Does the Wolf Die in Alpha Movie Review
Watchable For The B-Movie It Is
"Blastoff Wolf" has all of the low-upkeep eccentricities that those of us who are B-motion-picture show fans similar. There are lovably bargain-basement werewolf costumes and there is amusingly awkward acting and there are nice California countryside settings. What more could a bad movie fan ask for?
Over-aggressive Casper Van Dien and his wife and their dog are going upwardly the country to re-connect with nature and with each other. Soon there is a werewolf attack, Van Dien gets fleck and all low-budget lycanthrope hell is breaking loose.
Van Dien's real-life wife Jennifer Wegner carries much of the movie, even as she struggles with a script that contradicts itself on how long she's known Van Dien's character! Van Dien himself turns out to be playing such a jerkoff that even fellow werewolves can't stand up him, and but Wegner's dog Larry is loyal and trustworthy.
While bad CGI (is at that place any good CGI?) is used for fires and such, good old practical furnishings are used for the werewolves and in the violence scenes and there is some claret-splash here and there, a heart gets ripped out, a guy gets brained with a hammer and so on, with the gore shown briefly and the violence on the moderate level. There is also a jaw-dropping surprise involving were-transformations that I'll let yous see for yourself. Even though it has a "You've got to be kidding me" quality to it and should have been done better, I don't believe any other moviemakers have e'er used this idea, so "Blastoff Wolf" deserves credit for that.
Other than that, characters regularly contradict themselves here and the script seems to accept been written by utter amateurs who never even bothered to double-check it. Luckily this becomes office of the fun and one soon begins to sense the ghost of Ed Forest hovering effectually.
Even the fact that the real-life couple Van Dien and Wegner's honey scenes are actually awkward, or that Van Dien appears to have had plastic surgery, does not backbite from, but adds to the overall enjoyable air of B-moving picture angst. You lot know who you are if this sounds similar something for you, so head on over to You Tube or Hulu to grab it!

Only these were weregerbils...
I stumbled upon "Blastoff Wolf" by utter random luck. I saw that it was a werewolf flick, and I saw that Casper Van Dien and Patrick Muldoon were together again in the same movie, so of form I wanted to spotter "Blastoff Wolf".
Well, a werewolf pic might be stretching it a flake far, because the were-creatures looked naught like wolves, actually more similar weregerbils. Yep, they looked like hybrids between humans and gerbils. It was just such an eyesore to witness.
The storyline was adequately simplistic and easy to follow, just I can't claim to say that the storyline was interesting. It fabricated for a less than mediocre movie feel, and "Alpha Wolf" offers nothing to the genre that hasn't already been done or seen before. Well, I stand corrected, because apparently if a canine is bitten by a were-brute, information technology tin can inverse into homo form from dog form come full moon. Are you bloody serious? That was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in a werewolf movie.
The movie had a very small cast ensemble, which means that the actors and actresses had even more riding on their shoulders in terms of carrying the movie. So did they manage to do then, No, non really. The characters were flaccid and not especially interesting. And to exist honest, then the actors and actresses had very trivial material to work with here.
For a weregerbil movie, then "Alpha Wolf" could take benefitted from a more elaborate and plush CGI upkeep. They had some CGI effects in the movie, they served their function, certain, only they weren't convincing. Information technology was actually the practical furnishings that won the contest here.
"Alpha Wolf" is not the blazon of movie that you volition watch more than one time, provided you manage to get through it the first time around.

Dreadful and not fifty-fifty funny
The writing sucks, Casper van Dien couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag - and this isn't even ane of those horror movies that'southward so bad it's funny, information technology'south merely bad. Verdict: Ninety minutes of your life you lot'll never become back.

Bad pic. Great eye processed.
Alert: Spoilers
The flick itself is almost preposterously bad. A boondocks that obviously houses a coven? pack? of werewolves, and doesn't mind if the occasional hunter or two get massacred by one of the gang. Police force investigation? Side by side of kin inquiries? What's that?
So five-foot-none Casper Van Dien and his wife (Jennifer Wenger) roll into boondocks with their loyal domestic dog to -- naturally -- "reconnect" out in the boonies. Seems Casper is a hot-head and enjoys confrontation. And so he's bitten by a werewolf, turns into one, and hijinks ensue. The only semi-interesting twist is that the dog -- a canine -- turns into a PERSON when the moon rises, although non, sadly, endowed with the gift of spoken communication. Just wait til he tries licking his ain genitals...
So why bother watching, let alone reviewing, such a (pun alert) dog of a moving-picture show? Jennifer Wenger is smoking hot, that'southward why. No wonder comic volume artists employ her as a model for Wonder Adult female. She's serviceable as an extra, but hot as hell!

Dumb werewolf movie
This moving picture is bad... Very bad... Bad cgi, bad make-up, bad story, bad acting... There's a reason why Casper Van D. never fabricated it to the A-list, and this is one of the best examples... Man, this is really bad... Run away......

I liked it but and then again I'm really into werewolf, vampire, witch movies then I recommend it
I really really liked this movie simply so again I'chiliad actually into werewolf movies, vampire movies, witch movies, etc. I pretty much similar them all because fifty-fifty before movies and boob tube it makes me wonder where did these legends, ideas of any of these types of things originate? There is absolutely no proof that they are not existent or that they are real. I'thousand personally inclined to remember they are or were real. That'southward why I picket equally many of these types of movies and t.5. shows as I can. To me this might be one of the ameliorate ones because they are out in the center of nowhere. I really really liked it and recommend information technology. To each their own though.

what the heck.. i liked it
This is the first review I'm writing here.. and this movie is not boring. Information technology was elementary and ok. sometimes the decision fabricated in the motion picture was silly.. but that's all there's to it. I recommend information technology for anyone who wants something with a little adrenaline

A Decent Film Until the Final 30 Minutes
This flick begins with two hunters out in the woods late at night when they hear a growling noise nearby. Not being very intelligent they decide to disregard it and continue along their way. Neither of them live to see the morning sunrise. The scene then shifts to a beau named "Jack Lupo" (Casper Van Diem) his wife "Virginia Lupo" (Jennifer Wenger) driving along a winding road looking to spend some time together in a remote motel in the woods. Along the way they stop at a pocket-size country shop where Jack proceeds to ogle one of the female customers and near start a fight with another human. Although Virginia doesn't care for his alpha male tendencies they eventually make up that night at the cabin only to be attacked by a large animal non long later on. The very next twenty-four hours Jack begins to act rather strange and information technology's then that Virginia begins to realize the type of person she has recently married. Now rather than reveal whatever more than I will only say that I really enjoyed this film upward until the concluding xxx minutes or so when the plot took a definite turn for the worst and everything came crashing down immediately after. To that effect, I'm non sure what the director (Kevin VanHook) was thinking simply peradventure he should find some other line of work because his decision-making skills in the motion-picture show industry are definitely in need of some serious improvement. That being said, I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.

I Just Came To Read The Reviews LOL
Warning: Spoilers
I am laughing so hard, these reviews are hilarious. Cheers to someone helping me to confirm that the human being the wife plant desperately wounded was the domestic dog...OMG lmaoooo. I was dislocated cause I heard him whimpering similar a domestic dog, but nooo style. The domestic dog turned into a man, how 😂 I rock with Casper Van Dien,,,cause I mean come on he saved the end of the world and mankind from gigantic bugs. He is a truthful American hero, but this movie homo idk. It'southward worth a watch if yous're a fan of Casper and I forget the actors name Muldoon?? That played aslope him in Starship Troopers...simply it's total nostalgia seeing those two together in this movie if naught else.

Cabin-in-the-woods werewolf flick in rural SoCal with Casper Van Dien
A man & wife (Van Dien & Jennifer Wenger) retreat to a vacation firm in the arid backwoods outside L. A., but run afoul of a werewolf-similar creature. Once someone is bit all hell breaks loose on the full moon. Patrick Muldoon and the hulking Robert Allen Mukes are also on paw.
"Alpha Wolf" (2018) is surprisingly skillful for what it is, a Goggle box-upkeep werewolf moving-picture show, which pretty much meshes "Dire Wolf," aka "Dinowolf" (2009), and "Wolves" (2014). If you appreciate those ones, you'll like this too. Similar "Dire Wolf" information technology's generally serious but with a fitting wink of amusement. The alpha male bending is intriguing and the script even throws in something original for a werewolf moving-picture show in regards to the curious naked dude (Tyler Gallant).
One heart-rolling sequence involves the couple's first assault by a hairy man-like creature. They castor information technology off as if a normal animal radically attacked them when it's glaring that information technology's ANYTHING Merely. If you lot tin scroll with this flaw (and the CGI gore), this is a worthwhile werewolf flick that should be enjoyed past anyone who values Course B horror, especially the cabin-in-the-woods multifariousness, whether the adversary is a werewolf, sasquatch, slasher, conduct or otherwise.
While petite Jennifer Wenger is perfectly agreeable as the female protagonist, Raquel Woodruff stands out in the beauty department; too bad her office wasn't bigger. Regardless, it's prissy to have a director (Kevin VanHook) who knows how to photograph women for a change (and I'chiliad not tawkin' bout nudity, although Raquel has a top nude scene for those who care).
Casper & Jennifer were married five months before the picture show's release. Meanwhile Van Dien and Muldoon appeared together in the cult movie "Starship Troopers" (1997).
The film runs i 60 minutes, 25 minutes, and was shot in Southern Cal at Topanga Canyon, Acton and Ramona (Exteriors & Woods).
GRADE: B.

Not quite a werewolf movie
Alert: Spoilers
Watched this movie like others mainly cause of Casper 5. D. and its supposed to be a werewolf movie. But its the common angry man goes to the forest and gets scrap and turns and is fierce now pic. Not to mention the werewolves were not very werewolf looking. They were more like dogs that could stand like humans with big teeth. And then the wife was either nagging about something all the time or being dropped large hints that went right over her head. Along with it at present the canis familiaris afterward being bit opposite transforms into a human...how does that work? A full moon thing to? And subsequently all that both the married man and the leader are expressionless. Whos the Alpha? Then to top it all off knowing its a community total of werewolves that detest dogs shes decide to go bag periodically cause hey why non? Wow this movie was entertaining simply barely werewolfy and non scary at all.

Cheapest production quality.
The storyline was okish rather than an eye pleasing one like the proper name of the motion-picture show. Second part is this movie was created with just 200$ or something. Thirdly, damn the kissing and sexual activity scenes just don't stop.
Overall, i would like to rate 50-50 to this movie and won't recommend y'all to watch the moving picture. Just my opinion tho.

Did this flick take investors?
I've never "critiqued" a movie on here earlier but I'll set my drink down and tell y'all what a ridiculous piece of cinema this is. Honestly this is what we take to offering to mankind? We label this a "werewolf" movie? A horror movie? Or hell a "picture show"? Bro. You bought your werewolf costumes at Party City. Casper Van Dien is the homo, don't become me wrong, but why? We the people need to start asking questions like: "Why am I watching this?" "I deserve better." "Who backs a product like this with bodily money?" "Should I terminate drinking and go ready for work?" Long story short, this movie is embarrassing. Even cheesy horror movies get amend reviews than this. I'm sorry homo. I don't buy it that y'all actually put along try into this movie.
