Blurb:
“Cult film master Mark Polonia – with nearly a hundred film credits on his resume – delivers quite possibly his most entertaining venture to date, with a Gothic industrial rock soundtrack (courtesy of Cleopatra Records) perfectly setting the mood for one wild and crazy “howling at the moon!”
Reviews:
“The werewolf mask is kinda decent, with big fangs and glowing red eyes. But it’s quite obviously inorganic, and the rest is mostly around the level of Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla, with basically non-existent transformations. There is some nudity […] I have to say, I was acceptably entertained.” Rating: C+ Film Blitz
“Cocaine Werewolf doesn’t hold back on nudity and risqué themes, using these elements more as functional parts of the narrative than mere shock value. The film’s humor spans from witty to wince-inducing, with playful digs at typical horror clichés injecting fun into the mix. For gritty, unpolished B-movies fans, Cocaine Werewolf is a delightful treat.” ★★½ Overly Honest Reviews
“While Cocaine Werewolf doesn’t quite rise to the level of zaniness I expected from such a title, a scene or two has the occasional vibe that might give it a shelf life beyond a single viewing […] A few practical creature effects do give it some minor zing, but I suspect those who might enjoy this best are those inebriated by whatever controlled substance tickles your fancy most.” Sci-Fi History
“With Mark Polonia’s films being such a mixed bag, I have to admit I had my reservations going into Cocaine Werewolf. But, not only is it above average compared to the director’s other films, it can hold its own among microbudget films in general. It’s a good choice for when you just want something light to keep you amused for a while.” ★★★ Voices from the Balcony
