I have to admit that if it wasn't for the "recommended titles" based on my previous purchases I would never have heard of this little gem.
It starts off, like Rawhead Rex, with an American family driving through rural Ireland, however here writer Colum Kennedy is taking his new family to his ancestral home that he left years ago.
The village is full of strange people, including one particularly nasty piece of work and yes lots of wolfhounds, the reason will become clear before long (after a fashion).
The cover really gives the game away, it's a shape-changing movie but not what you may have expected. The changes themselves are pretty lame no CGI mega budget here.
What you do see is lots of flesh, particularly that of Playboy centrefold Julie Cialini and a couple of other starlets.
It's in 4:3 ratio not widescreen, do not adjust your set.
As shape-shifter movies go it's OK but no more than that. It just scrapes 3 stars as it has a few original ideas, but the plot has too many holes, which is a shame as what could have been an intriguing story loses it's way big style.
As regards extras there's just a trailer and a photo gallery, mostly concentrating on Julie Cialini, no surprise there.
It's harmless escapist nonsense, and there's nothing wrong with that.

A pleasant surprise

I wasn't expecting much from this dvd, but Playboy Playmate of the Year Julie Cialini delivers. She even does the FFN! Guest appearance by Julie K Smith & Regina Russell makes a nice addition to the cast.

Bland but different shapeshifter movie.
29 Jan 2011
Format:DVD
Wolfhound is about a man who returns to the Irish village he grew up in to write a book, he brings with him his wife and two children. Once the family have settled into their new home strange things seams to be happening, the other inhabitants of the village seam to all know something and strange dogs run around, our protagonist also have strange flashbacks and the movie really do try to build up a mysterious mood, unfortunately it do not exactly do a good job of it.
All in all I do not think Wolfhound was bad, there are some good characters and it is a bit different take on the whole wereanimal/shapeshifter theme. The problem with this movie however is that it is bland, the town it all takes place in are bland, the inside of the protagonist home are bland, the drama between the protagonist, his wife and the lovely weredog woman who becomes his lover are bland, to put it plainly, this movie get boring at times.
Wolfhound have allot going for it, however it moves to slowly and the filmmakers seams to forget they are working with a visual media. There are scenes which are great, but there is also so much which is just mediocre. Also I did not like the ending, I am not going to spoil things here, but it leaves so many questions unanswered.
If you have seen so many were and shapeshifter movies that anything a bit different is a piece of heaven then you might enjoy this, other than that this movie do not have allot going for it. I think it was rather okey at times so I give it three stars, but there are far to many areas where this movie is just bland.

Come on Amazon -- there are two different films here
20 Mar 2010
Format:DVD
For some reason, two completely different films that happen to have the same name
(the 2008 Russian film at Wolfhound and the 2002 'horror film' at Wolfhound (Unrated Edition)) are getting the same set of reviews posted to both -- some on Amazon, get your site sorted out; this is amateur hour
