From Stephen King comes a tale about a werewolf creating hate and discontent in a small town as it tears up a few of the residents. The townies don't like the way the sheriff is handling things and decide to take to the fog infested woods to hunt down what ever it is that's turning their fellow citizens into hamburg. A local boy confined to a motorized wheelchair thinks he knows what the evil really is. Can he convince anyone including his good natured drunken uncle played by Gary Busey?
It's along the lines of a 50's ish B grade horror flick. The werewolf could have been better done and comes off as something you would expect to see in a Little Red Riding Hood film. Terry O'Quinn of "Stepfather" films is the towns Sheriff and Everett McGill is cast as a reverend who tries in vain to keep the townies spiritually guided as the menace continues.
If you've never seen this picture do your self a favor and rent it vice seeing it on TV. It's usually edited for television and even though the editing is minor it's still better on video.
