Okay so look at that cover, look at that title! I went in with zero expectations, I believed I was likely in for another low budget werewolf mess and when I realized it was British my hopes flatlined.
It's been a longtime since I've been this wrong, this is one of the biggest surprises I've come across in years.
A British independent horror comedy with a werewolf theme that tells that story of a small village as a movie production crew begins filming a zombie movie locally. When the bodies start to pile up it falls on the incompetent police force and local bar buddies to save the day.
It looks as cheap as you'd expect and sadly when anything even remotely werewolf happens the lack of budget shows and hurts the film.
But that's literally all I have to say in criticism of The Snarling. Well cast with a host of vaguely familiar faces from various UK soaps and sitcoms and with some of the best writing I've come across in years! I chuckled, I laughed and I split my sides......this is a genuinely hilarious movie.
Absolutely beats the pants off of most werewolf films and for that matter films in general lately. Really oddly enjoyable.
The Good:
Some good laughs
Great transitions
Oddly good writing
The Bad:
Lack of budget hurt the film
