The Werewolf Reborn! (1998) is a Full Moon Pictures film that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a teenage girl sent to visit her uncle in Europe. She arrives in his small village and is immediately treated poorly and gets no assistance. As she makes her way to her uncle's house she discovers the countryside is plagued by a killer.

This movie is directed by Jeff Burr (Resurrection) and stars Robin Atkin Downes (Suicide Squad), Ashley Tesoro (Lord of Illusion) and Len Lesser (The Outlaw Josef Whales).

The Puppet Master opening to this movie is outstanding. The werewolf is uniquely done. The special effects were pretty average, neither good or bad. The acting was also about average. I did enjoy the settings and the storyline worked.

Overall this is a pretty average addition to the horror genre that's worth a viewing if you're looking for something you haven't seen before. I'd score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

The premise of this movie is simple -- it's a werewolf story for the new teen generation.

It's not a bad attempt at this ... it's just not particularly good. It came out at the same time as "Frankenstein Reborn!", which was attempting to do the same with that story. Both are aimed at a fairly young audience, so neither of them are all that horrifying and they both feature teenage girl protagonists. Basically, they're TV movies, and pretty average ones at that. There's some good stuff here, but it's outweighed by the mediocre.

Robin Atkin Downes does a great job as the lycanthropic uncle, and Len Lesser (of Seinfeld fame) is pretty good as the unbelieving inspector. The special effects aren't bad at all. It's difficult to think of anything else about the movie which is remarkable, in the same way that it's difficult to pick out anything worth criticising.

It's okay for 12-14 year olds who are interested in the genre, but even they might find it a little boring, and there's very little here for anyone else. It's certainly not a movie I'll be watching again any time soon.

This isn't a modern horror flick, it's a new turn on a classic story. If you like classic horror films then you'll probably like this, If Vincent Price turns your stomach then you will not like this.
