Was david really a werewolf or was it all in his mind


Wat I mean is we see him transforming yet when he is shot and killed at the end we don't see him transforming back to human form and Alex doesn't have a shock expression to see him transforming back

this has always been something I've considered, however, as the viewer, I would like the explanation for the "dog" basically exploding out of the theater

are we to assume that we as the audience are starting to see things? That is where this line of thinking doesn't add up for me - I'm not saying you're wrong, because I think it always has been a legit question, posed since its initial release

either way - great film - my second favorite horror next to The Omen

Her eyes were propped as wide open as they could've possibly been. I'd say she was pretty shocked. She even asked the monster, "Is that YOU, David?" Why would she ask that of a man?

Of course he was a werewolf. The title of the movie gives it away what he was

Nice analogy (and I love anything AAWIL related) but methinks you're over-thinking things amigo.

More power to you (for doing such, though)
