This may sent a bit nerdy but each Full Moon I like to watch a werewolf movie, preferably one that I have not seen before. Tonight I watched "Fang" (2018). I sometimes wonder with bad movies such as this, do the film makers set out to make a serious horror flick, or is the comedy aspect intentional? I have to say that Fang was the funniest thing that I have watched in a while! The acting and script are diabolical, the musical score is just way over the top. The werewolf make up is awful but there is plenty of graphic gore, apart from a few rubber limbs some of the effects are decent. But why is a single boob shot censored out? So bad that it made me laugh.

Putting aside the agenda driven (read misleading) reviews this did have some rather effective cover art. Enough to lure me here which is about all you can ask from a non existent budget production right? Referring here exclusively to the cover art.
Poorly made movie with fake reviews
Mike_T-Little_Mtn_Sound_Archive22 November 2019
I won't waste time on dissecting this movie, but wanted to leave at least a couple of comments to dissuade users from taking credence in the four reviews written prior to this one.
First, it should be noted that this is "not the worst movie ever made," or whatever the typical line is coming from overly judgmental film "reviewers" who write bad reviews after having falsely high expectations to begin with. There are certainly worse movies in existence, but this is indeed what I would call a loser.
Second, each of the four reviews prior to this one were written within 7 days of each other and by users who have not reviewed a single other film. This leads me to believe that they are not on the level. May have been one of those festival pieces that passed out free tix and prizes in exchange for reviews, maybe they're folks associated with the film...I'm not really sure. Regardless, there's something off the level with these, and after watching this film, nothing they say stacks up as true or could be construed as such.
Third, every facet of the film is done poorly. The acting, directing, editing, cinematography, sound, etc are all bad. Not that I haven't seen good indie movies with several of the above facets also true, but this is not one of them. Call it a pet peeve, but I detest when the sound is not done by overhead or boomed mics, rather, by whatever ambient mic is on the (non-professional) camera. Everything sounds boomy and far away. Though, the picture is not as bad as is usually seen in these types of poorly made flicks.
Lastly, it's just not good. I mean, I've watched thousands of movies, of which the majority have been independently made films with low budgets. It's totally possible to make a decent film on a micro- budget. This is simply not one of them, and doesn't come close. I would actually rate this a 2/10, but with all the fake reviews and ratings, I decided to give it an even 1/10 to help (albeit minimally) bring the rating back down to reality.
Hope this helps. Don't waste your time with this stinker. There are loads of bad movies you can watch, that aren't this bad.

Fangless and Pointless
knightox3 December 2019
First off let me say I agree 100% with the comments made by reviewer Mike_T about this pitiful attempt at cinematic creativity. I definitely believe the first "positive" reviews were bogus, made by people involved with this horrendous abomination. Yes it was probably done on a shoe string budget but the actors seemed like they were found off the street. There was absolutely no consistency with the storyline or plot. I don't think the directors really had a script they were working with. They just kind of made things up things up as the movie went on. Characters were introduced only to disappear mere moments later. Sloppiness was about the only amazing thing about this flick! Seriously, I bet the people involved in this "production" wish now they had done something else with their time like maybe basket weaving. Oh yeah, for a supposed "werewolf" movie, this is one of the worst ever. This was totally "Fangless and Pointless".
Stupid Movie
william-4699513 June 2022

In another seeing 2 guys have machine guns and a skinny dude grabs one by the neck and the stupid guy says may God help us, in the the mean time the other guy should of shot the skinny dude But just stands there the skinny dude kills him..
Cult Classic?
tmccull5230 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I read that another reviewer on this message board referred to this movie as a "cult classic". That assertion is an insult to genuine cult classics. This movie is as palatable as an unexpected bout of explosive diarrhea. The acting is over-the-top horrendous, as are the special effects and the direction. The scene where the uncle and aunt slam their faces into their plates at the dinner table and eat like dogs from a bowl is one of the stupidest scenes that I've ever seen in any movie.
This is a werewolf movie; the most poorly executed werewolf movie that I've ever seen. At one point, after the aunt slaughters someone in front of other members of the group, the caretaker of the house advises the surviving members to lock themselves in the bedrooms. One of the other characters asks why... as she's literally covered from head to toe in the blood of the man that the aunt slaughtered right in front of her.
The director tries to make up for the horrible acting and idiotic of with buckets of gore. It doesn't work. Crap covered in blood is still crap, and this movie is utter crap. I turned it off a little less than halfway through it.

Horrible

Bad! Real Bad
joeboy-6882428 December 2020
If you thought that Ed Wood movies are bad, then you haven't seen this movie. Acting, editing, directing are all horrendous. I will say the cover art wasn't bad and there is plenty of blood and gore, but you should pass this right on by.
Fun indie horror flick!

Fang, the best Steigert film yet!!
s_losey8 November 2018
Fang was an enjoyable film to watch. The acting was on point and the movie had a great balance of suspense, gore, and even a little humor. Adam Steigert introduces us to characters from past films and gives us insight to his future plans. Each film is like a song enjoyable standing alone but really to understand the creativity and imagination of Steigert, watch all his films. It's an album you will love!
Instant Cult Classic!
