The Curse of Wolf Mountain is a legend that has been passed down through generations in a small town nestled at the foot of a mysterious mountain. According to the tale, the mountain is home to a pack of supernatural wolves who are cursed to roam the land forever. The story begins many centuries ago when a group of settlers arrived in the town. They were warned of the curse by the local Native American tribe, but they refused to believe in such superstitions. Ignoring the warnings, they decided to build their homes and establish a community at the base of the mountain. Everything seemed peaceful for a while, until strange occurrences started happening.
The film also boasts appearances from legends Danny Trejo and Tobin Bell. Trejo plays Eddie, a robber who along with Kenny Yates’ Joe finds himself having to bury a body and finds himself encountered by AJ and his group. Trejo is one of those actors who can not only elevate a film but no matter how small of a role it is, he brings it 125 percent. As for Bell, he opens and closes the film in the role of Dr. Avery, AJ’s psychologist who suggests he returns to Wolf Mountain. Now, one would imagine Bell, being known for his iconic Jigsaw in the Saw franchise, would have sinister means. However, it is far from the truth as he genuinely cares about AJ and his well-being.
There are some comedic moments when it comes to Eddie McClintock as Ric, AJ s neighbor and friend who watches the dog; Matt Rife as James, Max s girlfriend s boyfriend who is a bit out there as well as two park rangers who act as if they are in a buddy action comedy together with their conflict of views.

Legends Danny Trejo and Tobin Bell make cameos in this throwback to B-movie horror comedies from actor and filmmaker David Lipper.
Twenty years ago, AJ lost his parents while on a trip to Wolf Mountain. Seeing a psychologist, Dr. Avery, AJ taps into his repressed memories but always comes up short. Dr. Avery suggests that he should go back to Wolf Mountain and perhaps there, the memories will come back. AJ takes along his wife Samantha and brother Max, who had raised him since the death of their parents. Max brings along his wife Emma, daughter Lexi, and Lexi’s boyfriend James for the ride.
Upon their arrival, they hear of a legend of a possible werewolf on the mountain, hence the name. At first, things seem weird but okay. That is until they run into Eddie and Joe, two robbers who just killed someone and are in the middle of burying the body. However, soon enough, the group find themselves picked off one-by-one by a mysterious figure. As the survivors try to figure out who or what is killing them, AJ’s memories slowly begin to come back and realizes the responsible party may be the ones who killed his parents. Can AJ and the others make their way out of Wolf Mountain, or will he join his parents?
You have got to hand it to David Lipper. The former Full House star has been making waves in indie cinema over the past few years as an actor, producer, writer, and director. Teaming up with Keli Price again after playing brothers in 2020’s Reboot Camp, Lipper directs this throwback to the B-movie horror-comedies of the 80s and 90s that we used to see in our local mom and pop video stores before the DVD wave made the format obsolete until a resurgence of limited titles within the past few years.
Price himself is great in the role of AJ, a troubled young man who is trying to solve the mystery of his parents’ deaths years ago. Lipper plays his brother Max, who has been there for him and is in full support of his returning to Wolf Mountain to find closure. Karissa Lee Staples does a good job as well in the role of AJ’s wife Samantha, who wants AJ to finally close the chapter on his past. There are some comedic moments when it comes to Eddie McClintock as Ric, AJ’s neighbor and friend who watches the dog; Matt Rife as James, Max’s girlfriend’s boyfriend who is a bit out there as well as two park rangers who act as if they are in a buddy action comedy together with their conflict of views.

The Curse of Wolf Mountain is sure to please fans of the classic horror-comedies of the video store era. The cast is great and even the kills look pretty good and there is a nice twist to the story that will possibly make one’s jaw drop. A fun throwback film to check out.

Legend has it that the curse was placed upon the wolves by an ancient shaman, who sought to protect his people's sacred land. The shaman had warned the settlers not to disrupt the harmony of the mountain, but they had ignored his plea. As a result, the shaman invoked a powerful curse that bound the wolves to the mountain for all eternity. As time passed, the curse continued to plague the town. Residents would catch glimpses of the wolves, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. People grew fearful of venturing into the woods at night, for they knew that the wolves were always lurking in the shadows. Over the years, numerous attempts were made to break the curse. Experts in the supernatural, witches, and shamans from afar were brought in, but none could release the wolves from their eternal prison. The curse seemed unbreakable, and the town became known as the cursed town at the base of Wolf Mountain. Today, the legend lives on as a cautionary tale for those who dare to defy the forces of nature. The curse of Wolf Mountain serves as a reminder that some mysteries are better left unsolved and some boundaries are better left untraveled. The small town continues to exist, haunted by the never-ending presence of the cursed wolves. Despite the adversity they face, the townspeople have learned to live in harmony with the supernatural. They have adapted to the presence of the wolves, taking precautions to ensure their safety without disturbing the delicate balance of the curse. The Curse of Wolf Mountain stands as a testament to the power of the supernatural and the consequences of defying forces beyond our comprehension. It is a cautionary tale of the dangers of arrogance and the importance of respecting the mysteries of the world around us..

The Curse of Wolf Mountain was a huge disappointment. The plot was predictable, the characters were poorly developed, and the special effects were mediocre at best. The entire movie felt like a generic, cliché werewolf film with nothing new or interesting to offer. I was hoping for a thrilling and suspenseful experience, but instead, I found myself bored and uninterested in what was happening on screen. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this lackluster film.
2. Sarah - ⭐⭐
I had high hopes for The Curse of Wolf Mountain, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. The storyline had potential, but the execution was poor. The pacing was all over the place, and the transitions between scenes were choppy. The acting was subpar, and I couldn't make a connection with any of the characters. The film also lacked the suspense and intensity that I was hoping for. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with this movie.
3. Mike - ⭐⭐⭐
While The Curse of Wolf Mountain had its moments, it ultimately failed to deliver a truly engaging and compelling story. The plot felt disjointed and disconnected, leaving me confused at times. The dialogue was often cheesy and forced, making it hard to take the film seriously. The special effects were decent, but they couldn't save the lackluster storyline. I wanted to like this movie, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. I would recommend checking out other werewolf films instead.
4. Emily - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Curse of Wolf Mountain had potential, but it didn't live up to it. The story had some interesting elements, but they weren't utilized to their full potential. The pacing was slow, and the film lacked the suspense and excitement that I was expecting. The acting was mediocre, and the characters felt one-dimensional. Overall, it was an average movie that didn't leave a lasting impression. I wouldn't necessarily discourage others from watching it, but I also wouldn't recommend it as a must-see.
