“Full Moon Fever” (* out of four) was a full-on bore about a wealthy man (David Lee Madison) who is attacked in the woods one night and has to unfortunately count down (along with the audience) until when he becomes a werewolf. Allegedly “inspired” somehow by the classic Tom Petty album of the same name but other Petty song titles like “About To Give Out”, “You Wreck Me” and (especially) “Let Me Up- I’ve Had Enough” describe what it’s like sitting through this. Madison directed also and evidently watched “The Howling” and “Wolf” a few times before filming this timewaster.
