Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for readers who like to compare the book and the screen version and horror fans. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Same wavelength as The Howling.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

A number of vicious murders occur in a small California town after a motorcycle-riding stranger arrives. The gruesome slayings look disturbingly like the work of a werewolf. Meanwhile, in another nearby town, police are hot on the trail of a killer they believe is a werewolf.
