The only reason that I haven't rated this movie as a 1 is that the camera work and editing are reasonable enough.
That is where any praise at all ends.
The script is terrible and the acting is (on the most part) even worse. The plot is weak and any attempt to build tension fails dismally, partly but not completely, due to the ineffective score.
I can't stress enough: this isn't one of those films that is "so bad it's good". It's just plain bad.

Looking for a Great Werewolf flick?!? This ain't it...
Anytime I see I a new movie that's come out which reportedly states it's about I begin to get my hopes up. After all lycanthropes are probably my favorite thing to watch coming out of Hollywood. Like I said, "I begin" then reality sets in and reminds how 90% of the few werewolf movies made these day plain SUCK.
"As The Village Sleeps" is no exception. From the very beginning you can it was cheaply filmed. The characters (who couldn't act) are all dislikable except for possibly the older married couple. The writing was inconsistent with plot holes all over the place. People just went missing without any explanation. The special effects and make-up were high school level. And the conclusion will leave you saying "Seriously?!?".
Yeah this film is that bad and it's people like this that give this type movie genre a bad reputation. Hopefully they'll move on to making zombie flicks. They can try to peddle their fare there in that flooded market.
