Worth the wait, go watch it now.
Apart from "Wolf" with Jack Nicolson, I consider this to be the best werewolf movie of the 20th century. Funny enough, I laugh at myself for saying this because of the fact that I hadn't even seen this movie until 2005 even though I wanted to watch it since I saw the preview in 1998. I was actually pleasantly surprised that I was able to enjoy it. I thought I had anticepated the movie being great for so long that I wouldn't even like it once viewed, but it was totally worth the wait.
