It’s an odd mix of horror and comedy, and while Jim Cummings gives a solid performance, the film sometimes feels disjointed. The premise is intriguing—a small town haunted by a werewolf during the full moon—but the execution leaves something to be desired. There are moments of genuine suspense, but they often get undercut by the film's attempts at humour, which can feel out of place. The pacing drags in parts, making the 85-minute runtime feel longer. Still, it’s worth a watch for those who appreciate offbeat indie films, but it may not satisfy hardcore horror fans looking for traditional scares. Show less
