Curse of the Queerwolf

"Curse Of The Queerwolf" isn't bad because it has an almost non-existent budget. It isn't bad because James Cameron isn't involved with it. It isn't bad because the actors are unfamiliar faces. This movie is bad because the script is awful.

Any movie that relies on somebody killing a dog (not once, but TWICE!) for lots of laughs is pathetic in my mind. Puppies aside, this "film" is still terrible for a multitude of other reasons. Disgusting gay stereotypes, a scene stolen from "The Exorcist" and main characters who are a bunch of losers certainly don't add up to a quality movie.

I'm just as game about watching independent films as the next guy. However, too many indie filmmakers feel that they have to be shocking or disgusting in order to stand out from the pack. "Curse Of The Queerwolf" certainly falls into that trap. 1/10

Larry Smallbut is bitten by a transvestite so when the moon is full he turns into a limp-wristed queen. He has to try to get back on the straight and narrow. All these people who complain about anything that that see as the tiniest bit 'homophobic' and nitpick about the differences between gay and cross-dressers need to get their head out of their asses (pardon the pun). And it only shows that being PC is sadly alive and well. For the rest of us (Ie. SANE people), we can see that it's JUST a movie. Funny at times, stupid at others (the whole hillbilly thing), but anyone who rants against the film not for what it is, but for what their narrow-minded views conceive it as being are just sad. My star rating will be higher than my graded rating in an effort to rectify that. (again no pun intended)

My Grade: C-

DVD Extras: 26 minute documentary "Curse of the Queerwolf: Completely from Behind"; a 1 and a half minute clip of the queerwolf's debut in "A Polish Vampire in Burbank"; Mark Pirro biography; and theatrical trailer

Eye Candy: Cynthia Brownell gets topless; Darwyn Carson in a see-thru bra

I found my copy of CURSE... in a Suncoast Video in Indiana. I have shown it to many people who just stare at the screen in disbelief. I think it is one of the best "worst" movies out there. I've never found it again, and will cry the day my tape finally gives out. I just dug it out the other day and am gearing up for another viewing. So cracked in its layers. The Hillbilly nightmares...the running gag with the doctor...the poor puppies...the men with the torches...the gypsy...It's all flooding my memory, and I'm giggling all over again. If you ever have a chance to get your hands on this rare movie, DO IT! You won't regret a single penny of it.

The best joke here is the one stolen from Crocodile Dundee (where it is used twice), that is, the first man impersonating a woman is played by a female actor.

The problem is the homophobic stereotypes. Sure the film is trying to laugh at homophobes, but in reproducing untrue and unlikely details about gays and transgendereds (that are repeated by the gender insecure) it reinforces them. What it comes down to is: how funny is it? The more funny you find it, the less the homophobia matters. One also suspects that the jokes are funnier for people who are insecure with these topics. And when the jokes fall flat, one begins to wonder ...

A must for fans of derrière-garde inauthenticity.

"Curse of the Queerwolf", the title alone should set you up for one of the funniest films of all time. Even though it wasn't, "Curse of the Queerwolf" could have very well been made by the same chaps who brought us "Airplane", "The Naked Gun", and all of those classics.

Most people won't like this film due to the fact that it was made on such a low budget, but if they would take the time to watch it, they will see what they're missing.

One of the things that makes this film so great is the only way one can kill a queerwolf. They never SHOW this, but you know what's going on.

Anyone who can watch this without laughing is probably a serial killer.

A film I wish I could have the brains to write. Out of 1-10 "Curse of the Queerwolf" gets a 10! A must see!
