This werewolf film sets in Scotland, but it was filmed in Luxemberg in March 2001. Not much I can say about it as I haven't seen it. From reviews, it is coined as a horror film with a sharp humour, Kevin gave a superb performance as one of the heroes and there is consensus that it is entertaining and a good gory film of the hairy beast. Story in brief: 6 military men got stranded somewhere in Scotland on a full moon with a hairy beast which has a lust for man flesh as companion. Interesting tidbit: they sent Kevin the screenplay c/o the theatre, two weeks before they start shooting. So Kevin headed out to Luxemberg right after the closing of Far Away.

director on Kevin
Kevin was totally bowled over that we offered him this, as he normally plays serious parts. His agent said, "You don't want to do anything daft like a werewolf movie", but he said he quite fancied it as it could be fun, so his attitude was just perfect from the start. He was a dream to work with, like Sean [Pertwee]. (BBC interview)
