Description
Low budget but quite effective sci-fi version of how a man can
become a werewolf. An accident victim is used as a guinea pig by
two typical mad scientists to test a wolf's blood-based serum which
supposedly will speed up healing. It does, but the poor shlub also
starts to change into a pretty kickass werewolf at odd times (no
full moon necessary; he's sort of like the Incredible Hulk in that
emotional stress tends to bring on the metamorphoses). Some very
effective scenes, such as when the guy is pleading with his
pursuers, swearing that he's not dangerous even as he's already
changing before their stunned eyes. Regular bullets spell the end
for this sympathetic character. A minor classic.
