Georgan G A made-for-television film short on plot, but with several stars. A truly silly werewolf plot. Another from the 50 Movie Pack Sci Fi Classics. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Todd C It's a surprisingly well-written movie with some good casting. It's always a pleasure to see Geoffery Lewis pop up in any film. There were some plot twists and turns that kept me guessing, which I like in any movie. It's a fun movie. Worth the watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/22 Full Review Audience Member Good acting and professional character directing. But... the transfer looks dated and feels like a made for tv program. Boring, specifically, lacks scare in the story and action in the scenes, weighing the film into mediocrity. Can't recommend watching for what it is supposed to be, but will pass the time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 1970s made-for-TV movie about a series of grizzly murders in Louisiana, where the sheriff begins to suspect that the killings may be the work of a werewolf. Not terrible, but nothing worth going out of your way to watch. I think I mostly liked the 70s redneck exploitation feel of the film (i.e. "White Lightning" or "Walking Tall") and that was enough to make it worth watching for me. David Janssen and Barbara Rush were the only big name actors in the film, though you do also get Royal Dano and Geoffery Lewis. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member mucho bla bla y poco hombre lobo. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A fairly watchable little made for TV movie that I watched out of one of those numerous Mill Creek sets, not too shabby as far as it goes, though the make-up is a bit dodgy, but what can you expect for an old 'movie of the week' kinda set-up? Rental? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
