Director Larry Fessenden pumped new life into Frankenstein\u2019s monster with 2019\u2019s \u201cDepraved<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The genre veteran’s attempt to reimagine the werewolf genre, alas, deserves a swift silver bullet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlackout\u201d is sluggish from start to finish and marinates in stale progressive talking points. The creature itself is the ultimate let down. When a horror film\u2019s budget is this low, you\u2019re better off showing less, not more.<\/p>\n

That worked for Steven Spielberg and the malfunctioning robot shark in \u201cJaws,\u201d<\/a> no?<\/p>\n

Not here. It\u2019s hardly the only flaw in this bargain-basement dud.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

A nasty prologue hearkens back to \u201880s slasher films, from the gratuitous nudity to its practical effects. No movie should peak in the first five minutes.<\/p>\n

We soon meet Charley (Alex Hurt, son of the late William Hurt), a haunted artist looking for a fresh start.<\/p>\n

Or is it an ending?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s eager to leave his small town of Talbot Falls but something keeps getting in the way. Whenever the moon is full he turns into a werewolf and everything he tried to achieve during the day falls apart.<\/p>\n

Charley is obsessed with a local developer (Marshall Bell) eager to build a resort sure to hurt the region\u2019s ecosystem. How bold to make the villain a rich developer who only sees dollar signs!<\/p>\n

Our hairy hero also tries to shield a Mexican immigrant from locals who insist the \u201cnewcomer\u201d is responsible for a recent murder.<\/p>\n

If you sense writer\/director Fessenden has a progressive axe to grind, give yourself a prize.<\/p>\n
