Bubba
the Redneck Werewolf (2014) is the new film by independent
filmmaker Brendan Jackson Rogers that is a pretty fun Z grade
Werewolf movie, similar in tone to Wolf Cop (reviewed
elsewhere on this site). Based on Mitch Hyman's long running comic
book series, the film comes from a screenplay by Steve Biro
(Unearthed Films) and stars Fred Lass as Bubba - a wisecracking,
typical redneck who becomes a werewolf after signing his soul over to
the devil, in an attempt to impressive his high school sweetheart,
who isn't too into him anymore.
Bubba
also stars Malone Thomas, Mitch Hyman, and Chris Stephens.
While
the film is pretty fun, its low budget shows through in many
instances, namely in some of the digital and special effects (even
the makeup on Bubba isn't that impressive), but what saves the movie
is its heart and its well developed characters. This isn't a serious
werewolf film of course (wait until you hear the name of the county
in it) but definitely more of a comedy, so a lot can be forgiven.
Presented
in standard definition with an anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of
1.77:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the film looks and sounds
standard for DVD and is nothing special or awful in terms of
presentation. A Blu-ray edition would be a welcome upgrade.
Extras
include...

A
winner on the film festival circuit, Bubba is mainly for those who
like their wolf men a bit on the funny side, but doesn't compare to
the style and story of a Wolf Cop.
