Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans.

Thoroughly enjoyed this film. Seems like this would be a good starter to a television series.
Started out really interesting. I thought it was going to be great character development and a story. I was intrigued from the start. Then it got ruined by having the same thing put into it that most movies have these days, so I turned it off.
Werewolf kid was really cool, but regarding everything else... see my review of Bloodthirsty. It's almost as if movie makers joined a contest to see how much they can mess up the werewolf movie genre. Two skulls for the wolfkid.
Weird but not bad.
Excellent! Would love to see a part two...
