Overview

It’s an experiment in human behavior. It’s an exploration of the most natural of animal impulses. It’s something new under the moon. And it bites. When security dispatcher Aaron Scates is blinded in an explosion, he’s put in the care of Dr. Andrea Hewlitt, famous in her field for spearheading extraordinary-though controversial-medical breakthroughs. Her newest is cross-species organ transplants, and Aaron is her first human subject. When a severely wounded wolf is brought to Dr. Hewlitt’s office by museum curator Lydia Armstrong, Dr. Hewlitt leaps on the opportunity and successfully transplants the wolf’s eyes to Aaron-despite Lydia’s objections. Aaron, however, is thrilled. Not only can he see again, he can see in the dark. He also has an unusually acute sense of hearing, and tears into a raw steak like never before. Unfortunately, he also tends growl, and to target people as prey.

Viewing Notes

My last Maneater flick via Instawatch as they all expire tonight. Picked this one b/c of the werewolf theme even though it’s barely that. Somehow inexplicably a dude becomes all wolf-like after an eye transplant. I like the cast which includes Justine Bateman! But just a dismal story tied to Native American folklore, silly dream imagery and visions of bison/wolves. Maybe second worst Maneater after Grizzly Rage.
