David (David Naughton) and his friend Jack (Griffin Dunne) are two college students that head to the UK to go on a walking tour of Britain. However, little do they know that they would encounter a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.
Filming mostly took place in and around London while the fictional village of East Proctor is actually a place called Crickadarn in Wales.
