Whoever’s idea it was to make this thing deserves at least a pat on the back if not a pat on the back and a handshake. Rarely do we get an opportunity like this. This isn’t a horror movie but a seriously serious werewolf picture. It was kind of ahead of its time in terms of the whole “what if this existed in real life” approach that it takes. Unfortunately it’s not very good and kind of plays out more like a soap opera than a thrilling werewolf picture. Well, except for the end when it turns into the movie you were hoping it would be the whole time. This one is a case of the fact that it exists is more interesting than the movie itself. Those are always tough pills to swallow.
The clip above is a good example of how this film handles what should have been a cool scene. It’s actually set up well with Nicholson being so badass and confident that he jokes with the muggers but when it comes time for him to strike we don’t get to see much of anything.
