A Spanish werewolf movie starring Alice Cooper is enough information to get me intrigued! The foreign title to this movie is “Leviatan.” This low budget mid 1980s horror film is directorial debut of cult director Claudio Fragasso, who helmed the movie “Troll 2.” Released in the United States under the Trans World Home Entertainment label, this movie is better than I expected it to be at first glance
