One of my all time favorites.

good back-story, and good acting

Absolutely Fantastic

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Up-and-coming TV journalist Alex Jung (Brenda Vance) returns to her home town of Danford (the film was shot in Hanford) as local police attempt to cope with a series of brutal murders. The small town plunges into a state of panic and the murders continue... until Alex comes face to face with the evil itself.Some of the hair and clothes are so late 1980s, early 1990s that it is hilarious. The Asian guy has a cut off shirt that looks more like a women's sports bra. And, of course, he knows martial arts...The blood and gore effects are surprisingly not terrible, and they invested in some live maggots, which I appreciate. I am not going to say this is on the level of, say, Rob Bottin... but it is respectable.Kato Kaelin, made notorious from the OJ Simpson trial, appears here in all his mullet glory! And Aldo Ray as inventor Gene Krebelski is like a next generation "Gremlins" dad.The music has Richard Band written all over it, but this is not a Full Moon picture and it is Ken Carlton behind the score. George Temple produced and edited, as well as acted as story consultant.

one night as always i'm watching off beat cinema rap videos and crappy sitcoms until i go to ABC and i see the title sequence and it says directed by Randolph something and i thought the tommy knockers movie yes what i was watching was a crappy werewolf movie at first i thought it was a Stephen king movie and thought(silver bullet) but no i remembered that silver bullet wasn't this crappy the acting was terrible the main girl i swear i saw in a porno but eh probably not anyway the other actors in the film (including the Chinese boy) sucked bitter ass my god it sucked but speaking of Stephen king they play through a thing of who's who but when i watched the dude break the hillbilly's head through the window automatically a werewolf no doubt i didn't think it was a werewolf in the first place i thought it was a vampire thanks to the title (which i found recently) if you're going to make a werewolf movie put the title like a werewolf movie like......you know i can't think of anything but anyway at least make it better then NIGHT SHADOW i mean no offense the title is great for a horror movie not for a werewolf movie but the worst thing of all in this movie is the ending instead of the usual killing a werewolf with silver they run him over with a car and it explodes hows that for you horror fans in conclusion this is nothing but another crappy werewolf movie so please but these movies (SILVER BULLET) (AN American WEREWOLF IN London) (THE HOWLING) (THE Original WOLF-MAN)those are way better werewolf movies so please buy themA 3 out of 10

I had the opportunity to work in this film that was originally titled "Lycanthrope" which means werewolf in Greek. I was the Stunt Coordinator, stunt double, stunt driver and played a biker. We had a couple of good fight scenes, chases, high fall, a crash and car explosion. The acting was surprisingly good without any big names or budget. It was fun to work on. Kato Kaelin was natural in his acting and should have been made known from this instead of the OJ trial. Cohlan and Temple also made a film with Bruce Cooke before this in 1987 called "Line Of Fire", which I also worked on. I don't know if the film is available. Thanks guys for a great start in the beginning of my career. Keep it up!

The entertainment value on this priceless and timeless movie is beyond words! The actors and actresses do a great job portraying the fear that gets lodged into the people's hearts and minds is fantastic!That actress that plays Beth could go on to do some superb work, if only someone gave her a chance. She has the look of stardom, and could easily pull off any hard rolls thrown her way. Just because this movie didn't get any awards, doesn't mean that it isn't a great film. The music, the acting, and that werewolf!!! are amazing! Hats off to everyone involved in this movie. I hope all of them go on to great careers in the movie business. Good luck to everyone who worked on this movie, you made a movie that is scary, fun, and exciting for everyone to enjoy. The night we rented this movie was something our family will remember forever, we had so much fun, and for days we repeated scenes to relive the great time we had while watching this movie together. I will always remember this amazing movie and the great time my family had with it! Thanks so much Night Shadow!!
