This low budget film is an absolute hoot! Filmed at Sportsman's marina in Abingdon, Virginia...a great place for fishing and camping.
You will laugh your hiney off at this movie, it's cheesy and hilarious! I mean, c'mon, it's a Wererooster! LMAO

Would be better as pure slapstick horror parody, but still------

If you have a weakness for checking out cheap---really cheap---"monster thrillers", you may find a few things to like about this. Yes, the plot is requisitely stupid, the script's laden with your usual moronic dialogue, and characters are dispatched in standard fashion. But the photography isn't bad and several of the cast members have talent--something not often seen in movies about giant bloodthirsty roosters and such. Unfortunately, they're saddled with the usual "who's going to get it next" plot because--as you're no doubt aware--psychotic rooster-men are not satisfied with simply scaring people. Those of you who have nothing better to do may want to see how the hero deals with these ware-fowl at the end. Just give your sense of logic a siesta and pop some corn.

A group of heavily-armed people gather in the deep wilderness, each having lost a loved one to an ignominious demise. Horror most fowl arises, as THE NIGHT OF THE WEREROOSTER begins!
Featuring a gaggle of numbskull characters spewing one featherbrained groaner after another, this movie is a near total cluck-up! Shot for an estimated $600.00, it's main problem is its length, as it could have benefited from losing about 30 minutes of padding. Plus, the non-finale is anything but exciting or satisfying.
Still, all things considered, it's certainly no BIRDEMIC! So, grab a bucket of chicken and your favorite beverage -or ten!-, and prepare to be moderately entertained.
WARNING: Contains intense scenes of deadly rooster droppings!...

Completely without merit

THE NIGHT OF THE WEREROOSTER is another pointlessly bad indie horror spoof. This one's about a monster in the woods bumping off various unsuspecting folk who have been summoned there by a mysterious young woman. The titular monster is barely glimpsed and perhaps that's for the best as this film's production values are rock bottom and it's completely without merit.
Hilarious and Campy, must see if you like cheesy horror comedy!

This is comedy gold... Yes, it is semi-low budget and ultra campy. I liked it... I think most people that like a good laugh would enjoy this. Not too bloody or sexy, would be ok to watch with your teenage kids. Do not try to watch this and take it seriously because that is totally not the point of the movie. This is no day at the beach. This is the Night of the Wererooster!!! I don't want to give away too much about the film but I have to come up with another 200 characters before I can hit submit so you could really stop reading at this point because I am just typing to fill the word quota...

The survivors of people who have gone missing or died in the woods get a letter from Charlotte Reeves (Carleigh Hewa) claiming she knows what happened. The group travel to an island (?) that doesn't have any bears and discover their relatives were killed by a wererooster. Colonel Sanders is a supernatural hunter like Kolchak (for guys my age). Yes, the film had bad puns and in a few places paid homage to LOTR. Sanders had a pocket knife that glows blue whenever something supernatural is around. The movie included black and white flashbacks.
Considering they shot this on a $600 budget (IMDB claim), they did great. No mikes in the picture, no hollow sound, no stage hand shadows in the scene, good camera angles. The film was camp, but not overly camp. It had many good scenes and others where I thought they needed to tighten up the dialogue. The entertainment had a certain juvenile quality to it with the sexual aspects, but not to the point of a bad teen sex comedy. Some less than stellar line readers.
Guide: Minor swearing, use of Freakin' like another f-word. Back nudity, implied topless. Implied sex.

Night of the Wererooster (2015) - The best thing I can say about this very odd indie film is that the character development is awesome.
By the 15-minute mark, you have a crystal-clear picture of the personalities you are going to spend the next hour-plus with. And writer/director David G. Radford made them all stand out in their own unusual way.
He also got the most out of a reported $600 budget. OK, truth be told, it didn't go very far.
There are ZERO special effects. And if you're expecting to see an incredibly hilarious Wererooster outfit, forget it.
I will say that Radford made pretty creative use of feathers.
The story revolves around a young woman named Charlotte Reeves (Carleigh Hewa), who summons a group of people to a camping area to help her track down a monster.
All of them had family members who were lost in the woods, never to be seen again. Charlotte says that she, too, lost her entire family at the hands, er, claws of a supernatural killer rooster.
And she wants it to pay.
So off they go on an adventure that is filled with odd behavior, a lot of bickering, strange occurrences, and a deadly rooster poop out of the sky that has to be seen to be believed.
I really, really enjoyed Carleigh Hewa as Charlotte. I was so disappointed to see that this is her only full-length movie appearance. I hope she does more.
I'd tell you more about the other characters, but better for you to just watch it on Tubi. TV and see for yourself. I found them to be enthusiastically, interestingly, and professionally portrayed by a cast of unknowns.
Oh, and watch out for a surprise "bonus" monster. Yes, folks, there is a Werehen.
You may hate me for it later, but I have to give this movie a solid recommend.
Just please, please, PLEASE don't go into it expecting the world. It's nothing really more than a campy good time. Bring some beer.
Sometimes that's all that you need.
