Critique: Stirba, a black hooker with too much make-up is expecting a birthday. On this day all the werewolves will be revealed.

Christopher Lee was brought on board here so we could once again have an utterly unwatchable movie in which his sonorous tones could send us to sleep. He was best as a robot in "The Avengers". Having a point would have made things so much more interesting to the viewer. To think that this was actually a fairly expensive movie is appalling.     

Plot Summary: Christopher Lee breaks the ice with some words from apocalypse, talking of the hairy beast and her cup of fornication. All will be abomination. A Priest holds a sermon to comfort the friends of Karen White at her funeral after her Murder. They close her coffin and she opens her eyes. The News Director wants X to cover the story with her camera crew. What does Mr. Kosko know about the death of Karen White?  Werewolf.  Scene change to a punk club with open aggressive sexuality.  A tough looking woman draws some punks to a more isolated venue. The punks arrive at the abandoned works. After someone gets a bottle over the head, one of the men decides to threaten the wolf-woman by approaching her with his zipper flashing. He soon is separated from his arm. A bunch of punks get ripped to shreds by a werewolf type. There are numbers of Werewolves living among us. Mr. Kosko has the theory that dildo's sister allowed herself to be killed in order to come back. Mariana is immune to silver bullets. rather, absurdly, titanium must be used. Huh? On the tenth millennium of Silva's birth, evolution will be reversed. man will become beast. Excuse me? Apparently Kosko holds to an implausibly teleological view of evolution. They go to save Karen from the blasphemy and the denizens of de-evolution start dropping like flies. A bunch of idiots dressed in leather stand around and chant "Stirbe!" Then breasts are bared and people are taken. Werewolf types roll around in sexual play. At the full moon festival, a werewolf puppet show is played. There's latinate chanting. The good gut team attacks. The empty minutes of idiots posing in sexy outfits are stupefying. At some point you just have to say enough. Horror movie titan Christopher Lee brandishes titanium swords against the idiots in this sinking Titanic of a movie. The werewolf stronghold is attacked. The darkness of these scenes is a good soporific. One of the defenders of the right calls out "fuzzballs!"
