Directorial debut for the late special effects master, Stan Winston. Creepy tone throughout, solid gore and unsurprisingly, great creature effects and design. Lance Henrikson is Lance Henrikson as always and that’s just how we like it.

Clever, supernatural thriller. Interesting premise, decent jump scares and creative violence.
Classic werewolf film. Transformation scenes and makeup effects are still among the best. Darkly funny, great performances all around. Happy retirement to you, Rick Baker.

Well, look no further. Your prayers have been answered. Plain and simple, this …
