Little Richie Bridgestone goes to spend the weekend with his father at his secluded mountain cabin, and witnesses his father being attacked by 'a creature' that the boy recognizes as a werewolf. He tries to convince his mother and his therapist that his father is now a werewolf.

This is a slow-burn descent into unsettling paranoia, wrapped in a distinctly 70s grindhouse aesthetic. It feels like a campfire tale gone wrong, where the line between reality and the monstrous blurs, leaving a lingering sense of dread and disbelief. Perfect for those who appreciate classic creature features with a mysterious edge.
