There is nothing about this movie that is good, but I can't honestly label everything about it as awful. The son was a decent actor and it's certainly a unique execution of a creatively bankrupt idea. The rest was fucking awful. It would take far too long to rattle off all the issue with the movie, so let's just boil it down to a few examples that are representative of the overall quality of the movie. Early on, we have a scene of two kids in a graveyard and the have them talk (well, literally 90% of all audio is ADR or canned sound effects) while they play a male and a female laughing track, meaning this two kids are laughing and talking at the same time. Most of the movie is tinted blue because they filmed during the day, but the scene takes place at night (which doesn't really seem to matter because whatever we see out of the windows never matches what time of day it is when we go outside). They shot scenes in the forest, yet many scenes are obviously green screened over B-roll from the forest. My favorite mistake is perfectly representative of the terrible that is made worse by the terrible actors (who were obviously forgetting their lines)
A guy is explaining that concentrated silver can kill a werewolf, but trace amounts of it can have benefits. The guy says trace amounts have a "municipal effect". Now, maybe there is some other definition of "municipal" that I'm not privy to, but I'm 98% sure he was supposed to say it has a "medical" effect. Is this a case of the script being poorly written or did the actor flub his line? The thing is, each scene has so many cuts that you have to assume that you are getting the best take of each little section of the scene, so did they not notice he said the wrong word or did he correctly recite the line as written and Rob Roy is an idiot? Lycan Colony is 100% a "good bad" movie, but has zero value otherwise. It was a blast to watch with friends and laugh at (never with though, because all of the humor is awful) and pick apart. Turning to one another to see if everyone else caught the floating tattoo was hilarious. Everyone saying "What?" in sync was amazing. Reading the lyrics to the songs in the soundtrack as the captions came up and trying to figure out what the fuck they mean and why is this song, which is totally opposite of what is happening on screen, playing, was a lot of fun. The movie itself is an irredeemable piece of shit, no question, but there is fun to be had if you know how to find it.
