Now, a mysterious masked vigilante known as \u201cWolfman\u201d begins an armed rebellion against the fascist overlords armed with a artillery of bombs and a lot of guns. \u201cWolfman\u201d was shot on 2-perf 35mm film stock and really pops as a grindhouse throwback that threatens to become a banger of a cult classic.<\/p>\n<p>From the outset I was hooked on this concept, delving in to a world where California is Nazi territory. James Barry\u2019s titular avenger is a masked man in a menacing wolf mask who is in no short supply of machine guns and explosives. Kevin James Barry seems to be working on a small budget, but it\u2019s tough to really tell as he successfully realizes this world in such a small time frame.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a great back drop, a unique premise, a femme fatale, and an absolutely dynamic variety of characters that will either contribute to the Wolfman\u2019s freedom fight, or make it so much tougher. I don\u2019t know what Kevin James Barry has planned for the feature length story, but I hope there is a colorful array of villains, and some great bits of nazisploitation and throwbacks to John Carpenter. In either case, I had a blast with this sampling; \u201cWolfman\u201d is a concept short teeming with potential for a genre masterpiece.
