Review:
So here we have two students backpacking around England that get attacked by the Werewolf. One makes it, the other doesn't, and the werewolf is killed by locals but it turns back to human form. Nobody acknowledges the Werewolf's existence, and the survivor has nightmares about hunting like a Werewolf. Soon his dead friend and other victims appear and claim to be trapped between worlds because they are cursed. It manages to be highly entertaining, be funny, have some romance, and some death one of the few all-encompassing horror films. Also noted that there are few decent Werewolf movies and this is likely one of the best ones.
