Having failed in his attempts to create an army of 1 foot dolls (Revenge of Robert the Doll), Hitler turns to werewolves in an attempt to win the war. The evil and twisted Doctor Mengele is the man for the job. After unscrupulously obtaining a serum, the doctor's plan is to inject it into a human subject and create a Nazi werewolf.Mengele's wife is introduced as an evil bitch who is running a concentration camp. She likes one of the poor captive's tattoos so much that she cuts off his skin to turn it into a lamp! The rest of the captives are a strange looking bunch who look like they've just got up and are still wearing their pajamas. The highlight for me in this film is that we even get to see Hitler in this film. He's portrayed brilliantly right down to those nervous twitches and that stutter that's he so well known for.But, I get ahead of myself because before going any further, I must introduce the other theme running through the film. The two will superbly collide at the end. There are four American men, all nasty and all under military arrest for various misdemeanors. "Mad dog" Murphy is portrayed by Lee Bane who once again puts in a great performance. The men find themselves being transported in the back of a military vehicle when suddenly the road is blocked. It was an ambush by the Nazis and in the ensuing fight, the Nazis are killed as well as the senior officers driving the vehicle.Murphy and co are now free; outlaws with no place to go. They are seen walking off into the sunset. The movie cleverly plays Western style cowboy music when the four guys are together. It's a unique take on events to have cowboy music in a film based in Nazi Germany.So, back to Mengele and his nasty wife. A new element is introduced to the story. His wife, Ilsa, is seen having a secret rendezvous with a German officer that works at the base. Having seen the evil side, we now see the more caring and emotional side of Ilsa. Her relationship with the loony doctor is clearly at breaking point, and she wishes to run away with her officer friend. But things do not go well for them at this point. Mengele has somehow found out about his wife's affair and decides that the officer would be the perfect subject for his first attempt at creating a werewolf. The serum is injected and very soon he's changed. Finally, some much anticipated werewolf action. He's a frightening looking beast, cleverly made up so that you can see who it was originally, but also appearing convincingly as a werewolf.During the night, Ilsa, who knows what's become of her love, sneaks to the lab to see him. This is a really emotional scene. The hardnosed woman who had been introduced at the start was now vulnerable and hurt. I think one is supposed to feel sorry for her although to be honest, she'd lost the sympathy vote from me the moment she made the lamp out of a captive!Deciding that she wants to join him, Ilsa injects herself with the serum and soon turns as well. Now for the two parts of the story to brilliantly come together. Murphy and his men have stumbled across the camp and decide that they should storm it. Four men, you'd think, would have little chance of taking over an entire concentration camp. Luckily for them, despite being the base of Hitler's most important experiments, it's the most poorly defended camp in the World!There's one gormless looking guard on the door who is quickly dispatched of. Once inside, the place is empty but for Mengele, a senior officer and one other dude with a gun (and of course 2 werewolves). The guy with the gun is overpowered, and obviously the thing to do here is for one of the merry men to offer him out for a fist fight. Right in the middle of this important siege, he figured that this was a great idea! Anyway, once he's eventually killed, it's on to Mengele, but he eludes the gang's grasp.Now for the only bit of serious werewolf action in the whole film. German officers and doctors are no longer the biggest worry for Murphy and his gang. The werewolves attack! It's dramatic, but ends with the death of the creatures. Hitler would have to go back to the drawing board. What next for the dictator? Nazi gnomes or Nazi frogs? The possibilities are endless!The final scene brings the movie to a gripping conclusion. Mengele had escaped, and we see him 30 years later as a farmer in the middle of an Argentine forest. He might have thought he'd evaded capture but...wait....Murphy and his pals track him down. All four men have aged incredibly well. Despite being 30 years later, they literally haven't aged at all! After a brief conversation, Mengele's killed and justice has finally caught up with him. That's the end. Queue more cowboy music .

I am not sure there are any film-makers currently as prolific as Andrew Jones, who, with production company North Bank Entertainment, continues to release low-budget horror films at a fast rate of knots. Most are enjoyable, some very much so. Never afraid to 'pay homage' to other projects, Jones here writes/directs something very close to Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds', but on his terms.It is bargain basement stuff, of course. Hitler's briefing room is backed with black drapes, while he sits in front of an un-ironed swastika drape, whilst true to Jones' direction, many scenes are a collection of close-ups. The best performance probably comes from Suzie Frances Garton as the resolute and duplicitous Ilsa (what else?) Koch - with suggestions of sensuality beneath that pristine cool veneer, she attacks the role with relish. In a disappointingly brief appearance, sometimes Jones regular Jared Morgan plays the bar-tender; he is always good to see. Perhaps it is ubiquity to blame, but I find it more difficult to be convinced by Lee Bane as 'Mad Dog' Murphy, someone too stylised to ever truly exist; whispering every line Eastwood-style, his avowed intent and catch-phrase, to 'kill Nazis' becomes more irritating than threatening. As ever though, he plays his role to the hilt and offers the key: don't take things too seriously. Other performances (and accents) vary greatly. Hitler, for example, provides Oliver Fritz an opportunity to display the Fuhrer as a bizarre, ailing grotesque.There are some interesting choices being made here and as is often the case with Jones' projects, the more you watch, the more these choices take you in. The long conversational scenes, the slow-burning story-telling, and some ripe performances combine with simmering interest, a good build-up of threat and as ever, some nice location filming that does enough to allow you to believe events are taking place in Nazi Germany 1944. That's another thing with films from the North Bank Entertainment stable - they cannot be accused of being unambitious. This could have been set in England with no Hitler appearance at all - but no, we have approximations of American accents, two curious werewolf hybrids and a bucket-load of Nazis.For a story with 'werewolves' in the title, we have to wait a long time for even the first mention of them by name. The reveal comes at the time the two main story-strands come together, in a midst of monster masks and CGI blood-splattering. Like the rest of the film, some moments will leave you impressed, others not so much. But it seems the adventures of (don't call him) 'Mad Dog' Murphy and his band of men are not quite over, as the post-credit flier tells us.

I read the other reviews and think people take movies too seriously sometimes. this is clearly a movie which isn't taking itself seriously (the Nazis think they can win world war 2 by making werewolf soldiers!) and there are so many funny lines and larger than life characters. so I find it very hard to dislike a film which is laughing at its own silly concept. along with the humour there are some good action scenes and the opening scene in the bar is like a spaghetti western. lots to like.

This is one of the worst movies of all time, and I use the word 'movie' generously here. And before I continue I would like to point out that I am a huge fan of the Asylum movies so I am no film snob.I'll only talk about the first 20 mins of the film because if I write any more, I will lose the will to live. So what happens in the first 20 mins? Absolutely nothing! No, I mean it. Nothing. Sure there are a couple of scenes but there is absolutely no point to them. We get to learn that some prisoners (more later) are going to have drugs tested on them and that's it. 30 seconds of 'important stuff' in 20 mins.My most enjoyable bit? Overweight concentration camp prisoners. I don't think the makers of the movie studied WWII history. The makers don't seem to know anything about Jews either since the biggest, fattest prisoner has a huge tattoo on his chest. It is pretty common knowledge that Judaism still frowns on tattoos and 70-odd years ago things would have been much stricter.Second favourite bit? The actor chosen to play Hitler - the only prerequisite being the ability to put on a moustache as far as I could see. I look more like Hitler and I'm 6 foot, balding, and fat.I would like to suggest watching it for the comedy value but Sharknado 5 this ain't. It is not even funny bad. It's just bad. Rather than spend 1 hour and 34 mins watching this 'movie', I would suggest that members of IMDb use the time more wisely. I won't give any suggestions. Literally ANYTHING would be time spent more wisely.
