Rating: ♦♦◊◊◊
After surviving an attack by a serial killer, newswoman Karen White, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. With the support of her husband and her doctor she is sent to a peaceful place to work out her fears and go over her experience. Little does she know that she is about to learn a very horrible truth.
A werewolf movie, very controversial for its time yet today may seem cheesy and fun to watch. It is very interesting in the portraying of the werewolf though, and the fact of a police investigation going on simultaneously with the personal anguish makes it rather appealing. It became known for its new aspect and ideas concerning the werewolf myth.
