Wilderness
In the light of the moon, seduction and pleasure are never what they seem. And neither is Alice White (Amanda Ooms), a beautiful and obsessed woman with a painfully sinister secret: once a month when the moon is full, she locks herself away and transforms into a she-wolf. When a passionate triangle ensues between a psychiatrist who can hardly believe her erotically charged tales and a man who may be her one shot at love, Alice flees to the wilderness where she is free to satiate her most personal and sometimes shocking desires. Originally a three part British TV Mini-series, later released as a single episode on DVD.
