Wolfhound Audience Reviews

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
MBunge In 1972, Wolfhound might have made a decent "bad" drive-in movie for teenage boys. They could ogle the hot naked chicks when they were on screen, then hoot and holler at how awful everything else was. In 2002, there were too few drive-in movies and too much readily available porn for Wolfhound to serve any purpose whatsoever. It has a plot that would bore the pants off an 8 year old. You've heard of dialog that sounds better on the page? This dialog would sound better as sign language. The acting here more closely resembles the amateur ventriloquism of a sociopath.Colum Kennedy (Allen Scotti and yes, the character's name is Colum, not Colin) is an American writer who returns to his boyhood home in Ireland to write a book about his family history. He's dragged his much less attractive wife Stella (Jennifer Courtney) and his two kids along with him. It's a little hard to describe the rest of the story because quite a lot of the story is only alluded to and never definitively told. Characters are frequently making references to things that never happen in the film nor are even explained. Basically, it's a journey of self-discovery where Colum has sex with a Irish Wolfhound that morphs into a hot naked chick (Julie Cialini) in order to discover the Irish Wolfhound in himself. That sounds like the greatest Guinness commercial ever but trust me, it makes for an awful motion picture.Julie Cialini is very pretty and has a great head of hair. She can't act, not even enough to fake a terrible Irish accent, but she looks great with no clothes on. It's difficult to evaluate the rest of the cast because they give such emotionally discordant performances. The feelings they project don't match up with the words they say or the situations they're in.The most notably ridiculous thing about this movie is the lengths gone to in order to make the Irish Wolfhound look like a menacing animal. I'm not sure if it's the nature of the breed or the dogs in this film were all drugged, but these are the least threatening animals you've ever seen. The meerkats from Meerkat Manor on Animal Plant have a more vicious appearance. A few times when they try to show a dog baring his teeth, it sure seems like they just shoot a close-up of the end of his snout while someone's hands off screen pull on the dog's upper lip to make it look like he's snarling.Wolfhound is badly written, badly directed and apparently badly acted. There are plenty of moments with Cialini in her birthday suit, including one where she's joined by an even more attractive and bustier woman. Every known copy of this movie should be transferred onto film and shipped through the Time Tunnel back to 1972 where it could do some good for packs of dateless teenage smartasses on Saturday nights. There's no need for it to exist in our time.
Johann Wolfhound is a supernatural thriller type film. There's plenty of nudity, although the violence was a little lacking. It also seems that the film makers didn't follow through with all of their plot ends or ran short on funds or some other such nonsense (I will elaborate below).Colum is a young writer with a family. He moves his wife and kids back to his home town in rural Ireland so that he can concentrate on writing a book. As the film drags on (I stress that it drags), Colum's wife begins to realize that her husband has been keeping a secret from her all these years. While staying in Ireland, Colum begins hooking up with an Irish Wolfhound that can transform itself into a beautiful woman (you'll just have to take my word on this one). The woman is trying to help him remember that he is also a wolfhound and that his human form is only one side of him. As a matter of fact, the entire populace of the village are actually animals that take human form. Colum has to realize his animal powers in time to save his wife from the local bully.The real problem that I've got with this thing is that they didn't really explain some things that they should have. I can forgive not knowing what happens to the hero at the end of the movie and the minutia that is only kind of a cute sub plot. However, in this thing they frequently mention that Colum's parents died in their late twenties and they don't say how or why he moved out of the village. We can assume that his parents met an untimely end. However, they stress the death of his parents being such a turning point and it is never really adequately explained. They also never fully explain the gorgeous woman wolfhound's relationship with him. She mentions that she's been waiting for him to return, but why? We don't know why or when he left, so there's nothing really to gauge his past on. I don't mind ambiguity in films, but still. It looks like they tried to make a modern day Hitchcockian film, but royally screwed up.
Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought the unrated DVD. I saw that Julie Smith was credited in the cast as "Fantasy Woman". That sounded about right. She shows up near the end in a fantasy three-way with the main character and Regina Russell. Russell and Smith looked like they flew straight off the set of "Bad Bizness" to help add some life to "Wolfhound". They must have taken the Wolfhound Express. They were both sporting the exact same hairstyles from their previous intimate rendezvous. This sex scene was excellent. Another Julie Smith triumph. It was also the only thing that stopped me from throwing this DVD into the garbage can where it belongs.Wow. Talk about shamelessly cheap. "Wolfhound" is an out of control rip-off. The filmmakers should kiss the ground Smith walks on for saving their movie from complete destruction. Based on the DVD cover, you would expect "Wolfhound" to be some sort of werewolf flick. The cover has a hot blonde with her head tilted back transforming into a wolf creature. The tagline is, "Beware the Beast within". But alas, the joke is on us. She is actually turning into a wolfhound. A wolfhound is: "Any of various large dogs, such as the Irish wolfhound or the borzoi, trained to hunt wolves or other large game." Yes, you read that right. She turns into a big, scruffy, mangy dog.So this family moves to Ireland. There are lots of wolfhounds around. The main character keeps seeing one hound and wants her bad. This particular Wolfhound turns into a hot naked supermodel that wants a lot of sex. Isn't that always the way? Soon his hound dog sex will drive a wedge between him and his wife. This all leads to a very unexciting conclusion."Wolfhound" stinks. Even with a village full of shape shifting wolfhounds, they still couldn't manage to pull off one exciting death or action scene. Unless you'll watch Julie Smith in anything, let this hound go.
lipvixen I have never seen a more annoying bunch of actors in one movie. Lucky guy, talk about license to cheat with hot chick. "just trying to save your life oh wife of mine". Acting was bad and they wasted what could have been a good plot. What was with Miss Julie's accent? Too valley girl American which was a shame because everyone had an authentic accent. The wife was annoying too with her constant chattering and over-acting. The man was trying too hard to be intense he just appeared to be a morose loser.No eerie effects or mystery just all out soft porn. Sadly, this wasn't even titillating. Got the VCD as a freebie buy 3 get 1 free. Still felt like money burned though! They should have paid me to get this off their hands.
