yay! It's not the worst werewolf movie I've seen by a long shot. It's almost one of those entertainingly bad movies, I mean it starts off promisingly but then just becomes genuinely bad. It's slow-moving, dull, predictable ... there's little to say that's good about it in the end. As for the movie-making side of things, it's poorly edited, poorly acted and generally shoddy. How can you have this many people involved in a movie and not one ounce of talent? Didn't anybody stand up during production and say, "hey, is it just me or does this movie suck?"
The movie goes absolutely nowhere, and its a complete mess. There's a total lack of any proper narrative, so you don't give a damn about any of the characters, and the plot is so full of holes you could drain a pan of rice with it. I got nothing. The screenwriter couldn't even construct english sentences, and apparently neither could the actors, who mostly speak like Arnold Scharznegger on a bad day. Anyhoo, this isn't a movie I can really recommend, but if you feel the urge then you may want to check out the MST3K version for some good laughs.
