Während einer Expedition in Nepal wird die Frau des Journalisten und Naturfotografen Ted Harrison (Michael Paré) von einem Wolf getötet, er selbst kann schwer verletzt entkommen. Tagsüber ist er ein Fotojournalist, der seine Familie im pazifischen Nordwesten besucht, in der Nacht verwandelt er sich in eine schreckliche Bestie - einen Werwolf. Tote erzählen keine Geschichten, also ist Ted sicher, dass wieder daheim bei seiner Schwester Janet (Mariel Hemingway) nur er von seinem abscheulichen Doppelleben weiß. Doch das Geheimnis könnte gelüftet werden. Der Familienhund, Janets wachsamer Schäferhund Thor, der sich der Verteidigung des Haushalts verschrieben hat, schöpft Verdacht. (NSM Records)

Hot sex in a tent, in a camper trailer, and searching at night for someone to tear apart... A parental horror film where, just like in the book, the main role is played by a German Shepherd named Thor, and there's a primal contest to see who can mark their territory more assertively (in other words, if Michael Paré will urinate on the kennel). While the practical effects are relatively fine, the digital ones require a certain amount of tolerance, as does the eight shots from a six-shooter revolver, or the high consumption of white running sneakers. Is there any character psychology? Just in hints as subtle as a werewolf's pubic hair. The scare factor is missing, but I was guilty of having some fun.

A werewolf film that has a relatively normal plot but tries to deliver what a werewolf movie should - tension and the transformation into a werewolf. Both are here and neither is perfect, but the film is definitely good. The tension is maintained basically until the end, although the viewer already knows anyway. And the transformation is also not bad at all, especially since it's done with classic effects.
