Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

I wanted to but couldn't!

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I am not really sure if the people who made this film thought that by shooting it out of focus it would seem more artistic or surreal, but all it does is just make it nauseating. I normally try to point out the good and the bad when I write a review but this one is pretty lopsided. So here goes. The good: Not a thing I can think of.The bad: The camera-work, the framing, the sound, the acting, the makeup, the special effects, the story. The premise has a grain of what could have been made into a good horror movie. Werewolf falls in love with a normal woman who has a kid. Misjudges and accidentally kills her while changed. Daughter hunts him down only to find there is a hidden underground of werewolves who are also hunting him. That could go several different ways. She could have met up with the underground and helped them only to have them turn on her in the end. She could have found her stepfather, forgiven him, then fought by his side against the underground. She could have started a revolution in the underground. She could have hunted them all down and killed them indiscriminately becoming either a hero or a worse monster than the werewolves. None of that happened though. The entire underground subplot was introduced then abandoned completely with no explanations. In fact many things in this movie have no explanation. Where on earth do you find clear liquid silver in an eye dropper bottle? Why did she have "you have 3 days left" written in her notebook when there was a full moon that night and at least two months had passed since her mother was killed based on Molly's story? Why did all the women in this movie look like they never took a shower, brushed their hair, or wore makeup except for the lead? Why bring up the werewolf biting Molly's son then not mention him ever again? Why did throwing water on her dissolve Annabelle like the wicked witch of the west in Wizard of Oz? If she put some of her silver supplement in the water it never showed it. How did she say her final line when all that was left of her was a scarf and some smoke? This movie lacks any coherence at all. It's not scary, funny, interesting, or artistic. I would hope that half of it got cut and that created the problem rather than think that someone actually wrote a script like that. And the werewolf special effects... We won't even go there. You can buy a better werewolf mask at the dollar store. This movie is a complete waste of time. I couldn't in good conscience recommend it to anyone.

Frankie and Molly, two women with rage issues and non-healing wounds, meet at a bar and get to know each other over drinks and drugs. They eventually bond over the fact that they have both been bitten by a werewolf.Molly turns; Frankie deals with that. Then Frankie is kidnapped and taken to Annabelle, who rips out one of Frankie's eyes to replace one of hers. Frankie eventually counterattacks and gets away. She finds her stepfather, Fenton, and his alter ego.Will Frankie get free of the werewolves, or become part of the community? -----Scores-----Cinematography: 2/10 Framing, lighting, focus, depth of field, and continuity errors---all suck rocks. Throw in shaky camera.Sound: 4/10 Not very good. I needed the subtitles all too often.Acting: 0/10 Uniformly bad.Screenplay: 0/10 That opening was -8 points all by itself. The film's plot development was as murky and jerky as the camera work. None of the characters were interesting.---------- 1/10 is just too generous, but that is the lowest score on IMDb.

This movie was terrible. The director was horrible. The filming looked like it was done with a cell phone. The first hour or so was blurry and poorly lit. The casting was bad. There were plenty of scenes in this movie that should have just been deleted. In one segment it took the girl like 5 minutes to stumble out of a bar. I normally don't care about poor effects but it is worth noting that the werewolf looks pretty bad. We spent the first half of this movie waiting for it to start, then we spent the second half of it wishing it would just end. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy plenty of low budget movies but this one was just painful! Don't waste your $1.20 at Redbox. You will probably regret it.

Well as it is just released on Video On Demand (VOD) The Big Bad shows that there is a lot possible with a very small budget. The end product is a stylish movie that knows where it is going. Should have been hard for Jesse Gotta to write and play the main role in orderly fashion? Or did she proof us that double roles won't be of any influence in making a good movie? Frankie Ducane is a woman in a seedy bar at a bad part of town, looking for a man named Fenton Bailey. A chance encounter with barfly Molly tells her she's on the right track. Molly had run into Fenton not too long ago and come away with a cut on her neck and an itch that wouldn't go away. When Frankie leans in and tells Molly what that itch is, the wounded woman goes to the bathroom and tries to slit her wrist. The suicide attempt fails, and after Frankie has buried Molly's body in a shallow grave, things get much worse. A trail of blood is left in her path as she fights every step of the way on the road to Fenton Bailey. And when she finds him, Frankie discovers those feelings that had driven her forward weren't fueled so much by anger as they were grief. "I just miss you both so much," she tells Fenton before . . . well, I'm not going to tell. Suffice it to say the ending is somewhat bittersweet.One of the first things you will notice as a viewer is the great surrealism in this movie. The tone of the movie is a very dark one but with a bit of fantasy touché to it. Jesse Gotta and Bryan Enk have set up a very nice story and which has been captured and directed in a great way. The Big Bad didn't had a big budget but the movie never feels like a low budget movie thanks to the stylistic way of the movie. The movie shows the love that has been put into it and embraces the fairy-tale related parts into a dark murderous ride. Jesse Gotta wrote the script and plays the main role in the movie she makes sure the character she plays shows the emotion so needs to show and never as character feels empty. But The Big Bad isn't without its flaws a lot of action shots have been shot with a handycam which means shaky and muddled scenes. There could have been a lot more and better ways to capture the images but in the end it is a budget choice. While Gotta did great as a writer some of the dialogue is just not worth the time and just feels empty. The monologues were just going on too long but never in a way it is annoying but in a way that you as viewer start to question things too much. The effects in the movie are well made and are never to gory and is walking a safe line in this one. Too much gore wouldn't have fit in the dreamy state of the movie and I am glad they didn't overdo it. The Big Bad ended up as a surprise for me and after seeing a lot of movies lately with a lot higher budget fail miserably this was a nice breath of fresh air. Keep on the lookout for Gotta and Enk they have everything set up great and let's hope their new movie will have a higher budget. But with the budget they had they made this movie into a success in my book, the makeup, editing, the story and the sound just fits everything perfectly. I would say go check it out it is worth the watch. http://www.slashingthrough.com/reviews.php?id=160
