Lycan (2017) Reviews

• Silly film from beginning to end.

  If it wasn't for the attractive females who are nude in the film, there would be no need to watch this POS. Let's see: 1) Rife with anachronisms. 2) Apparently college professors can insult student's family members and not get censured. 3) College-aged adults act like high schoolers 4) Working in shorts and a mid-riff shirt are comfortable in Southern heat. 5) Werewolves aren't that scary. Slow and tedious film with numerous scenes of a main character riding her no-speed bicycle apparently across dozens of miles of Georgia backroads. Again, without the nudity, even this becomes unbearable. Got it from RedBox. Should have left it there.

• Alcoholic Method Acting

  immaculusvonnorton2018-01-01

  The lead actress in this film gives what is perhaps the most brilliant drunken performance since W.C. Fields. Her dedication to her craft is evident all throughout, as she uses gin-infused slurring to transition seamlessly from one made up accent to the next. Unless you count slurring as a seam, I guess. And while this intoxicated performance was at the top of its game, it could not come close to matching the dedicated inebriation of the sound design team, whose ability to make the film sonic-ally assault you like a Mel Gibson antisemitism rant. I give this film eight Jagermeister shots. "COME AND GET US YOU BASTARD! I gotta pee."

• Horrifying but for the wrong reasons

  benjaminlauriesmith2017-10-13

  This movie looks more like a project a teen director would put together for their finals. The best thing about the movie is the music tracks it has some lovely music in it. The acting is about on par for the whole movie its not as bad as 1970s b movies but not as good as some polished TV dramas As for the story.....Its confusing and convoluted at best and just down right awful in parts. With a reputed 1/4 million budget its hard to see where it was spent but I'm guessing a lot of it went of red corn syrup. Save your time and money and watch Dog Soldiers or American Werewolf in London if you want to see a decent werewolf movie. A better title would have been canine as there are no werewolves in this movie

• Not what I was expecting....

  Not a werewolf movie at all. I was disappointed that it did not feature an actual werewolf. It focused more on lycanthropy then the actual transformation--not a bad movie but if you're looking for an real werewolf movie like the howling or something along that line, pass this by if you aren't interested.

• Could have been an indie winner

  You could forgive the lack of a budget, you could forgive the bad acting. The direction is actually not terrible for what there is to work with What you can't forgive is the last quarter of the film where it suddenly dawns on everybody involved, "Oh yeah, an explanation and an ending, I knew we forgot something!" and it just throws stuff against the wall in a hurried jumble to get the film over with. The explanations for the explanation are non-existent. The logic to anyone's actions, which at least had been standard horror fare up to them, go right out the window. I hope the Director Bev Land get's another shot, the camera work is fine, especially for the money available to work with, it's the plot, and some poor acting that let it down in the end.
