The Plot…
It’s Ritchie’s weekend with his dad. They decide to camp out. That night while walking back to the cabin, they are attacked by a werewolf. Dad is bitten, but manages to impale the creature. When police arrive they find a dead man on the fence. Later when Dad starts acting strange, Ritchie knows his dad is becoming a werewolf. Even worse no one believes him.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Like a bad 1970s tv movie, but we don’t even get the benefit of commercials.
The Boy Who Cried Werewolf (1973) earns 1 of 5 stars.
