Most horror movies are exercises in unrelieved vulgarity, occasionally interrupted by perfunctory murders. This movie, to borrow an immortal comment by Mel Brooks, rises below vulgarity. If you are sick up to here of horror movies in general and Steven King in particular, this is the movie for you.

A limp retelling of the werewolf legend that is about as frightening as a rubbery Richard Nixon mask.
