I've seen trailers for this and that wolf looks terrifying!
I've always been frightened of werewolves - the way they change makes my bowels loosen - so I won't be watching this ep.
(Innit pathetic? A grown man frightened of something that doesn't exist, but there you go.)

I have yet to see a scary CGI werewolf. Maybe this is it!

Even the ones from the 50's movies that are obviously a man wearing a bit of coconut matting on his face are scary to me! I think I have to face the fact that I'm a wuss. :frown1:

Ugh I've never been a werewolf fan, they're so lame. :) I did like "Cursed", but I think that's because it kinda makes fun of the whole werewolf genre.

And Doctor Who's like...a comedy. Why would the werewolf scare you?

Just because it's a werewolf. I've been uttery terrified of them ever since my cousin showed me a horror movie featuring one when I was about 6 years old and I had nightmares for more than a month. I know they're not real and all that, but I just can't control my reactions when one comes on screen - it really is a phobia. It can be very embarrassing at the cinema if one unexpectedly makes an appearance in a film. I got a shock in one of the Harry Potter films and I only just about managed to survive the two Underworld films. *looks sheepish and leaves the room*

Have you seen Ginger Snaps (http://www.ginger-snaps.com/index.htm) Gollanth. If not, you gotta see it. If you wanna be freaked, I mean. :)

I saw Tooth n Claw. Liked it alot, but the transition scene didn't do anything special for me.

No thanx. The OH used to like to watch it, but I always left the room - which is why I think it was watched!

I just watched this episode! It's very good, The warewolf was very well done.

It was novel how they did the wolf to man transition in The Brothers Grim, where he kind of snapped into place. They did the same thing in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy with the 2 headed guy. I suspect you'll see more of that in the future. Transformer monsters.
