A werewolf who only eats virgins stalks a miserable British seaside town and nice kid Jamie (Ed Speleers) falls for mystery American woman Juliana (Jessica Szohr) though a crazed monster-hunter (Timothy Spall) claims she’s the monster. The first hour is painful teenage gross-out comedy, like some misbegotten spawn of The In-Betweeners and Sex Lives of the Potato Men, then it trots through a weak Howling sequel skit. It joins that long line of British comedies without a single honest laugh in them, as the script drags down the struggling performers and obnoxiousness fails to be passed off as character comedy. A CGI creature shows up too late to enliven things, and too many of the too-annoying-to-live characters fail to get disembowelled. It makes Lesbian Vampire Killers seem like Kind Hearts And Coronets.
