I would classify this one as more of a thriller, rather than a slasher/horror film. Granted, there is a part near the end of the film that resembles something from a horror film, but it also felt out of place. This one had some entertaining qualities as it had Robert Forster who is usually good in this type of role and it was cool watching him try and find the creepy killer, but at times it veered into boring territory and pointless territory with unneeded subplots and characters.

The story has a guy kill a prostitute to open the film. Soon Forster is on the case and his ex who is a reporter goes insane trying to load the killer into striking. Meanwhile, the killer is rich and buys her station which kind of was pointless. Then a guy knows this dude is a killer and instead of telling the police he decides to do a little blackmail. Still, Robert Forster keeps getting closer and so does the reporter ex, dangerously so.

I like Robert Forster here and the guy who was Shaft is good as the chief. The reporter is annoying and the killer is okay. He gets more creepy as the film progresses. Still, the film needed more as it is just feels like it is missing a crucial ingredient.

So, I did not mind watching this one, but it was far from a good film. Forster carries the film, a couple of kills though nothing all that great as the killer uses a crossbow. Some nudity in this one as well. Kind of entertaining, but in a generic 80s movie kind of way.

This film is made by the same director as the one who did Lycan Colony. This one is both better than that film and worse at the same time. It has a bit better looking werewolf and the plot is less goofy; however, Lycan Colony has a bit more going on and therefore does not get as boring as this one does.

The story has a man who looks like Santa taking his wife to the middle of nowhere for a drink on their anniversary. She is abducted and seemingly killed by some beast in the woods. Flash ten years later and Santa has been reelected sheriff and killings begin taking place. Santa and his deputy, who looks like Elon Musk with a neck beard, teams up with a guy with a YouTube channel named Raven Nevermore to try and find the beast!

The acting is bad, but a bit better than Lycan Colony. The sheriff does alright, but the deputy is out of place and the YouTube guy is extremely hammy. Once again, the werewolf looks okay, but you barely see it in this film.

So the film is a bit boring and one wishes there is some more gore, but there is a twist or two to kind of make things interesting. No attractive girls in this one at all, no one cute like the girl who climbs the side of houses in Lycan Colony. So nothing good at all, just a very cheaply made werewolf film with a few surprises I guess.

For the life of me, I thought it could not get any worse. The absurdity of the first film would stand the test of time, that the director was bound to learn new techniques and perhaps grow as a director. Well forget that; instead, he crams this film with more pointless dates, more global warming preaching and somehow the attacking birds look worse! Come on man, when this came out there was probably a cheap AI program you could have used to make the birds look a bit more real! I saw the first film courtesy of Rifftrax and the same can be said if this one. It is about the only way I could have suffered through this one as it does not have any of the charm of the first film, which while bad, did not consist of mainly watching a couple walking from point a to point b. They skipped the second film, my guess because perhaps mirrors the first a bit too much?

So the story has a plank of wood dressed as a human meeting super downer girl at the beach where they immediately fall for each other probably due to their shared interest of talking about global warming with each other and everyone they meet! They even stop at a protest and listen forever! People walking dogs, let's talk global warming, I am sure they are fun at parties. They do dance at a place, but the singer is literally singing about the end of the earth. Well, much like the first film there is an event that happens (hotel sex) and bam, birds attacking. Not jarring this time as it was so obvious the director is doing the same freaking thing! Will the uncharismatic couple and Rod from the first film survive? Will anyone take a dump? Will the viewer care?

The cast is mainly made up of the guy who makes Rod seem way more like a human and the girl who is not nearly as attractive or as good an actress as the one who played Natalie who seemed way too good to be in the first film. Other than the Rod appearance most characters come and go with little fanfare. No businessmen, no horny friends just random pop up people ready to talk global warming on a dime.

So what you get in this film is the longest and most cringe date ever for like an hour and maybe twenty minutes of bird attacks. The birds look worse, there is no attempt to do gore and I almost think the director was not being serious except that if he was trying to be funny and parody the first film, then why all the preaching? Not a movie I can recommend other than on Rifftrax as it is not even bad in a good way. They made it way more enjoyable than it can on its own.
