Tony, a singer who wants fame and fortune, returns back to his girlfriend Rosemary. He's in love with her and has given up his big time dreams to go back to her. She doesn't believe he has changed his wandering ways so she's reluctant to take him back. Against her better judgement she does. But after a traveling band, Neowolf, comes to town things change for the worse. He auditions and they accept him. He's seduced by Paula, the only female member of the band, and is bitten on the neck. We see her partly transform into a werewolf as this happens. When he starts playing with the band his eyes turn red. He even transforms the personal song he made for his girlfriend into a much darker, edgier tune, which obviously shows he's gone to "the dark side". She wants to save him so she goes to a woman (Veronica Cartwright) who may know how to stop werewolves.
At first I liked it that the werewolves were old school, like in SKINWALKERS, more man than wolf. There are some well-done killing scenes at the beginning of the film, when a couple is kicked off the Neowolf bus, only to be hunted down in the desert that night. Yet some of the charm wore off with the big confrontation at the end of the movie in which the wolfmen much more resembled a bunch of Neanderthal Men. NEOWOLF has much more of a feeling of THE HOWLING movies, by way of LOST BOYS, than it does the TWILIGHT franchise. This aside, I do recommend the movie. It has some surprisingly good music.
