This shameless ripoff of Fright Night substitutes a werewolf for FN's vampire and a girl for the boy in the lead. It a sloppily executed horror flick that is like every other SyFy Channel offering. At least the monster this time isn't some poorly drawn lizard or snake. A teenager discovers her new neighbor is a werewolf who brings home babes and kills them. In place of FN's creepy valet, he is accompanied by a nasty demon-dog. Keep in mind Fright Night itself was a knockoff of Rear Window, but done very cleverly and with high entertainment and production values. This TV movie has a no-name cast (except for Kevin Sorbo), and not one actor does justice to his or her role (including Sorbo, who plays a TV big game hunter in place of FN's TV horror show host so memorably portrayed by the late, great Roddy MacDowell). Might be worth a look for the uninitiated. All others, steer clear.
