Still a great horror film, in spite of being rather dated, especially in special effects.

A horror flick for young fans who aren't quite prepared for the really scary stuff.

Werewolves are on the prowl! Sometimes effective, sometimes biting.

feels episodic and slight, little more than a slasher movie in which the slasher is a lycanthrope
