Werewolf (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Sam: Oh my Gooooood! Holy Jesus God Fatherrrrrr! Werewolf?! No, save meeee!"

    • "I just found out Count Dracula was a fag!"
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The atmospheric Native American chanting during the opening credits is wasted on this movie.
  • Designated Hero: Paul Niles never performs any action even remotely heroic throughout the course of the film. Even when he finally kills the villain at the end (as a werewolf), it's treated no differently from when he killed a lot of innocent people (as a werewolf).

Natalie: Paul... you're our only hope.
Crow: I hope someday they tell us what he's their only hope for.

    • Natalie seems to think that Paul can help them get funding, presumably by writing something? It's never explained, and you'd think they'd have no problem getting funding when everyone keeps saying that the skeleton is the find of the century.
  • Esoteric Happy Ending: The movie ends just after it's revealed that Natalie has become a werewolf as well. So now they're both vicious creatures of the night who will undoubtedly spend the rest of their lives killing innocent people and being forced to run from the consequences. She seems pretty happy about it, though. Hooray, I guess?
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: When the guard is driving around (and going past the same gas station over and over again), Crow remarks on the high gas prices "Where is he, Port au Prince?". Said prices are around $1.95. Ten years later, people would kill to have gas prices that low again...
  • Nightmare Retardant: It's a poor werewolf that can get its ass kicked by some random guy on the street.
    • Paul seems really shaken up by his supposed nightmares... which he only describes as "running through the streets, doing things."
  • Special Effects Failure: The various "bear" "bat" "werewolf" costumes

Crow:He's dreaming of slimy cat puppets!

  • They Just Didn't Care: Early on in the movie, Noel gives lots of accurate information about yee naaldlooshii, highlighting the differences between them and Eurasian werewolves. Yet, all of the yee naaldlooshii in the movie act identical to werewolves.
    • There's no attempt to match the continuity of the filming, as seen with Yuri's hairstyles.
    • The werewolf skull has ears.
    • Neither of the guards at the university lab wear matching uniforms. Vic's is blue, the other guy's is white. The actor playing the second guard said they brought their own costumes and even though his didn't match Tony Zarindast's as Vic, Zarindast just filmed the scene anyway.
