About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward 90s creature feature with a loyal-dog angle and werewolf thrills, somewhat in the vein of The Guardian; Not for you if you dislike gore, dated effects, or simple plotting.
Pros: creepy werewolf design; strong dog hero; brisk pacing | Cons: weak CGI moment; uneven acting; logic gaps
