Well, the movie starts off nicely with some good music. But I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to the movie. Sure, the "Cocaine Bear" movie was great, but the "Cocaine Shark" movie was truly abysmal, so I wasn't hopeful when I sat down to watch what writer Dustin Ferguson had to offer with "Cocaine Cougar".
Sure, I had never heard about the movie, prior to sitting down to watch it. But of course, with such a title, then the movie is worth checking out, if nothing else.
And let me just say that "Cocaine Cougar" is bad. So very, very bad.
The writing of Dustin Ferguson was rather simplistic. And it was a very bland, mundane, generic and laughable storyline. A bit strange how something like this actually gets green-lighted. But hey, as long as there is money to be made, I guess.
Needless to say that there wasn't a single familiar actor or actress on the cast list. Nor do I blame anyone for not wanting to get involved in something like this. The acting performances by the cast was wooden, rigid and not particularly convincing.
But wait, it gets better. The CGI rendered cougar in the movie, and that would be the animal not those Botox-infused and pseudo-melting women that were in the movie, looked abysmal. I have rarely seen CGI of this poor level in movies before, and it was just painful to witness.
Actually, the best thing about this travesty of a movie was its cover, which over-sold the movie a million times. There is no cougar like that in the movie, don't get your hopes up.
Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Cocaine Cougar", because it most definitely isn't worth the time, money or effort.
My rating of directors Dustin Ferguson, Andy Qualtrough and Erik Anthony Russo's 2023 movie lands on a one out of ten stars.

Just downright horrible...
Avoide at all costs
Just because somebody provides the soundtrack for free, doesn't mean you should use it! With a whopping 6 minute intro, most of it playing Properties Of Terror by Snipers Of Babel, and some monotonous, unchanging wildlife noises followed by Snipers Of Babel.
Holy mother of God, where to start with this? I can tell you now that the sound post production was all over the shop, dialogue levels compared to filler music levels will get you reaching for the volume control, quick smart. The special effects, well let's just say that they were "special". Writer/Director/Actor combination rarely works and should be a warning.
I can't even tell where the budget went on this, maybe the soundtrack wasn't free after all. The only redeeming thing for this is that the credits start rolling at just under 41 minutes - but they go on for 10 minutes!
I am guessing that due to the writers and actors strike of 2023, we will be bombarded with tripe like this. The reviewer that rated this a 10 needs to be shamed for their 10 star review. There are 3 directors listed for this, shame that they could get it together. No recommendation here.
a film so undeniably silly and over the top, delivers EXACTLY what it says on the tin.
Having been a huge fan of Dustin's most recent works (Liza, Closet Monster, Beyond the Gates of Hell, Hell of the Screaming Undead) - I have not watched many of his previous 'Mockbusters' yet, but this one just oozed cool from the cover artwork and concept, a cougar high on cocaine let loose in L. A - I'm sold.
After Cocaine Bear, the trend hit the underground scene so quick. However, Dustin was way ahead of the crowd and released this beast.
Now, this film knows EXACTLY what it is. I know EXACTLY what it is. It's so absurd, I had so much fun with it.
The biggest highlight for me personally was Erik Anthony Russo - who absolutely steals the show being hunted down by two different type of cougars... He nails the comedic timing and I wish there was more screen time spent with him!
This film is so absolutely ridiculous and delivers exactly what it says on the tin.
Did not disappoint.
