User Reviews

Director Rand's one n only bland directorial effort. It's more of a sad story than a horror or comedy. The poster of a werewolf is misleading.

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs. Revisited it recently. The only saving grace is Brion James in a small stint. There is zero tension n suspense, the kills r offscreen n the ending a big meh.
