───    PROJECT:  METALBEAST   (   1995   )

An excerpt from Craig J. Clark's essay, as seen in WEREWOLVES VERSUS: THE 1990s.

I’m not bragging when I say I’ve reviewed more than 3,000 films in the past nine years. I’m simply stating a fact. Another fact: In that time, I’ve covered close to 120 werewolf (and werewolf-related) films. This may be a small part of the whole, but it’s a rather high percentage of the werewolf films that are out there. Accordingly, I like to think I’m something of an authority on them, but there’s one that I’ve seen (twice, in fact) and never bothered to review, and that is 1995’s Project: Metalbeast. (Actually, there are two if you count the same year’s Werewolf, but I’ve only ever seen the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of it. No need to rake that one over the coals since it’s already been eviscerated so capably.) With this issue’s theme in mind, I decided the thing to do was to review Project: Metalbeast without the aid of Wikipedia or the IMDb. Any inaccuracies in the following, therefore, are the fault of my imperfect memory and not due to any ill will toward the makers of the film, whoever they are.
