Buffy fans should revisit this one
8 December 2000 | by (Brisbane, Australia) – See all my reviews

Look, this is a very silly film, but it's worth another look on video for this reason: Buffy stars Allyson Hannigan (wicca Willow) and Seth Green (the werewolf with the puppydog eyes) are in it, dating, I think.
