Buy it USED
Added 2/8/2010
Sometimes I wish that I wasn't such a big fan of werewolves. It would spare me from a lifetime of watching and collecting such an endless list of terrible movies. In the tradition of second rate werewolf movies, Darkwolf shines through as a gleaming example of a THIRD RATE MOVIE.
The story is confused and dragged out with meaningless padding scenes. The acting, wardrobe, and props would embarrass the local AV and drama classes from your local high school. The CGI effects are completely unfinished and embarrassing to watch. Clearly the effect budget ran out midway through production.
The only saving grace of this film is the non stop parade of naked women that constantly pop up in the film from the opening sequence in a nude bar to an rather hot, 10 minute, totally useless to the plot photo session scene with two naked ladies in werewolf body paint having a near lesbo-erotic experience (Which is also the best acted scene in the whole movie).
If you are a werewolf enthusiast like me and collect media containing the hairy monsters no matter it's quality, then buy this one used. If you don't share my "curse", then I'm sure your money could be spent better elsewhere... like investing in Heath Ledger's newest film...

Was this made for Skinimax?
Added 10/20/2009
Hey..Kane Hodder starring as a werewolf! Sounds great, right? Not so much. This movie reminded me of some filthy after midnight flick you'd see on skinimax.The actresses were obviously hired for their willingness to disrobe, rather than their acting abilities. Some of the actors were okay, the black gentleman cop at the beginning was actually the best actor, and they killed him off within the first few minutes. Too bad. Kane Hodder is pretty menacing as he glares and stares, but when they unleash that mario paint transfomation, I just started lauphing. The few shots you see of the werewolf mask,or suit, or whatever, were not too bad, because it let you use your imagination. I don't mind a little nudity in my horror, It's expected, but to blantantley parade two teen girls around naked for what seemed like 10 minutes,on the rooftop made this movie just that much seedier.This movie is watchable, but it's not that great.

I collect werewolf movies and own over 15 of them. Darkwolf is by far the worst I own. Do not buy this movie.

just average and nothing more
Added 1/29/2006
This movie was just as average movie but it could, if they put more money into it(it showed that little money was put into it), be a better movie.
The movie is a low budget movie(no surprise here) and the movie starts out at a strip club. that's a plus in my book, and breast flashing is happening within the frst few minutes. WOW! what a great way to take your mind off a mediocre movie.
Now, there some parts in the movie that can be scary but who...who will be scared of the werewolf? IT's a suit for crying out loud. Atl east tht's what it looked like. i was expecting to the see the zipper in the back. SO, that obviously is not a plus, unless you seeing a fake werewolf in a horror movie. SCARY!!
Well, it is good to know that "darkwolf" makes fun of its self, which wouldn't have been hard to do anyway. There are many things that they do like: plastic guns(they thought you wouldn't notice in that scene),and CRAP ugly dialogue. Who wrote this? This really held the actors in this movie from breaking out.
The nudity is great but it is just trying for to forget how bad it is and see skin. Well, it didn't work.
Now on to the acting: Samaire Armstrong was great. This was her first major role and she did a great job ,dispite god-awful dialouge. So, i think yoo can expect alot of things out of her(STAY Alive, Just my luck , and It's a boy girl thing-all coming out in 2006). can you say future star?Kane hoddler really had an average performance but i can say one thing: he some pecs of steel. Not really much t o ay onthe acting besides that.
The audio is on'e of the movie's highlights. It got a little repititve but the music itself was great and plenty of it.
SO...... would i watch this movie again? likely not. Even with the above average acting of samaire armstrong and hodder, the movie was jsut that:average and that's not good enough for me. So out of a ten i would give this a ..... 6/10 overall
8/10music
4/10money's worth
most of these actors you likely won't hear of again except samaire Armstrong. She has appeared on the oc etc. So, she's really the only main actress/actor that will(it seems) go on to do great things, just by seeing this. Just pick some better rolesnextime(which she did-look above on acting part of review).
That's all folks.
