  • Like the rest of this series, this movie bears little resemblance to its predecessors, other than in its low-budget mediocrity.

    This film is

    When the opening credits roll with an 80's poodle-rock number with cringeful lyrics, you know you're going to be in for a good laugh. Big hair (and that's on the blokes!), big shoulder pads, big cars and big laughs guaranteed. Factor in acting so wooden that it would make a school nativity play look professional and the entertainment just gets better. And then the 'werewolves' appear - I was almost wetting myself at that point. There's nothing remotely 'nightmarish' about this film and why it's still rated '18' beats me. One to watch after a few pints...
