NO REFUNDS!

[verynicebones · 1/10 · 26 February 2018]

I feel like no one has the heart to down such a low budget movie .One: No one has watched it other than their friends and family. And, there really isn't another reason. No one watches these unless they're making fun of them (if you can watch them, that is .Their blurays don't work and their DVDs are 15$. Laughable.) The cinematography is terrible .If you're using a Black Magic, it should not look like you're using an Android phone. It's grainy and not in an "aesthetic" way. The acting is atrocious in a high school play kind of bad. The protagonist/director has no self-awareness whatsoever. I mean, it is pretty obvious the only review for this movie is from someome highly involved with the film, if not the creator himself. I predicted the story from the first ten minutes and my god, the werewolf. I get it. Low budget. Terrible story. Laughable acting .And cinematography so bad, it's upsetting. 1/10. Just don't .

The usual garbage

[JerichoGX · 1/10 · 30 May 2018]

Now dont' get me wrong, I love low budget films but I only love them when they try. This "film" was just painful to watch, the acting was wooden, you could tell several of the cast were reading from a script just off screen. The writing was atrocious, like Asylum movies bad - This could have been good but it felt beyond lazy. I would have given this tripe 2 stars but all the fake reviews on here from cast and crew soured me on that and I feel I have to give it the one star it deserves - one to avoid.

This is a home movie

[jetjaguar1015-833-262862 · 1/10 · 16 February 2019]

Please don't watch this thinking that you are seeing a professional movie, this is a movie where a bunch of friends and family members got together, wrote a script, filmed it, and then had it distributed because Amazon and Netflix will pick up literally anything to help pad their numbers.

This is the type of movie where if you are in it, or are relared to somebody that's in it, you watch it and say "Look! It's uncle Michael on the tv!". So unless you are directly related to someone involved in the creation of this film, this movie is absolutely terrible on all accounts.

Actually pretty decent.

[janbohenn · 13 June 2020]

Yes, this movie was obviously made on a low budget, but it had some OK acting, some good atmospheric scenes and some OK scares even. They could have paid better attention to the camera work, the acting and especially the wolf costume. Overall though, it's got heart and charm.

Really boring

[nightroses · 1/10 · 11 July 2018]

This has so many sickly reviews from people that have never watched a film before. It was terrible and deserves a zero and not a one star. I think the one is for Kaci's pet dog in the film for being such a sweetie but the rest was so awful. The acting was just stiff, the characters were cardboard cut-outs, no personality whatsoever. The actors looked like they just all got out of bed and look so miserable. I think the kids have put all they could into the small parts they had, I will say that children in this film (one kid mind you, I didn't watch most of the film as it was too bland) did okay. The werewolf was a joke, it looked like a complete pantomime costume. Just what a waste of 40 minutes watching into this.

Congratulations!

[jessicawashere-59560 · 8/10 · 5 July 2018]

This film was pretty great! I don't have many complaints at all with this project. I decided to watch it after seeing a couple of reviews online that were saying this movie was a good movie and the others said it was terrible, so I had to watch it for myself and see. I think it could've been a tad bit better, but it had charm, which I wasn't expecting. So love it or hate it: This film seems to be getting popular because of the completely opposite reviews thats going back and forth. Night Howl for the win!

Not as bad as you'd think

[kelseyiscoolerthanyoubro · 7/10 · 5 July 2018]

I've watched soooooooo many low budget movies online and usually I'm never surprised. Now is this movie phenomenal? not at all. Is it good for its budget? Actually, the budget seems to be the only thing that is an issue with this film. The writing isn't great and I don't understand some of the framing choices. But the acting and the message is what really what I enjoyed about this movie. In my opinion, I think this movie at least deserves a 7/10. No more. No less.

This type of horror film was right up my alley.

[dogmommaluv · 10/10 · 7 May 2018]

I was on the edge with whether to watch this one. The poster definitely caught my eye. I'm not into today's extreme constant blood/gore that is overdone usually. This was perfect for me. It got me interested in a story with a few jump scares, a lil blood and an unexpected ending. Oh, and there is a short blooper reel after the slow credits that was entertaining. I am surprised at myself in watching a werewolf film as for I am not a huge fan of them.

Good story. Bad budget.

[joeyblowy-24833 · 6/10 · 9 May 2018]

Let me say, this is definitely an ambitious project. This flick looks super low budget and it's tough to really hold them accountable for that. HOWEVER; I really enjoyed the story and acting, that's really the only two redeeming qualities of this film. The werewolf costume looked okay, it is what it is. But I honestly believe that with a better budget and maybe a revised script, this film would've been a lot better. With saying all that, this film gets a C- from me.

A Steaming Pile of Werewolf 💩!!!!

[knightox · 18 January 2020]

Ha! This does NOT qualify as a movie 🎥, let alone a werewolf 🐺flick. No, this slop-fest is nothing but a few untrained ass-clowns 🤡 trying to film 🎞 themselves in a smattering of a plot that's complete rubbish. If you attempt to watch this toxic garbage your brain will definitely suffer irreversible damage💥! 0/10 stars!!!

Heartfelt and fun

[ellatellafella · 10/10 · 9 March 2018]

I had heard that there were a group of filmmakers in my area that were making indie horror movies. I ultimately never went out of my way to find their work until I had seen they were showing the film at a local theater and decided to buy a ticket. I wanna start by saying that as I waited in the theater, I wasn't expecting anything more than a low grade "home movie" type project. From the second the movie started through the ending I was in awe. The movie not only had heart but I caught myself actually getting a tad bit emotional. I left the theater and told my friends all about it.

I'm new to this site and the reason I made an account was because I was watching the director of this film's live stream and he made a joke about a review that was posted on here and I wanted to publicly share my thoughts. Watch this film! Don't expect something like 'Dog Soldiers', this is a whole different thing.

Decent film

[mandytgreene · 7/10 · 9 May 2018]

Not sure how this film has so many 10/10 reviews, but I will say it's worth a watch.

The two best things about this movie is the story and the twist ending. I really enjoyed the symbolism also, which you very rarely see in indie horror films these days.

I will say I can hear some hissing noises in the audio and some shots could've been lit better. I also could've used a little more back story on younger Kaci.

For me, I think this film deserves a 7/10. I'm interested in seeing more from this group.

Not What You'd Expect

[CohenForthright · 10/10 · 22 February 2018]

If you expect to see a traditional werewolf movie then you'll be sorely disappointed. NIGHT HOWL, the fourth in Fun Time's filmography, is the perfect blend of horror, thriller, romance, psychological drama, with a accent of comedy (but not too much).

As the synopsis already provides, Kaci Evans is a young photojournalist who suffers from deep seeded trauma from his childhood following his mother's murder by a large dog like creature. Now as an adult, Kaci is coming to grips with constant nightmares he has of a large black wolf.

With a mix of romance, Kaci falls for one of his model clients and a whirlwind romance ensues, but is she safe from Kaci's blackouts and nightmares?

Although the audio quality fluctuates quite a bit in this film, and makes for a difficult time hearing, NIGHT HOWL still delivers a whole new take on the werewolf genre. But again, if you're expecting something else from this film other than a gore-fest (and there is plenty of gore and blood), this movie might now be for you. It can be soft at times, but the movie redeems itself by the end with a massive twist the audience never expects.

What??

[ashhorrorlover · 7/10 · 9 May 2018]

This title popped up on amazon prime and it grabbed my curiosity. I watch a decent amount of low budget movies and very rarely am I impressed. I went ahead and watched it although the thought of a no budget were wolf movie seemed like a bad time. The first few minutes of the movie I thought, yep, what did I expect? But after that the story turned into this whole other thing that I wasn't expecting. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone but let me say, what the heck? This is how you make a damn good movie with little to no cash, the story was something new. Its just a weird movie. The audio had a little hiss in it throughout and the first scene was weak. I think if this movie had a touched up script, a decent budget and better sound, I think this movie would be pretty popular. Good work my dudes!

Finally an Indie Horror Film with a good back story.

[robertlynnet · 10/10 · 7 May 2018]

I was happy to learn of the surprise towards the end about the main character. It made sense & I even got emotional. The background scenes were nice. I liked the character Devin. He brought a little bit of comedy to the film. I had seen this writer, director's last film which I also liked for a slasher film and was excited to see what this one was like. I loved the ending. This was a good movie.

👍Big supporter of Indie Artists!

[iwanthorrorfilms · 7/10 · 18 February 2019]

Cool. Killer Poster. Low budget. Indie horror, more psychological I guess. Kudos to independent filmmakers. Goals!

We liked it.

[candeecanegirl · 10/10 · 7 May 2018]

I have been trying to find a horror film that I could watch with my little sister who is 17. She doesn't like scary movies, but she enjoyed this one even though she covered her eyes several times. Scary enough for people like me too who love horror movies. We enjoyed it.

Good. Nice film for low budget.

[horrorfangirleva · 7/10 · 18 February 2019]

Enjoyed it. A certain costume I was uncertain of until close to end of film. Totally made since. Made me feel for the main character.

People are too critical on Indie Films. Loved this!

[scarywoman-08654 · 10/10 · 16 December 2019]

I enjoyed this film along with my boyfriend. The twist was different & very deep. Unfortunate that people review some films badly that obviously seem to know the filmmakers personally & attack them. Filmmaking has to be hard & we appreciate the passion & hard work that people put into this type of art. I say, "Good Job!" I liked the back story too!

Thumbs up for an indie thriller. Unexpected ending.

[horrorlovesmedead · 8/10 · 21 February 2019]

Kept my attention. Ending won me. Girlfriend cried.

Got my mom's approval! Lol.

[scarylinnette · 9/10 · 19 February 2019]

I agree about it being a thriller type. Can't ever get my mom to go watch scary movies at the theater. My mom was hesitant about watching this with me but she said it was something she could watch that didn't have the unnessarily long, ridiculous over the top gore. It did have a couple jump scares that she unexpected. Lol. Glad we watched it.

Cool

[wolfiefangirl · 10/10 · 29 March 2019]

Cool film. I am hard to impress with indie films. I liked it. I watch a lot of wolf movies. Was different.

Cool, film. Recommend to my friends, etc.

[raelynnette · 10/10 · 16 December 2019]

I collect a lot of films, especially indie horror. This one is definitely on my must haves.

Interesting Thriller.

[rednovacragers · 8/10 · 24 February 2019]

Some people are too harsh of Indie Films. I thought this one was worth my time. Would have liked it to be a lil longer. Good job. Congrats.

Good one.

[horrorkingguy · 9/10 · 19 February 2019]

Date night at home. Ending was the best. Nice twist.
