Unusual werewolf thriller. Effects for transformation are hypnotic. Casting and script are terrific. Well-directed and still fears chills.
One of the greats from the werewolf genre, a good story with a unique take.
One of the best werewolf flicks. Awesome gore and effects.
Competent, gripping film. Dark cinematography
Love Dee Wallace! A staple in the Werewolf-Horror genre with some twists.
The Transformation scenes are spectacular! Competently directed by legendary director Joe Dante. Film still holds up today.
A very chilling werewolf movie one of the best of this genre
The transformation scene still scares the pants off of me and I’m 20- visceral imagery, amazing practical effects and an original story.
One of the greatest werewolf movies ever made featuring a horrifyingly great practical effect transformation sequence, atmospheric classic
The last 15 minutes of the movie is incredible - that doesn't make up for a terribly slow pace before that.
