I may be the only human being alive who doesn't rip this movie to shreds, but I have to admit it isn't too good.
Made in 1975 the story takes place in 1969 right after Woodstock. A farmer named Bert (Tige Andrews) who hates everything goes out in an electrical storm and tries to destroy a stage where some of the bands performed at Woodstock. He is struck by lightning and then the trouble begins.
Somehow the lightning hasn't killed Bert, but now he changes into a werewolf at night and kills people. His wife Dora (Ann Doran) sees him transform on one night and tries to call a doctor named Marlow (Richard Webb), but Bert takes care of her as well.
Los Angeles police detectives Moody (Michael Parks) and Kendy ( Meredith MacRae) are visiting and decide to help local officer Martino (Harold J. Stone) investgate some mysterious deaths.
They all discover Bert is a werewolf and start to track him down. This movie has some of the most unforgettable scenes in monster movie history including the werewolf and his female captive played by Belinda Belaski escape from the police in a Dune Buggy!!
This was a "Wide World Of Mystery" presentation on ABC and was produced by Dick Clark. This shot on video movie is really a once in a lifetime experience and now I have done it twice!
The cast is made up of many veterans of these kinds of movies, but I can only imagine what was going thru their minds. I admit it was good to see this again after 46 years and I still think everyone should see it at least once. I stumbled on this somewhere on ther internet, and I can't remember where, but a search should bring you the results you want.
