Description[]
From the director of Animal House – a different kind of animal.
When it is the full moon – beware! It’s the time of the Werewolf. When the beast attacks and kills, his victims become the undead, doomed to roam the earth throughout eternity. When a victim survives, he or she becomes a Werewolf. This is the story of a young man who survives. He’s fallen in love with his beautiful nurse… but the full moon is due soon!
