A good movie. Better acting than the norm for Goosebumps and the plotline is a bit thicker than usual. Although the actors continue to be scared of the tiniest things - as in, exaggeration - it's good creepy fun. Decent SFX for this type of movie. The Wolf-in-the-house-chase with Emily is terribly executed, effects wise. Otherwise good work.

This video tape i saw at school. In Ms.Ahern's room. It was creepy. There was this family,and this boy named Grady and this girl named Emily. They were afraid of their new town,or bored.
Then,Grady meets Will,and Will tells him legends of the werewolves. And,about the town. Grady gets murdered by a werewolf,and he finds out that Will is a werewolf.
He gets a fever,then he's a werewolf,too. This video was all right. I could live with it.

This movie is great. The werewolf is scary when the sister first sees it in the living room. The effects are alright for this kind of a movie. The acting is good and the plot is great. It's a great movie!

I don't feel this quite matches "Night In Terror Tower," "Welcome To Dead House," "The Haunted Mask," or "The Haunted Mask Part 2." But we must not overlook 2nd best. In this day and age, we are often lead into shunning 2nd best. That is not always a good idea. Well, onto the review. It is not the best Goosebumps video (in my opinion), but it does have worthy elements. As usual in good horror, the story STARTS normal and harmless. (Good!) I don't feel the family is as well drawn as the one in "Welcome To Dead House," but it is alright. The (harmless?) eccentric serves to grab our attention quickly. Some of the Goosebumps videos have better scenery, but there is a spooky charm to the scenery in this one. Will is a well drawn character who seems normal enough but makes us nervous at times. It is interesting how Grady wants to stay away from trouble (a possible werewolf), but when his dog is starting to fall under suspicion of bad things, he summons his courage and tries to find out what is happening. I can't tell you too much more without ruining the video, so I will just say that the rest is captivating. One very well drawn scene is the one where the director alternates between shots of Emily and Grady. Also, a memorable situation is when Grady has to convince his mother (a scientist) that there may be things out there that science can't explain. Some people complaimed that this video is too predictable. But even if we know what is happening, that does not mean we can't still enjoy the charm it offers. It's only 45 minutes. So even if you figure out what is going on early, do yourself a favor and enjoy how everything leads up to the solution.

This video was really amazing becasue there was also a dog that struggles to protect Grady and his family from a hideous monster that has been wondering in the swamps for many years. IF there were 3 komondors dogs that are really hairy bigger and stronger than than Vandell then this would be no contest if they went up against the werewolf because Komonodor dogs are really strong and they have a really powerful bite like a pitbull. When grady was being attacked by the werewolf and Vandell came to the resuce and when the dog bit the werewolf's arm well the 3 komondors would all attack the werewolf bit the monster so hard maybe the werewolf would be crippled then grady would have been safe big time and he would sit back and watch the komondors tear the werewolf to shreds. But anyways I really like this movie if I scripted this movie then I would have put the 3 komondor dogs in the movie instead of Vandell.

Television addaption of sencond rate kiddie hack Stein's ripoff of the novel "Thor". I saw this when it first aired on prime time. Aside from a half stolen story, all the charactors were flat and one dimentional. The only charactor I had any sympathy for was Vandell the dog (probably the best performer in the entire cast). The charactor of the kid in the lead role turns out to be someone I'd rater punch his lights out than have as a friend. This is probably decent for kids, but I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone over their teenage years. You'll probably have the entire story (or at least the ending) figured out in the first ten minuits. I reccomend you check out "Bad Moon". This is a lot better movie (the werewolf makeup is about the best yet), and is based on the book from which half this story is stolen.

Even though I'm a teenager now, I remember watching this video in my sixth grade guidence counseling class at school. It was pretty good, at least that's what I thought. And I was right - I still think "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" is a good video. To make the summary of the video short and sweet, it's about this kid named Grady who lived with his family up in Burlington, Vermont but then they had to move down to the Florida Swamps because his parents (who were scientists) were studying these deer that were from another country and wanted to see if they could survive in America. Grady finds this dog (that looks like a wolf) and gets to keep it. When he meets another kid named Will Blake, Will tells him all about the werewolf and why they call the swamps, Fever Swamp. Soon, bad things start happening to Grady and his family and everybody blames Grady's dog for it. But then Grady discovers the truth about who's the real werewolf.

If you liked "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" the video, then you'll love the book. It's almost exactly the same as the video. Which is actually a good thing because I don't like it when movies or TV shows change the books that they are based on around a little too much. Then you have a hard time figuring out which is the right version of the story.

If you like a movie that is scary and suspenseful then you have found the right movie. I like The part when Grady's sister and mom go in the barn, and the werewolf tries to get in.

This was a pretty good movie. But it wasn't scary all the way through. I liked it but was scared by it. I would recomend The Haunted Mask or Night of the Living Dummy 1,2 or 3. Maybe if the made a sequal it would be better
