War Wolves, Adrienne Barbeau is in it!

Adrienne Barbeau is in this movie! Yes! Thank heavens Bea Arthur is not! Oh, guess what! John Saxon is in it...so is Tim Thomerson, Art LaFleur, and Marin Kove! This movie features babe she-wolves (not Ilsa), two hot lesbian motel managers, a dysfunctional AA group, and the most awkward and embarrassing werewolf f/x ever put on camera. But...Adrienne Barbeau is in it. Today we look at 2009's "War Wolves," directed by and starring Michael Worth.  A good film? Infinitely better than any Oscar nominated piece of garbage with 16 nominations.

Let's skip the plot and just discuss a few things. First, Gail (Barbeau) is a fantastic character. The lady who gets Jake (Worth) to start coming to AA meetings would have been considered a conspiracy theorist-loon when this film was made in 2009. Today, she is the voice of wisdom. The three she-wolves (Natasha Alam, Kristi Clainos, and Siri Baruc) are gorgeous...and deadly. They seek Jake who is supposed to be their alpha-wolf, but like many of us, he desires to be a zeta-wolf...no ambition. Enter Tony (Saxon) and Frank (Thomerson) who are our monster hunters. They seek the army company that was turned into monsters in Iraq...and now the fiends feast on small California towns. 

I should pause here and remind you that Adrienne Barbeau is in this movie, which is a film a hundred times better than "Avatar."  The sultry she-wolf trio, who are battling PMS and PTSD, seek Jake... mostly because Erika, head she-wolf, loves him. Eventually the other two she-wolves get jealous and she-wolf catfights loom...find a scene like that in "Sinners"! Jake? He's cool and fighting what he has become. The AA meetings? You will need a drink after seeing them in this movie. There are fangs.  There are snouts.  You may be thinking you are watching the Broadway hit "Cats." Still...the monsters are sultry, Jake is a hunk, and John Saxon as a monster hunter is something movie audiences have been demanding since "Blood Beach."

Will we get the she-wolf catfight?  Will Jake have pre-marital sex with Erika or murder her? Will you need to go to AA after seeing this film? Remember, the babe from "Swamp Thing" is in this movie. So resist the garbage the Academy Awards would push on you, as most people of the world will, and see a prescient film from 2009, "War Wolves."
