A WEREWOLF IN SLOVENIA is a terrible 'mockumentary' about a film crew visiting Slovenia in order to prove the truth of the werewolf legend. It's mercifully short, but that doesn't stop it from being laughable and dull in equal measure. It's a surprise given that director Philip Gardiner previously helmed an interesting documentary on writer Colin Wilson, STRANGE IS NORMAL, which I really enjoyed watching.
I actually watched this because I thought it was a B-movie horror film and I suppose in some respects it is. Certainly there are a few would-be actors in here, putting on phoney accents in a bid to convince us that they're Slovenian. The first half of the production goes through all of the old information about werewolves in folklore and legend, solemnly intoning that "a werewolf can only be killed with a silver bullet", like nobody knows that.
The climax seems to be a reaction of the infamous Roger Patterson Bigfoot footage as the crew are lucky enough to spot a werewolf squatting at the edge of the wood (he looks like he's answering a call of nature). Unfortunately this is a guy in a tatty monkey costume with a plant pot for his nose, I kid you not. It has to be the most ridiculous 'reveal' I've ever seen, and cements A WEREWOLF IN SLOVENIA as one of the all-time worst.
