Hunter Lockhart has invited a number of people who could all be werewolves in a typical British Agatha Christie-esque horror film, spiced up with the necessary technical gadgets.
A nice, fast-paced film, not really scary or bloody, but an extremely entertaining whodunnit.
The clock where you have half a minute to guess who the werewolf is is the highlight of the film (and I didn't guess correctly).

A strange combination of an action film with a whodunnit plot and werewolf horror. Due to the wonderful overacting of Calvin Lockhart (in an entertaining way) the seriousness and drama hardly come across. Not that this matters much, because there is still enough to see. The addition of the various gadgets is nice. In addition, the concept of asking the viewer to think along who the werewolf is and the thinking time for the final phase is nicely thought out.
Furthermore, the film does not really excel, although the soundtrack is also worth mentioning.
Fun for once, but not a top of the genre.
