The New York Times by Dave Kehr
Because the characters are so well established -- Ms. Perkins is particularly good as the shy, resentful Brigitte -- the film can have fun with its own premises without turning into an empty camp exercise.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Isn't for everyone, but horror fans with strong stomachs will find it a memorable monsterfest that rarely loses its bite.
This Canadian cheapie plays like an above-average "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode, filtered through the sensibility of early David Cronenberg.
A quietly subversive my-sister-is-turning-into-a-werewolf movie that doesn't wimp out at the end.
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
It makes sly sense to link female hormonal bursts with the lunar cycle of the werewolf, but the movie's final act is the usual matted-fur chase.
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
A ferocious, funny, gory, and astute Canadian horror parable.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
If you ever wondered why they call it "the curse," this movie will enlighten as it entertains.
A black comedy that nonetheless manages to tap into the sense of alienation and unfocused rage so prevalent in today's kids.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
