Young couples Jennifer (Alyssa Grace Adams) and Dante (Harold Octavius Jacob), Makayla (Kayla Malika) and Clinton (Steven Maiseke), and Sheila (Gabrielle Nunzio) and Marc (Jacob Applegate) are off for a weekend of partying - but that's doomed from early on, as the girls pretty much hate each other's guts. The situation is not made any better when on his way to the cabin Clinton runs over a hunter, Gavyn (Aaron Krygier), and since there's no way he'd find his way to the next town in the fog, he takes him to the cabin for some first aid. At the cabin, when Jennifer makes a visit to the outhouse, she's attacked by ... something that looks like a wolf on two feet, but she and the others ward the thing off. Only after that, Gavyn comes to and claims the area is riddled by werewolves - for which he's unsusprisingly ridiculed, but when our heroes try to leave and are attacked by a pack of werewolves on their way to the cars, they hightail it back to the cabin, and when once back, Clinton, who has been injured by one of the wolves, slowly turns into a beast before being shot in the head and killed by Gavyn, they'e pretty convinced their uninvited guest has spoken the truth. Thing is, it soon becomes clear they're surrounded by werewolves, and things get worse when they start to suspect that one of them might be a werewolf in disguise as well ...

Now sure, Frenzy Moon isn't the re-invention of the wheel, but t's my honest guess that that was not what writer/director Gregory Lamberson was going for, because what the film feels like is a throwback to creeature features of circa the 1980s without offering any post-modern reinterpretation, instead going for solid genre cinema devoid of self-irony and nostalgia bait, but plenty of suspense, jump scares, splatter and gore, creature effects and monster action. And Lamberson's directorial effort sure hits the mark, while a competent cast playing well flesched out characters also help to make this a very enjoyable genre effort.
