The Beast of Bray Road (2005)

A new Sheriff investigates reported creature sightings and missing persons. Then a cryptozoologist shows up, thinks the problem is a werewolf and insists on silver bullets. The Sheriff doesn't believe these sillly stories, even though the town has a legend of werewolves and Bigfoot, so it’s not like it came up out of the blue.

There is a definite low rent Jaws vibe going on.  Even though people are getting killed, the town leaders want to keep it quiet since it could ruin deer hunting season.  There is a Quint like character who claims he can kill it. Plus there is the line, “We’re definitely going to need bigger guns.”

Also problematic is the town is filled with abusive hillbillies. Plus the Sheriff’s girlfriend doesn’t want him to look for the beast because it could be dangerous. Maybe she shouldn’t be dating someone in law enforcement.

This is hard to get through because it’s not very interesting.
