Review:
First let's start by saying this is a Romance Horror that has been underrated. This is about a mortal man that falls for a vampire elite chic (this ain't like Twilight). This is a perfect date night movie for those who love vampires! It's hot and steamy, it also takes you back to when vampires were of romance and dark desires. There is a lot of sexuality and some violence in this movie.
if you are looking for a vampire movie that's not necessarily a horror movie but definitely steamy this is your movie to watch.

Dog Soldiers (2002)

Review:
Just Another Werewolf Flick? Think again!
Dog Soldiers should be on every horror movie must see list. I cannot say enough about this movie. Most everyone I know loves this movie.
I would call this an action horror. No running thru the woods with a werewolf chasing you, straight out action in a limited space (farm house), only you and your wits to beat the creaures. Dog Soldiers is considered a cult classic and for good reason.

At the age of 9, Abraham Lincoln witnesses his mother being killed by a

Henry directs him to. Abe (Benjamin Walker) relocates to Springfield where he gets a job

He also meets and eventually marries the pretty Mary Todd. Many years

vampires are fighting with the Confederate forces. As a result he mounts
his own campaign to defeat them.

Review:
Okay, I admit it I put off watching this one for a few years. To me just the title alone sounded stupid to me. I was wrong (don't judge a book by its cover). The story is solid, action is on point (more than most horror) & the actors are great, not to mention the special effects. I cannot say alot about this movie without spoilers so I will just highly recommend this to all movie enthusiasts out there.

Director:
Anthony Waller

1 h 45 min

Trailer:
Review:
Typical boy in foreign country meets and falls for girl, girl pushes him away & boy doesn't listen story with a werewolf twist.
There are a few comical relief moments in this movie. This is techincally a sequal to "American werewolf in London" but to me its more of rewrite. This doesn't make it a bad movie and is fairly good on its own. I also wouldn't really label it as a horror either.

Wolves (2014)
Wolves (2014)
Actors:
Jason Momoa, Lucas Till & Merritt Patterson
Director:
David Hayter
Run Time: 91 Minutes
Plot:
The coming-of-age story of Cayden Richards. Forced to hit the road after
the murder of his parents, Cayden wanders, lost, without purpose...
Until he meets a certifiable lunatic named Wild Joe, who sets him on a
path to the ominous town of Lupine Ridge, to hunt down the truths of his
history. But in the end, who's really hunting whom?
Trailer:
Review:
This movie starts off slow but if you continue to watch you get a reward. After the first 15 or so minutes the plot and story pick up and the wolves make themselves known. Jason Momoa makes one hell of a bad guy Lycan, as he is best playing bad guys. Lucas Till plays a convincing young man who is looking for answers and comes into his own.
This is a throwback to old style movies, no cgi. It has the traditional wolfman feel makeup wise, no long snout and looks like a half man half wolf instead of an overgrown wolf on two legs. This movie was made old school and very well at that.
The problem today is that people want action and blood right from the get go in todays movies and will miss alot of good movies if you cannot sit thru a horror if it starts slow. One of the best low budget movies of this decade. I highly recommend watching Wolves.
