My friend and I watched this one the other day and we both gave it a standing ovation. Normally I get heartbroken but this time I was cheering. Every once and awhile I get pleasantly surprised by the straight to video horror market and pull something special out of that barrel. I enjoyed "The Beast of Bray Road" immensely. Add a few scenes of topless women and you have a very entertaining horror movie. I love it when movies stick to the horror legend and don't try to make up some on their own. They even go so far as to make silver bullets to dispatch the monster. Thankfully, this werewolf is a wild, savage beast who relishes the opportunity to rip and tear through flesh and have a feast on the organs. You wouldn't believe how many supposed monster movies pull the classic bait and switch scam. Speaking of monsters, the werewolf in this one is actually a werewolf, not some sniveling animal.
There are lots of hot women who like to wander off on their own while monsters are prowling around. *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* "The Beast of Bray Road" has all the elements of a successful werewolf flick. All in all, very recommended for B-movie fans. This is definitely not a comedy, but the joke was good and unexpected. I was completely taken aback when I burst out laughing at a one-liner delivered by a drunk bimbo just before her demise in a car. All the actors make a good job and actually are given some basic development and dialogue to play with. The deaths are gruesome and plenty, sticking to a slasher template. The frequent and very clear views of the beast is a nice surprise for monster fans, and for the budget, I'll say it looks really good. It has blood, beasts and boobs (well, just one quick pair) and makes for the perfect midnight movie.

What this is is a fun, fast werewolf movie like you haven't seen in a while, better than recent submissions like "War Wolves" or "Never Cry Werewolf", shot efficiently on a tight budget. It's probably based on a true story told around a campfire.

So what happens when The Asylum veers away from their Hollywood cheap send-ups and puts their heart into something original ? Well, a damn good b-movie, that's what ! "The Beast of Bray Road" is apparently based on local Wisconsin lore, but do not think this "based on true events" tag line means your next Lindsay Wagner & Robert Urich TV movie of the week.
