It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The poster art looks great. Beyond that, I need to level set expectations. I'd call these Ramirez short films, "Werewolf Fan Films." As such I can forgive a lot on the production level side of things.Thankfully, no one has showered these reviews with the vitriol, "Werewolves of Stayville" received. I could see that the actors seemed to be having fun with the film. Most of the folks who crap all over efforts like this don't make films. I do, so here's some constructive feedback.I don't think the lack of credible makeup FX is what holds this back. 5 years later and this film doesn't improve on the quality of Stayville and I think that really starts with the script. In all humility I'd suggest that writer Alexis Ramirez should check out "Screenplay: The Foundations of Screen writing" by Syd Field. It's a tool for his tool box that would move his storytelling skills forward in a big way. At least it did this for me.I actually think there's a place for strong female character driven stories, especially in the werewolf sub-genre which is typically all about men turning into their inner beast. Keep moving your skill set forward and try again. The concept. artwork and catchy titles were enough to make me have a look, so that's something to build on.
