Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite writer / director Paul Annett's objections, producer Milton Subotsky (who hated this movie) insisted on the werewolf break gimmick where the viewer was invited to guess who the werewolf is.
- GoofsWhen the alarm shows that the werewolf has left the estate and is prowling in the woods, Tom has his surveillance expert help him track the beast. He could have taken a few seconds to look in on all the guests via the spy cameras to see which one was missing from their room and so discover the werewolf's identity, but it doesn't seem to occur to him.

Featured review
Well-made werewolf movie deserves to be better known
Others commenting here seem to have been distracted by the "game" aspect of the movie, which was, of course, a gimmick added after the movie was finished.
Although the story really required a larger budget, this well-cast, intelligent horror thriller is well worth watching. The story is reasonably suspenseful, the direction good enough most of the time, and it is unusual in depicting the central villain as someone who LOVES being a werewolf. It's based on a good novel, which was given reasonably respectful treatment.
