A werewolf film without much bite!, 3 April 2002
Author: The Welsh Raging Bull (leighton.phillips@sihe.ac.uk) from Port Talbot, South Wales, UK

An largely unfamiliar cast (which in itself tells a story)is assembled for an odd Universal film that stinks of a black & white thriller from the 1940's.

Particularly unremarkable and unstylish - the title is also irritatingly reflective of what goes on in the film, for the boy rarely lets up about his dad!
