It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought the unrated DVD. I saw that Julie Smith was credited in the cast as "Fantasy Woman". That sounded about right. She shows up near the end in a fantasy three-way with the main character and Regina Russell. Russell and Smith looked like they flew straight off the set of "Bad Bizness" to help add some life to "Wolfhound". They must have taken the Wolfhound Express. They were both sporting the exact same hairstyles from their previous intimate rendezvous. This sex scene was excellent. Another Julie Smith triumph. It was also the only thing that stopped me from throwing this DVD into the garbage can where it belongs.Wow. Talk about shamelessly cheap. "Wolfhound" is an out of control rip-off. The filmmakers should kiss the ground Smith walks on for saving their movie from complete destruction. Based on the DVD cover, you would expect "Wolfhound" to be some sort of werewolf flick. The cover has a hot blonde with her head tilted back transforming into a wolf creature. The tagline is, "Beware the Beast within". But alas, the joke is on us. She is actually turning into a wolfhound. A wolfhound is: "Any of various large dogs, such as the Irish wolfhound or the borzoi, trained to hunt wolves or other large game." Yes, you read that right. She turns into a big, scruffy, mangy dog.So this family moves to Ireland. There are lots of wolfhounds around. The main character keeps seeing one hound and wants her bad. This particular Wolfhound turns into a hot naked supermodel that wants a lot of sex. Isn't that always the way? Soon his hound dog sex will drive a wedge between him and his wife. This all leads to a very unexciting conclusion."Wolfhound" stinks. Even with a village full of shape shifting wolfhounds, they still couldn't manage to pull off one exciting death or action scene. Unless you'll watch Julie Smith in anything, let this hound go.

'Wolfhound' is not a werewolf movie, per se, but it's not so terribly bad otherwise. It is filmed rather well for it's budget, IMHO. Yes there are transformations, but not into wolves...into dogs, particularly Irish Wolfhounds, thus the title. I actually thought the acting was rather good for such a production, especially the various sorts of 'local' people and most certainly Jennifer Courtney, playing the wife of the man who brings his family to Ireland to where his familial roots are. So, yes there is mystery, but not really any horror, so to label this a horror movie is a just a bit of a stretch. More of a fantasy. And keep in mind that not everyone who is a shapeshifter turns into a dog, some are birds, some foxes, etc. I should note that the animals who are in the film actually are filmed well enough to convey that they ARE acting, which, for animals, can be a bit rare. However, a good portion of the film is spent showing the '95 Playmate Of The Year, Julie Cialini. She is the main shapeshifter who entices our leading man. Yes, her physique is what is obviously on display here. Was this created as a vehicle for her? Hope not. Poor thing, she really can't act. Especially for a character who's supposed to have lived in this Irish village all her life, she sounds like an cheerleader from the U.S., you know, somewhere in the mid-west. Overall, if you are interested in werewolf movies, this is not one. See only if you a) don't mind soft porn b) are interested in fantasy-mysteries involving concepts such as shapeshifting.

Well, this movie, to tell the truth, is a total crap. No story, no acting, no mature screenplay... just sex which covered 50% of the movie. The director made a blunt effort to insert some plot with that morphology-changing ability of the villagers but that turned out to be a sheer flop. The actors, especially the child ones, are not worth to mention. Julie Cialini, the "star" of the film did her part, which consisted of nothing hard, well. The cinematography is horrible and senseless. Some childish special effects are also seen.Two things are worth for a brief notice about the film. One is shooting location, which is nice; and the other is the background music during sex scenes. But if you're going to waste your bucks just for that, I have nothing more to say.

I try to be positive when watching a movie. I usually don't bring many expectations to the table. Generally, I can find something worthwhile in any movie I watch, even when the movie sucks ass. However, except for the ample cleavage, this movie totally sucks in every department.The acting is very amateurish all around, the writing is poverty-row (at best), the cinematography is quite poor in a lot of places (lots of out of focus shots), and the "special effects" are laughable. Plus, this movie has a couple of the worst child actors I've ever seen! Damn!!!! I wanted to smack them every time they appeared on screen.I walked into this with an open mind, but for all my efforts, I just ended up getting robbed of money and 80 minutes of my life that I'll never get back!
