Dog’s Movie House: “Wolf Man” Entertaining Update Of Classic Werewolf Tale!

Howdy Folks! it’s The Kendog here with a look at Leigh Whannel’s latest horror film. Striking gold with his inventive “Invisible Man” update a couple of years ago, Whannel now takes aim at the venerated lycanthrope sub-genre of horror. “Wolf Man” has a solid cast, interesting practical effects and a different werewolf design that’s sure to spark discussion. It’s not as narratively profound as “Invisible Man” but it doesn’t have to. Instead we have some compelling drama involving a father’s ability to protect his daughter.

Dog’s Movie House: “Werewolves” Entertaining Throwback To 80’s Horror Films. . .As Long As You Don’t Think Too Hard!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I have to say that good werewolf movies are hard to find. It says something that the best of them are a duo that came out in 1981. Both “The Howling” and “An American Werewolf In London” are certifiable classics and, like “The Exorcist” versus all other possession films, it’s been nearly impossible to match the quality of those two movies. So we come to a little movie called “Werewolves” and despite the rather generic title, this film actually has some interesting ideas that I’ve never seen in a werewolf movie before. That said, “Werewolves” is too short and too rushed to stand in the same light as “An American Werewolf In London” or “The Howling,” but it’s an entertaining feature that does a pretty decent job with a fairly small budget!

Dog’s Movie House: “Heretic” Is A Horror Movie With More On It’s Mind Then Just Scares!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I’m telling you that some of the greatest horror movies of all time have a lot more on their mind than the cheap jump-scare. The best films, be they horror or otherwise, work on several different levels so that the immersion factor has a lot more to do with the many facets of the movie rather than how many times the monster goes “Boo!” The new horror film “Heretic” is just such a film, asking serious questions about religious theology while at the same time leaving you crushing your armrests in collective suspense!

Dog’s Movie House: “Longlegs” Almost An Instant Horror Classic!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the highly anticipated horror film “Longlegs.” Writer/director Oswald Perkins has put together of finely crafted bit of procedural horror that, for the first three-quarters of the film, grabs you with some of the most tension-filled scenes in recent cinematic memory. Then the story takes something of a supernatural bent and, while interesting in its own right, some of the tension is diffused just a bit as the mystery of our serial killer is unraveled!
