Here we have something different in terms of were-wolf films. This one is effectively the story of how a German Shepherd dog saves the day. No silver bullets, no investigations, no secret agencies. Just a loyal pooch.
Plot: Fella's on a dig with his bird in the rain forest, when a were-wolf attacks and kills everyone, but leaves him scared and infected with the wolfy gene, or whatever. Great opening to the film, were-wolf in full glory from the off. So, he goes home to the US and stays with his big sister, her young son and his dog, Thor. Every night (as the full moon thing seems irrelevant) he chains himself to a big tree with handcuffs and hopes for the best. All the while, Thor suspects him of being a 'bad un'. Any who, were-wolf fights Thor, Thor kicks ass and mummy delivers the line all mothers should in these situations...
"Get the fuck off my son!"
Also folks, beware the were-pooch!
Budget: $7,000,000
Gross: $1,055,525
This film squeezes into the cult section for all the above reasons. It's got the quirk on the established were-wolf story, there's that line from mummy and for Thor (originally the name of the book the film's based on).
