Sent to a rehabilitation clinic, a teen's growing belief that she will become a werewolf like her sister causes her to go on the run to save her fellow inmates only for the ravenous beast to follow her around.
On the whole this one turned out to be a surprisingly decent effort. One of the better elements here is the film's rather entertaining way it handles her growing and oncoming transformation early on, with the film working nicely due to the circumstances present. The process of staying at the rehab clinic makes the oncoming process all the more chilling by wanting to keep it from infecting the others as this one goes about her process with the different body-parts becoming more wolf-like, the slowly-appearing fangs and claws and then the deformed features that begin developing, which along with the rapid healing provides this one with a healthy and chilling beginning to show of the transformation. Likewise, the finale here is quite a blast with a lot to like as the previous attacks set-up a fantastic sense of tension with the early preparation measures and tactics that play out nicely in the home while the scenes move through the various rooms of the house which is quite fun. From the gore to the twisted logic within and allowing for the great werewolf make-up having a chance to really shine here, these are enough to hold off the few flaws in here. One of the bigger problems here is the rather low amount of werewolf action actually put into this one as there's just not a whole lot of here where it really gets to attack. The only early attack scene is plagued by haphazard editing that really makes for a troubling time, which is all this has in terms of werewolf action until the finale anyway so that can wear on some viewers. That is due also to the film's other big flaw in that the first half is once again filled with scenes that don't really make this all too interesting as the scenes in the rehab clinic just don't have anything for them by tying in the change in lycanthropy to a drug relapse. This is similar to the original which tied it to burgeoning femininity, and while this one does manage to come off a little better at doing this, once again the novelty is off-set by the sheer boredom it brings out. Otherwise, this one was quite enjoyable.
Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity, drug use, violence-against-animals and a scene of group masturbation
