Eye-popping special effects highlight an updated werewolf story. TV newswoman, Karen White, goes on a retreat after a traumatic incident with a serial killer. But is she really safe? And what should she fear more: regaining her memory or the creepy residents of "The Colony"? Followed by many unsatisfying and unconnected sequels. Helped launch shortlived werewolf craze in early eighties.

Comments:
Joe Dante's first feature (the maker of Gremlins 1/2, Small Soldiers, etc) utilised the transformation effects seen in Werewolf in London a year later, although less primitive. Although not the best Werewolf movie out, this is still a decent attempt (bar the inherant 80s cheesiness. Its also a bit darker than Dante's later outtings)
