Movie: silly, cheesy, family movies like this have no right to keep doing things that are actually funny in between all the dumb by-the-numbers schlock. Set your expectations right, eat up the charm, have a good time!
Werewolf quality: 6/10
I like the use of 4 distinct full-body practical costumes, I do not like how goofy they often looked.
Movie: a weird mix of serious and funny, wrapped up rather cheaply (everything happens off screen, for starters). Loosely adapts Guy Endore's The Werewolf of Paris, so comparisons to Curse of the Werewolf are inevitable; however, this manages to stand on its own mostly for Cushing's appearances. There's an attempt to ham up a colourful cast of characters, but everything lacks depth - this feels suited for something playing in the background, rather than a full-focused movie night.
Movie: 18 years after Lycan Colony, werewolf visionary Rob Roy returns to prove to us he really, really needs someone to confiscate his editing software.
The dialogue is often inaudible, the writing and pacing is incoherent, none of the cast can act, everything is cut at random, but, by God, are we getting the fruits of Rob's labour scouring sites for stock music, stock audio, and stock footage.

Movie: this is what happens when you end your shoots with "we'll fix it in post" and then beg your editor to make it even worse.
Actors forcing out stilted dialogue like they have a gun pointed at them or poorly paced action are pretty standard in most crappy zero-budget affairs, but editing is how Lycan Colony manages to stand out from the pack. Scenes are cut seemingly at random, boring things like colour filters and aspect ratios will change…
