Tedium sets in well before the end of this slow-moving movie – just after the opening credits, actually. Thankfully Whit Bissell is on hand to liven things up as a nutty psychiatrist banging on about the usual "world shaking experiments". Troubled teen Michael Landon visits him to try and control his aggression, but instead becomes the subject of Bissell's plan to bring out man's primal state, which transforms Landon into a bouffant-topped werewolf. Landon's not bad and there are patches of fun, but all the groovy teenage parties and practical jokes are tiresome stuff, and the movie fails to round up any tension, with the supposedly mysterious deaths given away by the title.
