Jack Luskey (Ben Getz) discovers he is a werewolf when he is 18, the hard way. It is a family thing. He goes to the cabin in the woods with his two friends, Brandon (Zack Weiner) a virginal geek and Turner (Kyle Kirkpatrick) your basic misogynist teen male.Jack has no control when he turns into a werewolf several nights in a row. This makes for an awkward vacation.The special effects are saved toward the end. There is only a little blood and gore. Plot and acting are okay for a "B" film. Film utilizes a few "Creepshow" style graphics. They drink Johnnie Walker Blue scotch...a nice touch.Guide: F-bomb, brief sex, male butt nudity. Drawn nudity.

I wish these movie producers would stop throwing homosexuality down our throats. I think I'm watching a good horror movie and the horror is the homosexual scenes, I mean really? I feel when writers have to start off their movie with useless, tasteless scenes, they are brainless writers just looking for fillers that have no place in the movie itself.

I watched the movie before reading any of the reviews and I'm not quite sure what others mean when they say the story was all over the place. I followed it without issue and for a low-budget film, I was impressed. The acting was decent, it had some pretty funny moments and the last line was a perfect ending line, "welcome to the family". I really liked that this movie took on a lighter side at times. The makeup and transformation was also done well. I went into this not really expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised. Great job to cast, director and everyone else in the background that contributed to putting this together!

I could literally go on and on about the characters being horrifically written. I want to. But I won't. If you have a deep well of patience, you'll be fine with this movie. If you are not planning to pay attention, you'll be fine with this movie. But otherwise... The characterization is just a huge problem. I have many other nitpicky issues, but this is such a big one that I think that's all that needs to be said (well, this and the major PLOT issues; how is one movie so bad??). Throughout the movie, the characters constantly throw me off with their bizarre behavior--and not in a good way. Barring the characterization, the movie is watchable, but unfortunately, a movie is nothing without its characters.
