A young woman is murdered in a small town by what appears to be a werewolf, on the night of a full moon. The sheriff (Robert Forster) has heart problems he won't admit to, and his alcoholic rage-filled son (Jim Cummings, who also directed) is running the department ... badly.

The movie is listed as a horror-comedy, but most of the comedy is at the expense of an alcoholic who's drinking again because he can't handle the stress of his job and is having a mental breakdown. Yeah, that's comedy gold right there. It's well constructed and there are a couple mildly funny scenes, but ... not for me.
