Talk about a massive case of false advertising… I was hoping for Dog Soldiers with holocaust survivors, not really what we got with Werewolf (aka Wilkolak) though.
What we do get is a group of kids who have been liberated from a Nazi concentration camp, who end up in a run down mansion somewhere in the woods. Now they find themselves captive again as they fight off starvation and thirst while outside the doors are a pack of vicious German soldier eating dogs. The kids must fight for survival from the beasts outside but could there be a threat within their group yet to rear its head…
Yes, you read that right my good friends… Vicious dogs! Not werewolves (or wilkolak) but angry as hell Alsatians. To say I was a tad upset at this revelation would be an understatement,...
