I mean, the blood splattering all over >the place was fake, the werewolf effect (glowing green eyes) to start reminded >me of Michael Jackson's glowing eyes i n "Th riller", and the final werewolf >form was horrible. It was obviously somoene in a bad werewolf costume!! >Remember >those old Three Stooges or Albert and Costello shows where there'd be a fierce >gorilla and it was painfully apparent that it was actually a man in a moldy >suit? That's how bad the werewolf lady was done here. It was so bad I laughed >my >butt off. And of course, in the true tradition of all crappy horror movies, >there are contrived moments to draw out the suspense: the gun that works >perfectly until the critical moment, the character so incredibly dumb that they >can't tell the good guy form the bad, the monster inexplicably taking her time >doing the final killing of the final hero so he can scramble for a gun. It was >horribly, badly cheesy, and I have to say I loved it! > > And the funniest thing? The end credits of the movie stated "This film is >dedicated to the great state of Wisconsin". Huh? So it was shot there, but why >dedicate a werewolf flick to the state? Does America's Dairyland possess a deep >dark secret amidst all those cows and cheese?
