Reception
Critical reception was negative. Dread Central rated the movie at 2 1/2 out of 5 blades, calling it "a fairly straightforward cliché-a-thon that wraps itself up in highly convenient third act character revelation that sure comes in handy when trying to send an eco-terrorist wolf monster back to its spiritual nature preserve. It’s also pretty watchable. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it pretty good, but it is certainly watchable in a nothing-better-on Saturday afternoon matinee sort of way." TV Spielfilm was ambivalent in their rating.
Curt Wagner for the Chicago Tribune panned Monsterwolf, criticizing it as "so bad it sucks - and it's not even about vampires!"
