After deciding to venture out onto his own, a man finds himself suffering from a deadly curse that turns him into a ravenous werewolf and must seek the help of his father and his lover in order to keep his affliction dormant before he kills again.
This here turned out to be quite a flawed and wholly uninspiring werewolf effort. One of the major flaws here is the film's terrible pacing that leaves this one utterly, terribly disjointed, as the opening prologue that explains his condition taking over a half-hour to be revealed for what it really is before we get any sense of what's supposed to be going on with our following the royal and his treatment of the girl before the birth, which afterwards imparts another big flaw in the fact that this one doesn't really have much in the way of a true werewolf. There's none of the mysticism, folklore or anything imparted upon this one, and it's really hard to determine why a werewolf was needed in here as this could've easily been another creature inserted into the story without any difficulty or much change. As well, with the creature only on-screen for two sequences, it's really hard to get much fear out of it, although both of those scenes are pretty fun including the usual finale where it really lets the action fly with a superb sequence of it running amok through the town. Still, it's not enough to overcome the flaws here.
Today's Rating/PG: Violence and talk of a rape.
