After a bizarre and near fatal encounter with a serial killer, a newswoman is sent to a rehabilitation center whose inhabitants may not be what they seem. Directed by Joed Dante and written by John Sayles and Terence H. Winkless, this groundbraking werewolf movie led directly to Dante getting GREMLINS. Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee, Kevin McCarthy, John Carradine, Slim Pickens, and Robert Picardo lead a loaded cast in the film that spawned seven sequels.
