While visiting his aunt and uncle in rural Wolf Creek, big-city camera bug Alex Blackwell is hoping to photograph something really scary in order to win Chiller Magazine's amateur ""shudder shot"" contest. Fortunately (or unfortunately), he doesn't have to look far, because when the moon is full, the woods are full of werewolves! Aided by his mysterious school-girl pal, Hannah, Alex has a plan-which includes a visit to the creepy house across the street-to break the curse of the wolf-skins in order to save his family...and himself!
