Ambrose McKinley is a retired US army vet who has lost his sight moves to a retirement community and almost immediately survives a werewolf attack. The elderly residents are senselessly slain with every full moon.
Quickly McKinley pieces the evidence together and prepares for the next attack to the bemusement of his neighbours and family.
This a fine werewolf film that has more in common with the like of Gingersnaps and When animals dream but where those movies use the werewolf myth as a vehicle for adolescent transformation, this shifts the focus to the end of life, mortality and death is never far away.
McKinley, played by Nick Demici, is a belligerent and single minded old bastard, determined to fight and redeem himself.
A brilliant piece of story telling. The deep and dark sub plots are counterweighted with some proper werewolf violence and subtle humour. An excellent film perhaps slightly let down by some b-movie special effects.
