Plot Summary

A group of unsuspecting friends on a camping trip stumble upon an ancient artifact that unleashes a mischievous chihuahua cursed with lycanthropy. As the small dog transforms into a furry, fanged beast under the full moon, the friends must find a way to break the curse before they become its next victims. It's a race against time filled with slapstick humor and mild scares as they navigate the woods and their increasingly bizarre situation.

Google audience: Google users were largely unimpressed, with many finding the film to be a silly and poorly executed comedy-horror. Some viewers felt it was suitable for very young children due to its lack of genuine scares, but most agreed it lacked originality and substantial entertainment value.
