Fear the monster within.

202597 min4.3 / 10

A claustrophobic horror-thriller about captivity and bodily transformation, where religious fanaticism and supernatural infection collide in a race against a lunar deadline.

A young waitress is abducted by a religious cult, who are hell-bent on curing her from a sexually transmitted werewolf virus - or killing her in the process. Will she escape before the first full moon?
