Don't call me Mad Dog

Warning: Spoilers
This is a film that promises more than delivers. It opens up 1944, in Nazi Germany, and not that other Germany. We are introduced to some American tough guys...was that guy acting like Clint Eastwood? We are then introduced to Josef Mengele (Neville Cann) and his wife Ilsa (Suzie Frances Garton) who are experimenting on people and have a drug that combines DNA. Then the scenes come together.

The werewolf as seen on the cover is misleading. It looked like a rubber zombie mask. And yes there were "werewolves" since two is plural. The building they were in looked from the era, except the lead paint was peeling off the walls and ceiling as if it was standing there for 70 years. Then there were other rooms with wood paneling and wall switches that was clearly anachronistic.

On the plus side the film managed to create and deliver some fun characters and dialogue like, "make my day" and "do you feel lucky." There was western swagger music which created a fun but brief grindhouse effect. The werewolf didn't come into the film until late, and really didn't factor into the feature as much as expected. Considering the stinkers written by Andrew Jones ("The Amityville Asylum"), this production has moved in the right direction.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
