Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who like to watch through their fingers and people who like their stories at full throttle. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. Fans of 28 Years Later or Sinners should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A biker gang visits a monastery where they encounter black-robed monks engaged in worshipping Satan. When the monks try to persuade one of the female bikers, Helen, to become a satanic sacrifice the bikers smash up the monastery and leave. The monks have the last laugh, though, as Helen, as a result of the satanic rituals, is now possessed and at night changes into a werewolf, with dire results for the biker gang.
