Reviews:
“While this is not the worst film I have ever seen, the level of incompetence is so thorough as to almost be awe-inspiring. First-time writer/director Rob Roy has never made another film. So credit to him for having at least some self-awareness about his own talent. (Or there was a restraining order placed preventing him from getting within fifty feet of a movie camera. Either is possible).” 1 out of 10, Cinematic Diversions
“Trust me, there are things that happen in this movie, you just won’t care about any of them because yer gonna be too busy shaking your head at all the weird, cheap, and just poorly done elements, mistakes, and bad choices in this flick.” Indie Film Cafe
“It’s bad. It’s really bad. There are certain levels of bad you might expect here. It’s a low-budget werewolf film by a one-time director. That bar is set nice and low now. Somehow, they still manage to trip over said bar and embarrass themselves. They use CGI for things that they shouldn’t need it for.” Mondo Bizarro
” …a jaw-dropping piece of WTF cinema that really should be seen at least once by SOV cinema fans and completists, bad movie buffs and anyone with a taste for the absurd. The closest I can come to an equivalent to watching Lycan Colony is another example of digital mayhem, the original Birdemic.” ★★★ Voices from the Balcony
Blu-ray release:
Lycan Colony will be issued on Special Edition Blu-ray by Visual Vengeance, a sister label to Wild Eye Releasing, on October 24, 2023.
“An astoundingly ambitious and riveting example of pure outsider cinema, Lycan Colony’s reputation is well earned as every bizarre creative decision unfolds and you are dropped into its metaphysical alternate reality. Lycan Colony now enjoys its first time ever on Blu-ray and is packed with bonus features, including the full RiffTrax version and a brand new interview with writer/ producer/ director Rob Roy.”

Laughably, some clueless horror websites have lazily just cut and pasted the Visual Vengeance press release for this movie which describes it as a “cult classic”. Tellingly, Lycan Colony was previously described by bad movie leeches RiffTrax as “the worst movie we’ve ever done.” Watch the trailer below and decide for yourself whether this is indeed a “cult classic”.
