Plenilunio (1994) (Uruguay)

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2



A group of likable kids go up against an albino hermit with a raging case of lycanthropy in this fun SOV flick from Uruguay. A local man is savagely murdered in the woods, the police brush it off as a dog attack but some youths who hang out at the dinky local TV station believe there’s a werewolf at work. The station manager (played by director Ricardo Islas) is skeptical at the outset but eventually comes around to the thinking of the group of children he spends his free-time with. He goes to talk to the albino hermit at his crap-shack in the woods and only succeeds at putting all his underage friends in mortal danger. They all end up trapped in the small TV station with the homicidal wolfman stalking around the premises, bidding his time. The low-budget charm comes to a head when we finally get to set our eyes on the goofiest werewolf ever caught on film... or videotape in this case. Sometimes it resembles a giant stuffed animal and sometimes some unholy combination of a muppet and a platypus... it fucking rules.
