Summary: Not to be confused with Scream of the Wolf
Review: I had mistakenly confused this movie with Scream of the Wolf in a previous review, so this now is the corrected review. This is one of the many horror teleplays that was cranked out in the 70's that I grew up watching as a boy. It's a bit dated and predictable to my more mature viewing tastes. This horror movie has the 70's penchant for a lot of dialog and the mood/atmosphere and the "what you don't see can be more scarey than what you do" technique.Twenty years ago I found this movie to be quite effectively scarey; however flash forward to the present, and a recent viewing left me feeling that it wasn't as good as I had remembered. David Janssen is effective as the sheriff and protagonist of this movie. Indeed he was a very good actor and even had at least one television series to his credit to the best of my recollection. His acting prowess addes a credibility to this movie that otherwise would seriously jeopardize my ability to even take it seriously at all. This isn't a great movie but just an OK one, and it's not to be confused with "Scream of the Wolf" starring Clint Walker (a superior movie to this one in my opinion) which I had mistakenly taken Moon of the Wolf for since the titles are so similar.

Summary: Two good movies at a great price!
Review: The 'Editorial Reviews' section above describes the 2 movies, so I'd just like to add that this DVD also contains 2 old 'Casper the Friendly Ghost' cartoons and a DVD dictionary that can be downloaded.
I have 'Moon of the Wolf' on laser disk and was hoping it would come out on DVD, so it was an extra treat to get 'Alien Species' thrown in as well. If you like science fiction/horror movies you'll find that these 2 movies are suspenseful and quite enjoyable.
Besides, you can't beat the price!

Summary: Wow, how did MST 3000 miss this one
Review: This movie must have been a tax write off. It was cheap. The acting was so bad it was almost funny. The CGI FX were ok. The plot and story were laughable. I liked goofing on this movie. Make sure your drinking when you watch this.
This is just a bad movie.
