This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie begins in a jungle near Nepal with a photo-journalist named "Ted" (Michael Pare) and his girlfriend "Marjorie" (Johanna Marlowe) in the process making love at night in a tent. Suddenly, Marjorie is snatched from the tent and ripped to shreds by a huge werewolf. Although Ted shoots and kills the werewolf, he is injured in the process. A few months later Ted is camping in the Pacific Northwest and calls his sister "Janet" (Mariel Hemingway) who invites him to stay awhile with her and her son "Brett" (Mason Gamble). Also living with them is a German Shepard named "Thor" (Primo) who after a time begins to sense something is not quite right with Ted. Meanwhile, the authorities are on the lookout for a large predatory animal that has killed several outdoorsmen and remains at large. Now rather than reveal any more of this film I will just say that it certainly had its moments. The actors all played their parts well enough and the inclusion of the German Shepard in a film of this type was especially unique. Likewise, Mariel Hemingway certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way either. In any case, I liked the movie for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

The opening is OK with Michael Paré's team being attacked by a werewolf. And then Michael Paré heads home to see his sister and her son, and their dog and the movie more or less stops at that point. It gets long and boring with nothing happening for a really long time. Mariel Hemingway is Michael Paré's sister, and she is super single with no prospects, and there isn't anyone else in the movie so there is not even the chance of a sex scene to get us through the boring part. And then when the action eventually picks up, the movie quickly becomes Lassie vs The Werewolf. And who would pay to see that. Some how this movie actually screened in theaters.

This movie is a wonderful example of 90s monster horror. had I seen this movie when it first came out, I would of been scared poop-less(granted I would of only been 8) but seeing it nearly 20 years later its comes in at pretty campy. The Acting: Out of the two stars I give for acting. it receives one 1. Convincing. Not award winning.Plot: Out of the three stars I give for plot, this earned 2. Believable. Entertaining. But not too original.Special Effects: The special effects are pretty good for 1996. No use of CGI gives the movie the feel that I think helps it stand the test of time. Even though I do not believe it meets my standard to get the star in SFX

...as Creedence Clearwater Revival would sing.The subject is as old as the hill and I'm sure that 99% of the users have seen at least ten other movies about werewolves ,provided that they are horror and fantasy movies buffs ,of course.This one hits rock bottom.the only originality is that the hero was bitten (why by the way?) in the jungle,while making love with his girl friend who was less lucky and got eaten by the beast.He chooses his sister's wife as a convalescent(?) home ;this woman (Mariel Hemingway is a limited actress,to put it mildly) has a boy (of course very clever) and a dog that gives the best performance of the movie: he looks very intense when he gazes upon Ted's trailer.The rest of the movie is so trite,so hackneyed and so "déjà vu " it's extraordinary people should produce such drivel.One may think that the crook ,at the beginning of the story,will play an important part in the plot: he won't.
