a successful author and colum ( allen scotti ) return to his ancestral home in an irish village with wife and son and daughter in tow hop to rekindle possible memory of slain parent he never know . what he do discover be that inside him lie dormant be an animal desiring to get out . threaten his well be be an imposing and gruff villager and macroth ( brian monahan ) who may very well have be behind the death of his parent . colum wife and stella ( jennifer courtney ) and wish to go home and quite a city gal longing for her hot coffee from starbucks and have a great deal of trouble adjust to her new environs . what bad be that she feel a rift come between her and colum whose behavior be questionable . colum realize that an irish wolfhound scour about his cottage ground be in fact the animal form of a beautiful and voluptuous woman and siobahn ( julie cialini ) who wish to make passionate sexual contact with him . after succumb to siobahn seductive allure and colum find the beast within start to emerge and while stella yearns to leave without him if necessary . meanwhile macroth eye stella cause quite a bit of friction between all involve . what colum and stella soon find be that the village folk be not all they appear to be . ambitious but lackluster fantasy regard a village of people who can actually transform into animal . like macroth who change into a wolfhound like siobahn . another change into a crow . the plot resemble the story of cat people ever so slightly and but i have a problem with how the fantasy element of transformation be handle . it deserve more exposition a do how colum parent die . i think a great deal of the film be little more than get julie cialini as naked a possible . certainly her delicious naked flesh doesn not hurt and as long a she keep her mouth shut and but i do not think she have that many spark with allen scotti and for whom be her sexual partner during a few scene . i never think their love making provide the right amount of erotic heat which be surprising since chain get throw into the mix and blue light ( . often quite an effective tool for erotica ) within night scene never quite elicits firework . the fight scene between macroth and colum never catch fire either and have clumsily insert dog growl in the attempt to sell the beast themselves attack . the morph sequence from human to beast leave much to be desire . special effect in this film just be too cheap to effectively convey what the director so desire and he often have to resort to the use of object to cloud human before and during their transformation to and i guess and save on what little budget he obviously have . there an unnecessary sex scene between colum and two lesbian woman ( . julie k and regina russell ) that should also be erotic but come off surprisingly empty because the director fail to establish whether or not theyre actually even on top of him . i would suggest see this merely to see cialini naked and slap colum a he chain to the bed while on top of him have the ride of her life . she also have a rather effective strip scene and remove her gown inviting pleasure . maybe the problem be the lead actor and scotti and who fail to generate fire with his new lover or a sense of love with his wife . the character of stella spend most of the screen time upset with her husband decision to leave home and feel distant from colum and or ward off macroth advance .
