Warning: Spoilers
A werewolf stalks the grounds of a swanky resort hotel. However, said werewolf isn't the the creature of the night on the prowl in the area. Director Steve Perry, working from a very clever script by Scott Nimerfro, relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, delivers a generous serving of graphic gore, and adroitly milks a wickedly amusing line in spot-on sharp and biting humor (pun intended). Moreover, the cast have a ball with the witty material: Timothy Dalton exudes pure smooth class as the suave Lokai, veteran tough guy actor Dennis Farina contributes a hilarious turn in a radical change of pace part as the resort's effeminate owner Antoine, Charles Fleischer does well as the excitable Carl Rechek, Walter Gotell is suitably slimy as secretive Nazi war criminal Mr. Hertz, and, best of all, Beverly D'Angelo vamps it up deliciously as the sultry and elegant Janice Baird. Rick Bota's slick cinematography boasts a few nifty visual flourishes (the werewolf POV shots are especially gnarly). Rick Marotta's jazzy score hits the soulful spot. The surprise twist ending is a real doozy. A hugely fun show.
