Title: Plenty of gore, nothing more
Review: I now watch these programs with a kind of perverse fascination. Despite an occasional success, they are almost uniformly disappointing. Here we have legendary director Dario Argento working from an adaptation of a short story by the well-regarded horror author F. Paul Wilson, and it is just terrible. The whole arc of the story is clear very early on (okay, everyone who encounters these furs is going to go mad and kill themselves and/or others), after which it just plods along to the end with no surprises, reversals, or interesting developments. By the way, I know a real raccoon will rip your face off if you surprise it while its going through your garbage, but as an antagonist in a horror film, it's just silly. One star for frequent nudity by the beautiful Ellen Ewusie.
