Update on the classic werewolf story
19 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
A typical 1990s-era B-movie, this one, and an intriguing mix of sci-fi and horror in the tale. It's only the cheapo execution which lets this one down, along with a set-up and back story that seems to take up at least half of the running time, before we move into a traditional monster-on-the-rampage extended climax. A rogue agent turns into a werewolf but is put into suspended animation, only to wake up in the laboratory a couple of decades later and go berserk. I did like the futuristic spin on the old werewolf legend, and the beast suit is pretty decent, complete with Jason himself, Kane Hodder, inside it. There's the requisite gore, action and scares, which are superficial and straightforward, but the character writing is minimal and the performances hardly interesting. With a little more finesse this could have been interesting.
