Rating: 
Shock-rock ghoul Alice Cooper stomps through a fog-choked Euro-horror curio as Vince Raven, basically a tongue-in-cheek mirror of his own stage persona. The plot? A rock star rolls back into his creepy hometown with a film crew to shoot a music video, only to stumble into murky childhood trauma, packs of savage hounds, and a slobbering full-moon monster that treats the countryside like an all-night buffet. Italian exploitation lifer Claudio Fragasso raids the old monster-movie toy chest and smashes the pieces together with zero shame, hijacking the werewolf myth and mutating it into something scruffier, trashier, and louder. Cooper can’t act. Fragasso can barely steer the camera straight. But the two of them clearly know the golden rule of grindhouse cinema: if you can’t be classy, be entertaining. The result is pure dog-eared pulp—heavy metal swagger, misty forests, slobbering mutts, and Cooper prowling around like a glam-rock crypt ghoul. Forget the Wolfman. This mangy mutt belongs to the Dogman era. And just when you think it can’t get any better, the credits slam in with “Identity Crisis,” Cooper’s underrated anthem blasting like a final midnight howl.
