Try the ‘made for cable’ &/or ‘straight to video’ movies.
(that mostly end up on the ‘syfy’ channel)

Such as:

“Warwolves” (prostetics courtesy of Party City)
“Wolves of Wall St.”
“Never Cry Werewolf”
etc.

they just stopped trying

In Van Helsing, I think the first werewolf is pretty decent, the second one is odd, and the third one is waaaaaaaay too cartoony and fake. A botched attempt to make a ‘sexy’ werewolf, except perhaps not so botched judging from the reactions of some people to it I have read on the internet ;P

I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to werewolf design so I could write up a whole damn list of my own on this subject.

But I can’t understand what’s all the hate on Van Helsing one?… Design wise it’s probably my favorite movie werewolf (except it’s missing tail and ears being a bit large), it’s more wolf than most werewolves on film that try to be half horror movie monster with a hint of wolf for good measure and I guess that’s just my preference but it certainly doesn’t deserve to be that list in my opinion.

Also New Moon isn’t werewolves, even though most people are referring to them as that and by a techincal term I suppose you could, but they are skinwalkers or more or less people that can change into wolves (very large wolves), but not the hybrid manwolf hybrid that is commonly known as a werewolf. I’ll go and see it just because I love just about anything with wolves in it and not just werewolves ^..^

I actually liked the werewolf in HP .. but I never read the books, so I don’t know if it was right or not. I also liked the Underworld werewolves, though the movies are stinkos.

And for those that don’t know… there’s a new clip from “New Moon” out, and apparently they must have polished up the CG on the werewolves, because it definitely looks better. Still kinda weak, but better.
