Okay, this may be a difficult film to defend. Still, we have a lot of werewolves ripping Japanese and American GIs to shreds. Pulling out their internal organs, backbones, swatting their heads off...good gore, in other words. Then we have a sultry South Pacific island princess who also changes into a werewolf. Okay, stop in! No PMS metaphors here. Today we will look at a film directed by Louis Mandylor, 2024's "Operation Blood Hunt."
Here is the plot...not that it will help. A haunted OSS operative, Murphy (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) during World War 2 runs a bar. A Nazi vampire (Mandylor) storms in and is beaten into submission by Murphy and his two sultry, corset clad bar wenches (Emma Lund and Alejandra Norris). Then Rev (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson) arrives and skewers the vampire on his sword. The wenches and Murphy continue to torment the Nazi. Fast forward, Rev is sent to a pacific island with a commando team of US marines. His desire is to learn of his dad and why he went there and probably died there. The island is terrorized by werewolves and the fiends have shredded all the Japanese and U.S. soldiers.
Okay, a sultry princess, Heirani (Sonia Couling) goes through a ceremony and becomes a femme werewolf. Now she and an alpha werewolf (Stratos Cristos Maygias) terrorize the Rev and the commando unit. One by one, the GIs fall to the monsters. Back at home, Murphy spies on the spies and figures out the OSS does not plan to extract his buddy when the mission is complete. The GIs find gold and try to take it, but the werewolves converge. More heads will be swatted off. More limbs will be pulled off. More spines will be torn out. The Rev will get to use his silver crossbow and shotgun with silver bullets. Those weapons just about even the score.
I dare you to tell me I did not do a good job at informing you of the plot. If you think that, watch the film. All that aside, this is a neat werewolf film with a lot of carnage, gore, and grunting. It also has a nice Film Noir feel to it. For something a little different, or a lot different, see "Operation Blood Hunt."
