Review

Back when Gremlins (1984) were just a glint in Joe Dante's eye, the director made the coolest werewolf movie this side of John Landis, whose equally brilliant An American Werewolf in London (1981) came out the same year. Television reporter Dee Wallace suffers an attack by a psychopath that leaves her with amnesia, and when she begins having violent nightmares, Dee checks into "The Colony," a resort run by Patrick"The Avengers" MacNee. Guess what? It's a colony of werewolves! Whaa Hooo! Werewolves of Dante! This film's got it all: silver bullets, fang-toothed tracheotomies and the eponymous howling in the night.
