Werewolf is, surprising no one, terrible. It's got Joe Estevez moping around looking blank, a crap-ass 'werewolf skeleton' with pointy skull-protrusions for ears, easily killed live werewolves, and a full moon that sticks around for weeks on end. Also a hilariously-accented female lead who just cannot be arsed to care about the movie.
Soultaker also has Joe Estevez, who pals around with Robert Z'Dar. They are reapers or something, and a bunch of stupid teenagers try to escape being reaped. This movie is co-written by the female lead, and the worshipful slow-mo shots of her getting ready for a bath are therefore extra yucky. The script is pretty bad in general, though, so it's hard to discern where the blame should go.
Future War leaves Joe Estevez behind but continues to carry Robert Z'Dar, who is a cyborg this time. Someone on IMDB renders the male lead as 'Jean-Clod van Dumb' and this is both cute AND true. This movie has very bad T. rex puppets, some fat guys, and a nun who used to be a hooker. It's so awful. There's this incredibly long sequence where a pipe hallway is very slowly traversed by our heroes, and it'll destroy your will to live if you let it.
