Distraught mother Janice Perry (well played by Patricia Tallman) suspects that her husband Robert (the always excellent Stephen McHattie) has abducted their son Bobby (a solid performance by Daniel Terrence Kelly), who as of late hasn't been himself due to a mysterious illness.
Director Tom Savini keeps the compelling story moving along at a snappy pace, generates a good deal of tension, does a sound job of crafting a spooky atmosphere, and pulls out the stirring stops for the exciting violent conclusion. Edithe Swanson's clever script astutely pegs the sinisterly seductive appeal of being a werewolf and comes through with a nifty surprise twist ending. Robert Draper's stylish cinematography provides a neat noirish look. The werewolf makeup is pretty cool, too. A worthwhile show.
