On their way there, they are attacked by a mysterious creature who infects the husband. The wife and daughter must watch as Dad becomes a monster.
I don’t have much nice to say about this film. None of the characters have any personality, save for the daughter; they are all just moving through the picture point by point. The cinematography is plain and unremarkable, the score is loud and dull and the action is ploddingly choreographed. And there are enough plot holes to throw a loup garou right through.
And worst of all, the werewolves look stupid. A transformation into a werewolf should look cool; think An American Werewolf in London.
I cannot recommend this one. If you want some furry monster action, watch any of the Lon Chaney movies. This is pretty gory sometimes, so the little kiddies might be traumatized; I know I was. There are no scenes after the credits roll, so give your bladder a break.
Flytrap rating: 4/10
