The Night of the Wererooster is a horror-comedy film from 2015 that offers a fresh and hilarious take on the classic werewolf genre. Directed by Jason B. Turner and written by Justin Armao, this movie stars Lance Blaylock, Carleigh Hewa, and Duane P. Holliday in the lead roles. The film is set in the small town of Plum Grove, Texas, where Rex, a rooster, is left in charge of a chicken coop while his owner is away. Little does he know that the full moon will transform him into a wererooster, and chaos will ensue. The small community of Plum Grove is soon plagued by a series of gruesome murders, and the only potential suspect is Rex the wererooster.

The movie starts off slowly, building up tension with a series of unconventional camera angles and eerie sound effects. As the story progresses, we see the town's residents become increasingly paranoid and scared, as they come to realize that a monster is on the loose. Meanwhile, Rex, the wererooster, is struggling to come to terms with his newfound abilities and the fact that he has become a threat to those he loves.

One of the standout features of this film is its humor. The Night of the Wererooster is packed with tongue-in-cheek jokes and clever one-liners that poke fun at the horror genre. The film is not afraid to make fun of itself, which adds to the overall enjoyment of the experience. There are several scenes that will have the audience laughing out loud, in spite of the gory and macabre subject matter.

The performances in The Night of the Wererooster are top-notch, especially considering the fact that many of the actors are relatively unknown. Lance Blaylock delivers a solid performance as Rex, the titular character, bringing depth and emotion to the role. Carleigh Hewa is also great as Sarah, Rex's owner, who is struggling to cope with the fact that her beloved pet has become a monster. Duane P. Holliday gives an outstanding performance as the town's sheriff, who is determined to get to the bottom of the murders, even if it means going up against a wererooster.

One of the most impressive things about The Night of the Wererooster is its use of practical effects. The movie relies heavily on old-school special effects, such as makeup and prosthetics, to bring the wererooster to life. The result is a creature that looks and feels tangible, which is refreshing in an age where CGI is often overused. The practical effects also add to the movie's charm, giving it a vintage, B-movie feel.

Overall, The Night of the Wererooster is a fun and entertaining horror-comedy that fans of the genre will surely enjoy. It manages to be both scary and funny, without ever taking itself too seriously. The film's blend of humor and horror is what makes it truly unique, and it is definitely worth a watch for anyone looking for something fresh and different.

The Night of the Wererooster is a 2015 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.2.
