Standout Aspects

Acting

Susan Anspach's smoldering instability outclasses the entire production budget.

Production

The Wolf Lodge itself: character, metaphor, and probably actual health code violation.

Best for:Solo: 2 AM insomnia fuel when you question your life choices anyway.·Rewatch: Spotting which scenes were clearly shot in a different season.
Heads up:Violence: Brief but nasty practical effects—1988 Canadian horror didn't flinch.
