If I could have given this "movie" a 0 I would have. The spoiler is the following, and this is all you need to know"

What is there to say about Rob Roy and his film Lycan Colony...? First off, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! That was well deserved because this film is absolutely the worst film ever made. In all my life's experience I have never seen such a horrible piece of crap. If there were a real Lycan colony full of werewolves in real life and they found out about this film called Lycan Colony they would go after Rob Roy for everything he's got, limbs and all. I feel like I was shot in the face and dragged out into the public by the most uninteresting, dull, and inept creature ever created after seeing this movie. Any time I attempt to piece together what it's reasoning is, or why a certain shot (if you can call anything in this movie "a shot") is the way it is my mind starts to decay more and more into despair. Lycan Colony is film-making Hell, and Rob Roy is the Devil. I ordered this movie, hearing how awful and hysterical it was from friends who attended the super duper hyped up "world premiere," and I never imagined something this God awful. First off, I'm pretty sure this DVD comes from Rob Roy's "studio," meaning his basement/garage, and second he lives only thirty minutes away from me. The DVD took A MONTH A HALF to get to my house! That is too long for a guy who lives nearly three towns over! I have never regretted anything in my life more than paying for a DVD copy of Lycan Colony. There is no reason why a person who has never made a film in his entire life before should have been able to convince a bunch of poor, used people for his own screwed up creations and get away with it. Because of the shame and pointlessness of the "film" (if you can call it that) Rob Roy should owe each cast/crew member (if there were any besides himself) $10,000,000 in damages and the biggest apology ever to have existed. My mind becomes a plate of maggot infested brain fluids with a side of melted Jell-O every time somebody mentions the movie Lycan Colony. What's even worse is if I hear the names Rob or Roy, I completely get on edge. My hairs stand up, my heart rate fastens, and I start to panic. Please, I beg all of you who are even considering seeing this movie, just turn away. It's not worth your life.

Thanks a lot Rob Roy... You suck.

They used Party City rental tiger mascot costumes for werewolves!

This is surely a high school student's first semester film class assignment. No other explanation of how this hot mess got made. Horrendous steaming pile of 4 letter word.

No plot, horrendous acting (really can't even call it acting), amateurish camera work (and by camera I mean a cell phone camera) , non-existent consistency, zero direction as the participants (cannot legally call them actors) clearly were calling their own shots & making it up on the go, special effects were at the level you'd expect from humans in the year 3000 BC & that's not exaggerating, location/shot scale was lol horrible (one shot the participants would be shown standing next to a regular size tree, the next shot they'd be standing in front of the same tree that was 100 times zoomed larger by green screen, participants would step out of bar & it would be daytime & they'd walk into the woods where it suddenly would be night time & once they got to their location within the woods, it would be daytime again (this is over a period of 3 minutes), & this list could go on & on.

Anything that could be done badly, incorrectly, & wrong in a movie, you can just add here for this steaming pile of 4 letter word!

Director and writer Rob Roy has had a strong connection to wolves his entire life. It started after he first saw Balto, which inspired him to create his own wolf film. The film you're about to reach about. The film during which he attempted to contact Balto star Kevin Bacon for a cameo before being somewhat ironically chased off the actor's property by dogs.

He told the Nashua Telegraph, "Let me say first of all that I am an animal lover. No werewolves were hurt during the making of Lycan Colony. I've always loved werewolf movies, but I'm tired of seeing the same storyline over and over again. The werewolf is always a sick tormented beast. He's always the bad guy. In Lycan Colony, we filled a whole town with them. Some are good, some are bad. None of them are these simple monsters that show up for five minutes at the end of the movie. They're the life and blood of a modern town, and much closer to us than we're used to seeing in these movies."

Roy is self-taught and learned every aspect of filmmaking - from make-up effects to building his own camera dollies, animatronic heads and blood sprayers as well as building his own blue-screen shooting area in his garage - while making this movie.

Dr. Daniel Solomon (Bill Sykes), a disgraced alcoholic surgeon, and his family move to a small town in the wake of one of his surgeries under the influence costing a patient their life. He has an AA sponsor so bad that he takes him to a bar afterward, a bar where he meets a brother and sister who are ex-military and looking for their adventurer father. Seconds after they explain the inscription on their father's watch, the bartender ends up dropping it on their table, which is like Chekov's gun going off before you even see it. This leads to a werewolf attack within the bar, the military brother getting killed and Daniel falling through what can only be a warp zone to escape.

Meanwhile, Daniel's son Stewart (Ryan O Roy) has fallen for Sarah (Libby Collins), who comes ot his room late at night and brings him to a graveyard where she bites his chest and makes him one of the cursed under the full moon.

Who can save the day? Maybe its Athena, the witch played by Kristi Lynn, who loaned all of her exotic animals to this movie which still doesn't explain why a spider monkey randomly shows up at the end. She licks everything with sight and then explains the history of werewolves in animation that I am not even remotely sure can be referred to as animation. Speaking of animation, the military guy has a neck tattoo that was added in post and it flickers. It's the most disconcerting take you out of the movie thing I've ever seen and yes, it is awesome.

Made in Hudson, Bedford, Goffstown, Merrimack and Manchester, New Hampshire - which is why this had the tagline "Welcome to New Hampshire...Live free or die!" - you'll perhaps struggle with some of the accents. These towns are the homes of stars like Seth Meyers, Sarah Slverman, Jane Balder from V, Grace Metalious who wrote Peyton Place and Adam Sandler. Perhaps most relevant to this film are the facts that GG Allin was born there as well as The Howling star Christopher Stone.

Keeping it local, the movie premiere at Chunky's Cinema Pub in Pelham on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2005 with a concert/film screening/Halloween costume contest extravaganza. At Chunky's you can order a Caesar Romero Salad, Wizard of Ozzarella Sticks, Reservoir Dogs (yes hot dogs), the Parmageddon Chicken Sandwich, a Kevin Bacon Burger, a Carrie Cosmo, the Catalina Wine Mixer Sangria, Jurassic Pork Tacos, Rum Forrest Rum or a Jabba the Hot Fudge Sundae.

If you ask Rob Roy, he says that this movie is about "The sensual underbelly of animalistic human beings and what happens when we surrender to that." He's expanded the universe of the film in Rage of the Theriomorphs, a book in which Dr. Dan, Dave, Russ, Stew, and Sarah are back and getting accustomed to their new lives and new rules. A new mysterious death has caused an uproar and a new threat to the entire town has arrived. This needs to be a movie, right?

Lycan Colony is the kind of movie that shuts off my brain and lets someone else drive. I never really recovered.
