Customer Reviews

"Dr. Pepper" guy gets nipped.

David (David Naughton, "Be a Pepper") and Jack are Americans visiting England. They are not aware of the many werewolf movies. Everyone knows to beware of walking the moors. Not these two. Yep, one gets bitten, the other ripped. Of course, no one believes David when he mentions his hairy dreams and his suspicion that he may be experiencing a change in life. Long before the movie “Six Sense.” David also saw dead people. While in the hospital for his bite recovery, a nurse (Jenny Aggutter of “Logan’s Run” fame) takes a special interest in him and takes him home like a stray. So, is he a bit unbalanced, or does he have a nocturnal appetite that includes a lot of dumb people? There is a lot of great and not-so-great music with a moon motif in the background. The movie stretches the theme too far. The jokes are just enough off to not be jokes. The pacing is off enough to make your fangs grate. Many opportunities were missed. And the abrupt ending leaves you wondering why.
