Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Michael O'Keefe Alex Jung(Brenda Vance)is a promising and attractive young TV journalist on her move up. But Alex needs a break; a short vacation back to her hometown. She isn't in town 24 hours before her boss wants her to cover the grisly story of multiple mutilation murders there in her usually quiet little community. The townspeople are plunged into panic when news leaks that the murders may be the work of a savage beast instead of a mortal man. Alex and her karate-stud brother Tai(Dane Chan)team with the town sheriff(Tom Boylan),under pressure, to find the bloodthirsty murderer. Definitely low-budget; but no major scenes of the killer or his deeds. Also in the cast: Rick Scott, Jeanette Lewis, Orien Richman, Alta LaFlame, Aldo Ray and Kato Kaelin(yes...that Kato Kaelin).

gavin6942 Up-and-coming TV journalist Alex Jung (Brenda Vance) returns to her home town of Danford (the film was shot in Hanford) as local police attempt to cope with a series of brutal murders. The small town plunges into a state of panic and the murders continue... until Alex comes face to face with the evil itself.Some of the hair and clothes are so late 1980s, early 1990s that it is hilarious. The Asian guy has a cut off shirt that looks more like a women's sports bra. And, of course, he knows martial arts...The blood and gore effects are surprisingly not terrible, and they invested in some live maggots, which I appreciate. I am not going to say this is on the level of, say, Rob Bottin... but it is respectable.Kato Kaelin, made notorious from the OJ Simpson trial, appears here in all his mullet glory! And Aldo Ray as inventor Gene Krebelski is like a next generation "Gremlins" dad.The music has Richard Band written all over it, but this is not a Full Moon picture and it is Ken Carlton behind the score. George Temple produced and edited, as well as acted as story consultant.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*Terrible. Awful. Retching. Nightmarish. Worst movie ever. I mean ever. I have seen some painful films in my day but this is the king. It still hasn't been dethroned.The video box had a huge werewolf on the cover. Naturally, I couldn't resist. After my brain aneurysm, I returned it and the video store went out of business the next week. I think the store must have been a mirage just to get some sucker to rent this god awful film.Supposedly there is a werewolf attacking a town. I don't remember seeing one till the very end. Do silver bullets kill the beast? *SPOILER ON ENDING COMING* No! In the final insult, they run over the flea bitten wolf with their car! Must have had silver hubcaps.

tcuda71 What bad movies are all about! Some spoilers below, if you don't want to know, don't read on. This one is a classic. It stars Kato Kaelin and the only thing worse than his hair is his acting. I don't remember much of plot, but there is a really mangy werewolf going around killing folks. Also some really bad kung fu, funny, funny stuff. This film drips cheese, if you can find it I highly recommend.
