The idea of a werewolf story from the perspective of a family dog confused about whether, and how, to protect his people from a murderous alpha could propel a great horror movie. Perhaps someone will make that someday.

Eric Red was a credible writer for the 1980s thriller The Hitcher but as a director, he's strictly by-the-numbers.

The werewolf costume, animatronic facial movements, and makeup effects are superb.

A brutally underrated werewolf movie...
