I really enjoyed the movie. However, there were moments that I felt like I was watching a movie on Hallmark or Lifetime. My wife enjoyed the relationships between the brothers and Samantha love triangle and the father reuniting with his son at the end of the movie. When my wife is enjoying a movie, it normally means that she and her girlfriends are huddled up around the TV watching a chick flick. I twisted her arm to watch it with me and she gave it a 9 and I gave it a 5, so the average is 7 which is what I rate this movie. I thought that Stacey Keach did a great job as well as Jason London, Erin Cahill, and Wes Brown (who I had never heard of before, but he is working on a lot of current TV series based on IMDb resume). So, if you are looking for a real movie, Storm War is a good choice! But, if you want another campy SyFy movie with horrible effects, poor lighting, and laughable acting...then you shouldn't watch this movie! Storm War was in no way perfect. The senator was a really bad actor...he didn't even know what he was saying sometimes. Long time television actor Gary Grubbs even looked like he was off his game. The main characters are all solid, but the supporting cast were average at best. The visual effects were actually really really good and way better than I expected from a SyFy movie. So, there are lots of things that I liked about this movie and some that I didn't like...but overall it is worth the watch!

Fun Movie - I give it a B
14 April 2011
This movie was fun to watch although it drags on a bit at times. I have to say that I was more impressed with the acting in this low budget horror flick than the majority of the cookie-cutter characters I'm used to seeing in horror movies. If you are looking for a movie full of blood and guts, this may not be your cup of tea. But, if you want to watch a fun movie with good acting and some decent scares, this is your kind of movie. If you are looking for a decent horror movie that is a cross between suspense and a slasher, this is a good choice. The house that we are at for a majority of the movie has a pretty creepy look to it. I wish the director would have milked the kills a bit more and built a little more tension as there weren't as many jump scares as I expected. All in all, it is definitely worth the watch.

Monsterwolf was Great Fun!
11 October 2010
I am an avid watcher of SyFy's original movies and always find myself laughing at the how poorly made the films are, so when I finished watching Monsterwolf on Saturday night, I have to admit that SyFy has stepped it up with this one! Sure, the CGI wolf was laughable at times, but overall the effects were pretty good, the cast was great, the script was fun, and some of the locations were beautiful. I hope to see more quality movies like this from SyFy as I was a little concerned about the future of the Saturday night premieres after some of the recent releases. The frustrating thing for me when I typically watch these movies is that it is pretty clear that they don't care if the movie looks good, don't care about the effects, don't care about the acting. It was nice to feel like SyFy actually cared about making a good movie! Haha.
