Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. @scrambledface ★
   “Marco stumbles through a shaggy dog story involving mobsters, mediums, and a cursed necklace. The werewolf effects are laughably bad, and the plot is a mess.”

2. @cartographer ★★
   “Marco’s transformation is more awkward than terrifying, with a half-hearted werewolf look and a plot that defies logic. It’s a bizarre experience.”

3. @outloa ★★
   “Inept filmmaking with a few awesomely weird scenes, like a satanic BDSM orgy. Mostly excruciatingly boring, but some moments are so bad they’re good.”

4. @PAUL HYSON ★
   “Incoherent, no-budget werewolf movie with terrible sound and film quality. The werewolf is a nude man with gloves and a half-face wolf mask.”

5. @ChamBliss ★★★½
   “The werewolf transformation belongs in the Bad Movie Hall of Fame. A misbegotten vanity project that’s a worthy weird oddity.”
