Viewing Notes
Still an odd mix between an after school special and THE HOWLING but by the end it leans more towards working than not. Everett McGill does a nicely creepy turn as the Reverend Lowe and the werewolf FX are old school fun.
Interesting to note that this is Attias’ only feature film directing effort. After this he’s had a long career (still going) directing TV episodes including one for my all-time favorite show THE WIRE.
RIP Haim, little buddy. You were so much better when you were a kid, then fame destroyed you.
