Makes you long for the days when teenage werewolves were beady-eyed, slavering versions of hairy-palm jokes.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Poor special effects, a silly looking werewolf and clunky comic writing help to spoil what should have been a fun B-movie.
Kim Morgan, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
The scariest thing in the movie is a cameo by Scott Baio.
Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice
Rotten
The special effects are particularly lame, and an insult to the proud werewolf tradition of An American Werewolf in London or the even better The Howling.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Rotten
The scariest thing about this movie is the incredible waste of once-vital talent.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
