The frustrated housewife Leslie visits an animal shop to purchase a flea-collar. Unknowing that the owner is a werewolf, she accepts his invitation to lunch and later in his apartment. Through a bite in her toe he starts her slow transformation in a werewolf. Home again, she desperately tries to hide the often disgusting process from her family, but her daughter Jennifer and her - from horror magazines well educated - friend recognize what's going on, and help to kill the non-human.

VIBE

A hilariously awkward, low-budget romp. Expect questionable transformations and a surprisingly earnest family trying to cope with a very hairy problem. It's delightfully cheesy, with a DIY aesthetic that's part of its charm.
