Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. janeanderson – ★★★☆☆
   “Wow. The 80’s vibe is strong here. It’s odd that I never hear this mentioned amongst Heavy Metal Horror movies of the day and I think that’s a bit of an injustice. I will say, it’s not a great movie by any means, but it’s fun. The werewolf getup doesn’t really cut it, and they obviously try to hide as much of it as possible.”

2. danthebeast – ★★★½☆
   “God I love this movie. Cock-rock for days, a werewolf in Levi’s, and the perfect level of hot cheese that has you swimming in cheddar heaven.”

3. krislongknife – ★★☆☆☆
   “The transformation is pretty good, but the movie is slow, and I wasn’t crazy about the mix of werewolf and rock band plot lines. Still, it’s charming in a cheap 80s horror kind of way.”

4. mrblood – ★★☆☆☆
   “It’s got moments, but overall too slow for its runtime. The last act is decent though and has some fun gore.”

5. retropal – ★★★☆☆
   “This is one of those movies that would absolutely play at midnight on local TV and that’s where it shines. Very fun soundtrack, cheesy effects, and 80s college hijinks. Not great, but good for a laugh.”

Meta Description:
