Comment
Two teenage sisters with goth inclinations and on the edge of the school are out at night, when one of them (Katherine Isabelle) gets attacked by a wolf. This happens on a full moon and at the start of her first menstrual period. Her character then changes and dead bodies start appearing whilst her sister (Emily Perkins) tries to stop her and looks to find a cure. This is an intriguing mix of werewolf story and teenage girls dealing with puberty. Whilst the plot is not great, there are good performances from the two teenage leads and as a teenage horror film this is better than many.
